Authentication and AT Protocol

Anodizer uses the AT Protocol (com.atproto) to post to Bluesky. Each run performs a two-step flow against https://bsky.social:

Creates a session via POST /xrpc/com.atproto.server.createSession using username and BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD to receive an access JWT and the account's DID.
Creates a post record via POST /xrpc/com.atproto.repo.createRecord using the app.bsky.feed.post lexicon.

If {{ .ReleaseURL }} is present in the rendered message, anodizer automatically adds a rich-text facet marking the URL as a clickable link. Bluesky requires explicit facet annotations for links to be rendered as hyperlinks rather than plain text, so this happens without any extra configuration.

App passwords

App passwords are separate credentials scoped to specific apps. They are recommended over your main account password:

Go to Settings → Privacy and Security → App Passwords.
Click Add App Password, give it a name (e.g. anodizer).
Copy the generated password into BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD.

Example

    username: "myrustproject.bsky.social"
    message_template: "{{ .ProjectName }} {{ .Tag }} released! {{ .ReleaseURL }}"
