## Usage Modes

### 1. Simple Mode (Command Line)

For quick, simple posts:

```bash
# Single post
postiz posts:create -c "Hello!" -i "twitter-123"

# With multiple images
postiz posts:create -c "Post" --image "img1.jpg,img2.jpg,img3.jpg" -i "twitter-123"

# With comments (no custom media per comment)
postiz posts:create -c "Main" --comments "Comment 1;Comment 2" -i "twitter-123"
```

**Limitations of Simple Mode:**
- Comments share the same media as the main post
- Cannot specify different images for each comment
- Cannot set custom delays between comments

### 2. Advanced Mode (JSON Files)

For complex posts with comments that have their own media:

```bash
postiz posts:create --json complex-post.json
```

**Capabilities:**
- ✅ Each comment can have different media
- ✅ Custom delays between comments
- ✅ Multiple posts to different platforms
- ✅ Platform-specific content and media
- ✅ Full control over all API features

## For AI Agents

### When to Use Simple Mode
- Quick single posts
- No need for comment-specific media
- Posting to 1-2 platforms
- Same content across platforms

### When to Use Advanced Mode (JSON)
- ✅ **Comments need their own media** ← YOUR USE CASE
- ✅ Multi-platform with different content
- ✅ Threads with step-by-step images
- ✅ Timed follow-up comments
- ✅ Complex campaigns

### AI Agent Tips

1. **Generate JSON programmatically** - Don't write JSON manually
2. **Validate structure** - Use TypeScript types or JSON schema
3. **Test with "draft" type** - Review before posting
4. **Use unique image IDs** - Generate with UUID or random strings
5. **Set appropriate delays** - Twitter: 2-5s, others: 30s-1min+
