Scheduled Posts Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Add a Post resource — a content calendar linking a required Site, an optional SocialAccount, a type enum, title/body content, a lifecycle status, and an optional scheduled_at — with a Livewire CRUD UI and a full read/write JSON API, so an AI agent can draft, schedule, and report on posts it publishes externally.
Architecture: Follows the exact pattern established by the existing Sites/SocialAccounts feature in this codebase: one Eloquent model (Post) with two belongsTo relationships, one migration, one factory, a Livewire full-page CRUD component (index + inline modal form), and a REST API controller + API Resource. The only structural difference from the prior feature is that the Posts API is full CRUD (apiResource) rather than read-only, since the AI drives the post lifecycle end-to-end.
Tech Stack: Laravel 13, PHP 8.4, Livewire 4.3.3, Pest 4 (pestphp/pest-plugin-laravel), MySQL, Tailwind 4. Same stack as the existing feature — no new dependencies.
Global Constraints
- No authentication/authorization anywhere (UI or API) — local network only, per spec.
- Posts API is full CRUD (index, show, store, update, destroy) — this is the one resource in the app that is writable via API, unlike the read-only Sites/Accounts API.
typeenum values:twitter,instagram,facebook,reddit,tiktok,linkedin,youtube,blog,other(same network vocabulary asSocialAccount::NETWORKS, plusblog).statusenum values:draft,scheduled,published,failed; defaults todraft.site_idis required; deleting aSitecascades and deletes its posts (cascadeOnDelete()).social_account_idis nullable; deleting aSocialAccountnulls out the post's link, post survives (nullOnDelete()).- No validation ties
typeto the linked account'snetwork— these are independent fields, by design. - This app does not publish anything itself — no queue job or scheduler calling external platforms. The
?due=1API filter exists so the AI can poll for what needs publishing; the AI does the actual publishing and reports back viaPATCH.

Task 1: Post model, migration, and factory
Files:
- Create:
database/migrations/xxxx_create_posts_table.php(viaphp artisan make:migration) - Create:
app/Models/Post.php - Create:
database/factories/PostFactory.php - Test:
tests/Feature/PostModelTest.php
Interfaces:
-
Produces:
Postmodel with fillablesite_id,social_account_id,type,title,body,status,scheduled_at; public constantsPost::TYPESandPost::STATUSES; relationship methodssite(): BelongsToandsocialAccount(): BelongsTo;PostFactoryproducing valid random posts (with aSiteand, optionally, aSocialAccountcreated via factory relationships). -
Step 1: Generate the migration
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan make:migration create_posts_table
(This project runs inside Docker via Laravel Sail. All php artisan/composer/npm commands in this plan must be run as docker compose exec laravel.test <command> from the project root /home/liquidsky/Projects/muninn, not as bare host commands.)
- Step 2: Write the migration
Edit the generated file in database/migrations/:
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
public function up(): void
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->foreignId('site_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
$table->foreignId('social_account_id')->nullable()->constrained()->nullOnDelete();
$table->enum('type', [
'twitter', 'instagram', 'facebook', 'reddit',
'tiktok', 'linkedin', 'youtube', 'blog', 'other',
]);
$table->string('title')->nullable();
$table->text('body');
$table->enum('status', ['draft', 'scheduled', 'published', 'failed'])->default('draft');
$table->timestamp('scheduled_at')->nullable();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
public function down(): void
{
Schema::dropIfExists('posts');
}
};
- Step 3: Write the failing model test
Create tests/Feature/PostModelTest.php:
<?php
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Site;
use App\Models\SocialAccount;
test('a post can be created with required fields only', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$post = Post::create([
'site_id' => $site->id,
'type' => 'blog',
'body' => 'Hello world',
]);
$fresh = $post->fresh();
expect($fresh)
->site_id->toBe($site->id)
->type->toBe('blog')
->body->toBe('Hello world')
->status->toBe('draft')
->social_account_id->toBeNull()
->title->toBeNull()
->scheduled_at->toBeNull();
});
test('a post can be created with an account, title, status, and schedule', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$account = SocialAccount::factory()->create();
$post = Post::create([
'site_id' => $site->id,
'social_account_id' => $account->id,
'type' => 'twitter',
'title' => 'Launch day',
'body' => 'We just launched!',
'status' => 'scheduled',
'scheduled_at' => '2026-08-01 09:00:00',
]);
$fresh = $post->fresh();
expect($fresh)
->social_account_id->toBe($account->id)
->title->toBe('Launch day')
->status->toBe('scheduled')
->scheduled_at->not->toBeNull();
});
test('a post belongs to a site', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$post = Post::factory()->create(['site_id' => $site->id]);
expect($post->site)->toBeInstanceOf(Site::class);
expect($post->site->id)->toBe($site->id);
});
test('a post can belong to a social account', function () {
$account = SocialAccount::factory()->create();
$post = Post::factory()->create(['social_account_id' => $account->id]);
expect($post->socialAccount)->toBeInstanceOf(SocialAccount::class);
expect($post->socialAccount->id)->toBe($account->id);
});
test('deleting a site cascades and deletes its posts', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$post = Post::factory()->create(['site_id' => $site->id]);
$site->delete();
expect(Post::find($post->id))->toBeNull();
});
test('deleting a social account nulls out the post link but keeps the post', function () {
$account = SocialAccount::factory()->create();
$post = Post::factory()->create(['social_account_id' => $account->id]);
$account->delete();
expect($post->fresh())
->not->toBeNull()
->social_account_id->toBeNull();
});
- Step 4: Run test to verify it fails
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/PostModelTest.php
Expected: FAIL — Post class not found, or posts table doesn't exist.
- Step 5: Create the Post model
Create app/Models/Post.php:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\BelongsTo;
class Post extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
public const TYPES = [
'twitter', 'instagram', 'facebook', 'reddit',
'tiktok', 'linkedin', 'youtube', 'blog', 'other',
];
public const STATUSES = ['draft', 'scheduled', 'published', 'failed'];
protected $fillable = [
'site_id',
'social_account_id',
'type',
'title',
'body',
'status',
'scheduled_at',
];
protected $casts = [
'scheduled_at' => 'datetime',
];
public function site(): BelongsTo
{
return $this->belongsTo(Site::class);
}
public function socialAccount(): BelongsTo
{
return $this->belongsTo(SocialAccount::class);
}
}
- Step 6: Create the factory
Create database/factories/PostFactory.php:
<?php
namespace Database\Factories;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Site;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;
class PostFactory extends Factory
{
protected $model = Post::class;
public function definition(): array
{
return [
'site_id' => Site::factory(),
'social_account_id' => null,
'type' => fake()->randomElement(Post::TYPES),
'title' => fake()->optional()->sentence(),
'body' => fake()->paragraph(),
'status' => fake()->randomElement(Post::STATUSES),
'scheduled_at' => fake()->optional()->dateTimeBetween('now', '+1 month'),
];
}
}
- Step 7: Run migrations and test to verify it passes
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan migrate
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/PostModelTest.php
Expected: PASS (6 tests)
- Step 8: Commit
git add database/migrations database/factories/PostFactory.php app/Models/Post.php tests/Feature/PostModelTest.php
git commit -m "feat: add Post model, migration, and factory"
Task 2: Posts Livewire CRUD
Files:
- Create:
app/Livewire/Posts/Index.php - Create:
resources/views/livewire/posts/index.blade.php - Modify:
resources/views/components/layouts/app.blade.php - Modify:
routes/web.php - Test:
tests/Feature/Livewire/PostsTest.php
Interfaces:
-
Consumes:
App\Models\Post(Task 1, incl.TYPES/STATUSESconstants),App\Models\Site,App\Models\SocialAccount,components.layouts.applayout. -
Produces: route named
posts.indexat/posts; Livewire componentApp\Livewire\Posts\Indexwith public properties$siteId,$socialAccountId,$type,$title,$body,$status,$scheduledAt,$editingId,$showForm, and methodscreate(),edit(int $id),save(),delete(int $id),resetForm(). -
Step 1: Write the failing feature test
Create tests/Feature/Livewire/PostsTest.php:
<?php
use App\Livewire\Posts\Index;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Site;
use App\Models\SocialAccount;
use Livewire\Livewire;
test('posts index page lists existing posts', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create(['name' => 'My Blog']);
Post::factory()->create(['site_id' => $site->id, 'title' => 'Hello World Post']);
$this->get(route('posts.index'))
->assertOk()
->assertSee('Hello World Post')
->assertSee('My Blog');
});
test('a new post can be created with required fields only', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
Livewire::test(Index::class)
->set('siteId', $site->id)
->set('type', 'blog')
->set('body', 'New post body')
->call('save');
$post = Post::where('body', 'New post body')->first();
expect($post)->not->toBeNull();
expect($post->site_id)->toBe($site->id);
expect($post->status)->toBe('draft');
});
test('a new post can be created with an account, title, status, and schedule', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$account = SocialAccount::factory()->create();
Livewire::test(Index::class)
->set('siteId', $site->id)
->set('socialAccountId', $account->id)
->set('type', 'twitter')
->set('title', 'Launch')
->set('body', 'We launched')
->set('status', 'scheduled')
->set('scheduledAt', '2026-08-01T09:00')
->call('save');
$post = Post::where('title', 'Launch')->first();
expect($post->social_account_id)->toBe($account->id);
expect($post->status)->toBe('scheduled');
expect($post->scheduled_at)->not->toBeNull();
});
test('site, type, and body are required to create a post', function () {
Livewire::test(Index::class)
->set('siteId', '')
->set('type', '')
->set('body', '')
->call('save')
->assertHasErrors(['siteId', 'type', 'body']);
});
test('an existing post can be edited', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$post = Post::factory()->create(['site_id' => $site->id, 'title' => 'Old Title']);
Livewire::test(Index::class)
->call('edit', $post->id)
->set('title', 'New Title')
->call('save');
expect($post->fresh()->title)->toBe('New Title');
});
test('a post can be deleted', function () {
$post = Post::factory()->create();
Livewire::test(Index::class)->call('delete', $post->id);
expect(Post::find($post->id))->toBeNull();
});
- Step 2: Run test to verify it fails
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/Livewire/PostsTest.php
Expected: FAIL — route posts.index not defined / component class not found.
- Step 3: Create the Livewire component
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan make:livewire Posts/Index --class --no-interaction
(This project uses Livewire 4.3.3, where make:livewire defaults to a single-file component unless --class is passed. Use --class to get separate app/Livewire/Posts/Index.php and resources/views/livewire/posts/index.blade.php files, matching the existing Sites/SocialAccounts pattern.)
Replace app/Livewire/Posts/Index.php with:
<?php
namespace App\Livewire\Posts;
use App\Models\Post;
use App\Models\Site;
use App\Models\SocialAccount;
use Livewire\Attributes\Layout;
use Livewire\Component;
#[Layout('components.layouts.app')]

public function render()
{
return view('livewire.posts.index', [
'posts' => Post::with(['site', 'socialAccount'])->orderByDesc('created_at')->get(),
'sites' => Site::orderBy('name')->get(),
'accounts' => SocialAccount::orderBy('username')->get(),
'types' => Post::TYPES,
'statuses' => Post::STATUSES,
]);
}
public function create(): void
{
$this->resetForm();
$this->showForm = true;
}
public function edit(int $id): void
{
$post = Post::findOrFail($id);
$this->editingId = $post->id;
$this->siteId = (string) $post->site_id;
$this->socialAccountId = $post->social_account_id ? (string) $post->social_account_id : '';
$this->type = $post->type;
$this->title = (string) $post->title;
$this->body = $post->body;
$this->status = $post->status;
$this->scheduledAt = $post->scheduled_at?->format('Y-m-d\TH:i') ?? '';
$this->showForm = true;
}
public function save(): void
{
$validated = $this->validate([
'siteId' => ['required', 'integer', 'exists:sites,id'],
'socialAccountId' => ['nullable', 'integer', 'exists:social_accounts,id'],
'type' => ['required', 'string', 'in:' . implode(',', Post::TYPES)],
'title' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],

$this->body = '';
$this->status = 'draft';
$this->scheduledAt = '';
$this->resetValidation();
}
}
- Step 4: Create the Blade view
Create resources/views/livewire/posts/index.blade.php:
<div>
<div class="flex justify-between items-center mb-4">
<h1 class="text-xl font-semibold">Posts</h1>
<button wire:click="create" class="bg-blue-600 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded">Add Post</button>

</div>
</div>
@endif
</div>
- Step 5: Add the nav link to the shared layout
In resources/views/components/layouts/app.blade.php, change:
<nav class="bg-white border-b border-gray-200 px-6 py-4 flex gap-6">
<a href="{{ route('sites.index') }}" class="font-medium hover:text-blue-600">Sites</a>
<a href="{{ route('social-accounts.index') }}" class="font-medium hover:text-blue-600">Social Accounts</a>
</nav>
to:
<nav class="bg-white border-b border-gray-200 px-6 py-4 flex gap-6">
<a href="{{ route('sites.index') }}" class="font-medium hover:text-blue-600">Sites</a>
<a href="{{ route('social-accounts.index') }}" class="font-medium hover:text-blue-600">Social Accounts</a>
<a href="{{ route('posts.index') }}" class="font-medium hover:text-blue-600">Posts</a>
</nav>
- Step 6: Register the route
In routes/web.php, change:
<?php
use App\Livewire\Sites\Index as SitesIndex;
use App\Livewire\SocialAccounts\Index as SocialAccountsIndex;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/sites', SitesIndex::class)->name('sites.index');
Route::get('/social-accounts', SocialAccountsIndex::class)->name('social-accounts.index');
to:
<?php
use App\Livewire\Posts\Index as PostsIndex;
use App\Livewire\Sites\Index as SitesIndex;
use App\Livewire\SocialAccounts\Index as SocialAccountsIndex;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/sites', SitesIndex::class)->name('sites.index');
Route::get('/social-accounts', SocialAccountsIndex::class)->name('social-accounts.index');
Route::get('/posts', PostsIndex::class)->name('posts.index');
- Step 7: Run test to verify it passes
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/Livewire/PostsTest.php
Expected: PASS (6 tests)
- Step 8: Run the full test suite to confirm no regressions in Sites/SocialAccounts pages (their nav now includes the new Posts link)
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test
Expected: PASS — all existing tests plus the 6 new ones remain green.
- Step 9: Commit
git add app/Livewire/Posts resources/views/livewire/posts resources/views/components/layouts/app.blade.php routes/web.php tests/Feature/Livewire/PostsTest.php
git commit -m "feat: add Posts Livewire CRUD page"

expect(Post::where('body', 'New content')->exists())->toBeTrue();
});
test('it rejects creating a post without a valid site_id', function () {
$response = $this->postJson('/api/posts', [
'type' => 'blog',
'body' => 'New content',
]);
$response->assertUnprocessable()->assertJsonValidationErrors(['site_id']);
});
test('it rejects creating a post without a valid type', function () {
$site = Site::factory()->create();
$response = $this->postJson('/api/posts', [
'site_id' => $site->id,
'type' => 'not-a-real-type',
'body' => 'New content',
]);
$response->assertUnprocessable()->assertJsonValidationErrors(['type']);
});
test('it rejects creating a post without a body', function () {

'status' => 'published',
]);
$response->assertOk()->assertJsonPath('data.status', 'published');
expect($post->fresh()->status)->toBe('published');
});
test('it deletes a post', function () {

});
- Step 2: Run test to verify it fails
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/Api/PostsApiTest.php
Expected: FAIL — routes not found.
- Step 3: Create the Form Request classes
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan make:request StorePostRequest
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan make:request UpdatePostRequest
Replace app/Http/Requests/StorePostRequest.php with:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class StorePostRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function authorize(): bool
{
return true;
}
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'site_id' => ['required', 'integer', 'exists:sites,id'],
'social_account_id' => ['nullable', 'integer', 'exists:social_accounts,id'],
'type' => ['required', 'string', 'in:' . implode(',', Post::TYPES)],
'title' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],
'body' => ['required', 'string'],
'status' => ['sometimes', 'string', 'in:' . implode(',', Post::STATUSES)],
'scheduled_at' => ['nullable', 'date'],
];
}
}
Replace app/Http/Requests/UpdatePostRequest.php with:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Requests;
use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
class UpdatePostRequest extends FormRequest
{
public function authorize(): bool
{
return true;
}
public function rules(): array
{
return [
'site_id' => ['sometimes', 'required', 'integer', 'exists:sites,id'],
'social_account_id' => ['nullable', 'integer', 'exists:social_accounts,id'],
'type' => ['sometimes', 'required', 'string', 'in:' . implode(',', Post::TYPES)],
'title' => ['nullable', 'string', 'max:255'],
'body' => ['sometimes', 'required', 'string'],
'status' => ['sometimes', 'string', 'in:' . implode(',', Post::STATUSES)],
'scheduled_at' => ['nullable', 'date'],
];
}
}
authorize() returns true in both — consistent with the project's no-auth-anywhere constraint (there is no user/permission system to check against).
- Step 4: Create the API Resource
Create app/Http/Resources/PostResource.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Resources;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
class PostResource extends JsonResource
{
public function toArray(Request $request): array
{
return [
'id' => $this->id,
'site_id' => $this->site_id,
'social_account_id' => $this->social_account_id,
'type' => $this->type,
'title' => $this->title,
'body' => $this->body,
'status' => $this->status,
'scheduled_at' => $this->scheduled_at,
'created_at' => $this->created_at,
'updated_at' => $this->updated_at,
];
}
}
- Step 5: Create the controller
Create app/Http/Controllers/Api/PostController.php:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests\StorePostRequest;
use App\Http\Requests\UpdatePostRequest;
use App\Http\Resources\PostResource;
use App\Models\Post;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class PostController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
$query = Post::query();
if ($request->filled('status')) {
$query->where('status', $request->string('status'));
}
if ($request->filled('site_id')) {
$query->where('site_id', $request->integer('site_id'));
}
if ($request->filled('social_account_id')) {
$query->where('social_account_id', $request->integer('social_account_id'));
}
if ($request->boolean('due')) {
$query->where('status', 'scheduled')
->where('scheduled_at', '<=', now());
}
return PostResource::collection($query->orderByDesc('created_at')->get());
}
public function show(Post $post)
{
return new PostResource($post);
}
public function store(StorePostRequest $request)
{
$post = Post::create($request->validated());
return (new PostResource($post))->response()->setStatusCode(201);
}
public function update(UpdatePostRequest $request, Post $post)
{
$post->update($request->validated());
return new PostResource($post);
}
public function destroy(Post $post)
{
$post->delete();
return response()->noContent();
}
}
- Step 6: Add routes to
routes/api.php
Update routes/api.php to:
<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\Api\PostController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Api\SiteController;
use App\Http\Controllers\Api\SocialAccountController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
Route::get('/sites', [SiteController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/sites/{site}', [SiteController::class, 'show']);
Route::get('/accounts', [SocialAccountController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/accounts/{socialAccount}', [SocialAccountController::class, 'show']);
Route::apiResource('posts', PostController::class);
Route::apiResource registers all five REST actions (index, store, show, update, destroy) under /posts, matching the {post} route-model-binding parameter name the controller expects.
- Step 7: Run test to verify it passes
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test tests/Feature/Api/PostsApiTest.php
Expected: PASS (13 tests)
- Step 8: Run the full test suite
Run: docker compose exec laravel.test php artisan test
Expected: PASS — all tests across the app (Sites, SocialAccounts, Posts — UI and API) pass with no regressions.
- Step 9: Commit
git add app/Http/Controllers/Api/PostController.php app/Http/Resources/PostResource.php app/Http/Requests/StorePostRequest.php app/Http/Requests/UpdatePostRequest.php routes/api.php tests/Feature/Api/PostsApiTest.php
git commit -m "feat: add full CRUD Posts API"
Self-Review Notes
- Spec coverage: Post model with required
site_id/type/body, optionalsocial_account_id/title/scheduled_at, defaultedstatus(Task 1); cascade/null-on-delete relationship behavior (Task 1, migration + tests); independenttypevocabulary reusingSocialAccount::NETWORKSplusblog(Task 1); Livewire CRUD UI as a new top-level nav section (Task 2); full read/write API withstatus/site_id/social_account_id/duefilters (Task 3) — all spec requirements are covered. - Placeholder scan: No TBD/TODO markers; every step has concrete, complete code.
- Type consistency:
Postfillable fields (site_id,social_account_id,type,title,body,status,scheduled_at) and theTYPES/STATUSESconstants are used consistently across the model, factory, Livewire component (camelCase property names map to snake_case DB columns explicitly insave()/edit()), Form Requests, and API resource/controller.Post::TYPESandPost::STATUSESnaming mirrors the existingSocialAccount::NETWORKS/SocialAccount::TYPESconvention.
