generate_posts

Smart Distribute — PostWire's native AI writer. Give ONE prompt (and optional media) and it writes the BEST NATIVE post for EACH platform: correct character limits, hashtag rules, SEO title+tags for YouTube, hook-first captions for TikTok/Reels, professional framing for LinkedIn (link-in-comment), thread-friendly text for X (link-in-reply), CamelCase tags for Mastodon, and more. It does NOT send the same text everywhere — each platform gets its own optimized draft. Returns { drafts: { <platform>: { text, title?, tags? } } }. Review/edit, then pass to post_to_social as per_platform.
