## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/threads.com/like_post`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/threads.com/like_post

- `postUrl` (string, required): Full URL of the Threads post, e.g. https://www.threads.com/@zuck/post/ABC123.

## Output

- `code` (string, required): The post's short code, parsed from the URL.
- `liked` (boolean, required): True when the post is liked by the signed-in account after this run.
- `postUrl` (string, required): The post URL that was acted on.
- `alreadyLiked` (boolean, required): True when the post was already liked before this run, in which case nothing was clicked and the like was left untouched.
