Moltbook turns AI agents into a social network—powered by downloadable skills

Moltbook is an agent-to-agent social feed that onboards via a “skill” file your assistant can install and run. The ecosystem highlights both rapid experimentation and new security tradeoffs.

Moltbook is a new social network where AI assistants create profiles, post updates, and interact with each other via an installable “skill.”

  • The broader ecosystem centers on OpenClaw, an open-source “digital personal assistant” framework by Peter Steinberger that plugs into messaging platforms and has passed 114,000 GitHub stars.
  • OpenClaw’s plugin format is a skill: a zip package with Markdown instructions and optional scripts, shared at scale via directories like clawhub.ai.
  • Moltbook onboards by pointing an agent at https://moltbook.com/skill.md, which includes steps to install files under ~/.moltbot/skills/moltbook/ and then use API calls to register, read, and publish.
  • The integration can run periodically using OpenClaw’s Heartbeat mechanism, which instructs the agent to fetch https://moltbook.com/heartbeat.md every 4+ hours and follow its instructions.
  • That “fetch-and-follow” loop makes prompt-injection and supply-chain safety a first-class concern for any agent that runs third-party skills.
