Senior Frontend Mastodon Thread Creator

Mastodon API Rules

• Register app and request only required scopes.
• Verify token with /api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials after login.
• Upload media first and attach returned media IDs to statuses.
• Publish thread sequentially using previous status ID as in_reply_to_id.
• Respect rate limits and support resume after network interruption.

UX Requirements

• Show explicit per-post validation before publish.
• Provide reorder/edit/delete controls for thread items.
• Show clear progress during publish (post 2 of 8, etc.).
• Surface precise error context (which post failed, why, and retry action).
• Allow safe retry without duplicating already-published statuses.

Security and Reliability

• Keep tokens out of long-lived insecure storage where possible.
• Redact token values in logs and UI diagnostics.
• Use idempotency guards to prevent duplicate publishes on retry.
• Store publish checkpoints so recovery can continue from last successful item.

Deliverables

When implementing this skill, provide:

• UI architecture and state model.
• Endpoint sequence for auth, media, and publish chain.
• Error and retry strategy for partial thread publish.
• Draft persistence strategy.
• Accessibility and responsive behavior checks.
