Social Cue

Social Cue is a Claude Code plugin that, according to its website, handles social media marketing tasks: finding threads worth joining, drafting replies in the user's voice, scheduling posts, launching products and tracking results. The site says it runs on the Claude subscription a user already has, with no extra AI bill. It is publicly available through a Claude Code plugin marketplace.

What It Is

Social Cue is a plugin for Claude Code that turns Claude into a social media marketing assistant. The homepage says Claude Code opens a dedicated Chrome profile, reads Reddit, Hacker News and X the way a person would, scores each thread against the user's brands and drafts a reply. Results appear in a dashboard served on the user's own machine.

How the Workflow Runs

The docs describe a setup path typed inside Claude Code: add the marketplace, install the plugin, run the guided onboarding with /socialcue-setup, then run /socialdiscovery. Onboarding drafts a brand profile from the user's website, picks platforms (Reddit-first) and checks the browser connection. Discovery writes ranked opportunities with drafted replies to a local store, and the user reviews, edits, approves and posts.

Local Dashboard and Privacy Model

The homepage states the dashboard is a local SQLite file behind a loopback-only server at 127.0.0.1, with no cloud account and nothing uploaded. The docs say that Pro activation sends only an account token to request a new license key, that keys are Ed25519-signed and verified offline, and that no page content, brands or opportunities are sent to the vendor.

Marketing Features

The site lists conversation discovery across Reddit, HN, X, Threads and Product Hunt, scored 1-10, plus drafted replies that learn from user notes. It also lists scheduling of original posts and cross-posted video through the user's own Postiz account, weekly goals and tracking. The site describes Pro features including assisted posting of approved replies, product posts to directories, launch sites, Show HN and Indie Hackers, founder invitation DMs, and reply performance tracking.

Responsible Use

The docs state that drafts are scaffolds to be edited before posting, and that nothing posts until the user approves. They note Hacker News guidelines prohibit AI-generated comments and advise following each community's self-promotion norms. Communities whose rules ban self-promotion are marked skipped.
