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 account controls.

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.

Manage multiple accounts ​

You can sign in to more than one Bluesky account. The active account is the one used when injecting Edit badges and saving edits.

Switch accounts ​

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. The popup lists all signed-in accounts. Click any account to make it active.

The content script immediately reflects the new active account — Edit badges appear only on posts by the newly active user.

Add another account ​

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. Click Add account (or Sign In if shown).
  3. Complete the OAuth flow for the new account.

Sign out a single account ​

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. Find the account you want to remove.
  3. Click the Sign Out button next to it.

Only that account's session is deleted. Other accounts remain signed in.

Sign out of all accounts ​

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. Click Sign Out All.

Edit a post ​

  1. Browse to bsky.app while signed in via skeeditor.
  2. Any post written by your active 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-grapheme 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. If you have subscribed to the skeeditor labeler (see below), an "edited" label will also be applied to the post.

Edit time limit ​

You can configure a time window after which the Edit button is hidden on older posts. This is useful if you only want to allow fast corrections rather than open-ended editing.

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. Click Options (or the gear icon).
  3. Under Edit time limit, choose a window between 0.5 and 5 minutes, or select No limit to allow editing at any time.

The setting is stored locally in the extension and takes effect immediately.

After signing in for the first time, skeeditor will ask whether you want to subscribe to the skeeditor labeler (@skeeditor.link). Subscribing means:

  • Posts you have edited through skeeditor will be marked with an "edited" label visible to other Bluesky users who also subscribe to the labeler.
  • The label is informational only — it does not suppress or hide the post.

You can choose Subscribe to opt in or Not now to decline. Declining has no effect on the editing functionality; you simply will not see "edited" labels on posts.

You can manage your labeler subscriptions at any time from your Bluesky moderation settings.

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.

Sign out ​

  1. Click the skeeditor toolbar icon.
  2. Click Sign Out next to your account (or Sign Out All).

skeeditor immediately deletes the stored session. The edit badges disappear from bsky.app until you sign in again.
