What is ecto?
ecto is a high-performance command-line interface designed for developers and content creators using Ghost.io. It leverages the Ghost Admin API to provide a seamless experience for managing posts, pages, and site metadata directly from the terminal. As one of the versatile Openclaw Skills, it enables programmatic interaction with headless CMS environments, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines and automated publishing workflows.
The tool supports markdown-to-HTML conversion, ensuring that your local writing environment translates perfectly to your Ghost blog. With native JSON output support, ecto integrates effortlessly with other command-line utilities like jq, allowing for complex content migrations and batch updates. This skill empowers users to bypass the web interface and handle site management through a developer-centric workflow that is both fast and scriptable.
ecto Use Cases
- Automating blog post publishing directly from local markdown files in a Git repository.
- Managing multiple Ghost.io sites using a single CLI tool with saved authentication profiles.
- Scheduling content releases for specific dates and times via the command line.
- Bulk updating post tags or statuses using JSON output and shell scripts.
- Uploading assets and managing webhooks for integration with external services like Netlify or Vercel.
How ecto Works
- The user configures authentication for one or more Ghost.io sites by providing the site URL and Admin API key.
- The CLI establishes a secure connection with the Ghost Admin API endpoints to fetch, create, or modify data.
- For content creation, ecto processes local markdown files or stdin and automatically converts them to the Ghost-compatible HTML format.
- The tool returns either human-readable summaries or structured JSON for further script processing.
- Users can switch between different site profiles dynamically using command flags or environment variables.
ecto Setup
To get started with this skill, first add your Ghost.io site credentials to the CLI:
ecto auth add <name> --url <ghost-url> --key <admin-api-key>
Set your site as the default for current operations:
ecto auth default <name>
Verify your configuration by fetching site information:
ecto site --json
