What it does

Runs all X (Twitter) operations via X API v2 and the xurl CLI: post tweets and threads with media, publish X Articles, search, fetch bookmarks, sweep new bookmarks into idea-issues with LifeOS Upgrade analysis, look up profiles, read tweets. USE WHEN post to X, tweet, post thread, search X, search Twitter, X bookmarks, fetch bookmarks, pull bookmarks, check bookmarks, twitter bookmarks, what have I bookmarked, bookmarks for upgrades, tb, bookmark sweep, bookmark ideas, read tweet, X article, X profile, Twitter profile, lookup user, who is on X, authorize X. NOT FOR posting the same content to several platforms at once, writing social copy, Instagram/LinkedIn/TikTok data (Apify within each platform’s terms), bulk reads beyond what the X API plan allows (use your own exported data or a data product X licenses).

X, Unified X (Twitter) API

Handles every X (Twitter) operation through the X API v2 (direct fetch()) and the xurl CLI: post single tweets, threads and media, publish long-form Articles, search recent tweets, fetch bookmarks, look up user profiles, and read tweets by ID or URL. Other skills delegate their X work here, so the credentials, the auth handling and the OAuth 2.0 token store live in one place; if each skill wired up its own, the secrets would sprawl and the refresh chain would break.

Not for posting the same content to several platforms (Broadcast), writing social copy (a copywriting skill), or bulk collection beyond what the X API allows. X reads use the official API or the principal’s own exported data; when X refuses a read, the intent stops and reports it.

Ideal State

  • Every X operation runs through this skill's tools or xurl on the auth mode it needs, and every X read goes through Tools/read.ts, never a web fetch or browser.
  • Nothing reaches the account (a tweet, thread, media post or published Article) without the principal's confirmation, and a post is reported done only after reading it back.
  • Posted text and URLs go out exactly as given, measured by X's weighted count; over-limit text is rejected, never cut.
  • The OAuth 2.0 grant survives every run: one refresher per grant, and a missing scope or revoked grant ends in a surfaced re-authorization URL, never a guess.
