Apply production-ready Hootsuite SDK patterns for TypeScript and Python. Use when implementing Hootsuite integrations, refactoring SDK usage, or establishing team coding standards for Hootsuite. Trigger with phrases like "hootsuite SDK patterns", "hootsuite best practices", "hootsuite code patterns", "idiomatic hootsuite".
Production patterns for Hootsuite REST API: typed client, token management, scheduling helpers, and Python integration.
