Manage Buffer via Claude Code CLI

Pipe `list_pending_updates` into your shell scripts to monitor your queue. You can automate reports or trigger alerts based on what is queued to go out. Use `create_update` as a command-line tool to push posts after your CI/CD pipeline completes. It allows for programmatic social updates without manual entry.

Terminal-based Buffer queue control

Run `shuffle_updates` directly from your terminal to randomize your social schedule. Claude Code executes the command and returns the confirmation string. If you have too many drafts, `delete_update` clears them out quickly. It keeps your terminal output clean and your social queue focused.

Audit Buffer profiles with Claude Code

Fetch your current profile configuration using `get_config` to ensure your automated posts hit the right channels. It provides the metadata needed for your scripts. Check your account standing with `get_user` during your morning status check. Claude Code prints the info so you can verify everything is active before the day starts.
