Using skeeditor

Sign in

skeeditor uses Bluesky's official OAuth 2.0 flow. Your password is never stored or even seen by the extension.

1. Click the skeeditor icon in your browser toolbar.
2. The popup shows a Sign In button. Click it.
3. A new tab opens to bsky.social (the Bluesky authorization server).
4. Log in with your Bluesky credentials and approve the access request.
5. The tab closes automatically and the popup now shows your handle and a Sign Out button.

Re-authorization

OAuth tokens expire. When your session expires, the popup will prompt you to Re-authorize. This repeats the same OAuth flow but does not require you to re-enter your password if Bluesky still has an active session for your browser.

Edit a post

1. Browse to bsky.app while signed in via skeeditor.
2. Any post written by your account will show a small ✏ Edit badge in the bottom‑right corner.
3. Click Edit to open the editor modal.

The edit modal

The editor modal contains:

• A text area pre-filled with the full current text of the post.
• A character counter that tracks the 300-character limit.
• A Save button to write the changes back to your Bluesky repository.
• A Cancel button to close without saving.

Edit the text as needed, then click Save.

Facets are recalculated

When you save, skeeditor scans the new text for links (URLs), @mentions, and #hashtags and recalculates the byte-offset facets automatically. You don't need to do anything special — just type normally.

After saving

After a successful save the modal closes and the post text on the page updates to reflect your edits. Other users will see the updated text the next time they load or refresh the page.

Conflict handling

If the post was updated elsewhere (for example, by another device or app) after the editor was opened, skeeditor detects the CID mismatch and shows a conflict warning before overwriting.

The warning describes what happened and asks you to:

• Reload — discard your edits and reload the current version of the post, or
• Force save — overwrite the post with your edited version regardless.

See Conflict Handling in the developer docs for the full technical details.
