What it does

Read Twitter/X for financial research through opencli: the user's home timeline, tweet search, trending topics, bookmarks, a user's recent tweets, threads, articles, profiles, followers and following, and notifications. Use this skill whenever the user wants to know what people are saying on Twitter/X or fintwit about a stock, topic, or market event, check their feed or bookmarks, see what's trending, or look up an @account and its posts. Read-only: it cannot post, like, retweet, reply, or follow.

Twitter Skill (Read-Only)

If your host has not already executed the shell probes below (for example, in Codex), run the commands inside the ! wrappers with its shell tool before choosing a setup path. Use the actual output; if shell access is unavailable, report that limitation.

Reads Twitter/X for financial research using opencli, a universal CLI tool that bridges web services to the terminal via browser session reuse.

This skill is read-only. It is designed for financial research: searching market discussions, reading analyst tweets, tracking sentiment, and monitoring financial news on Twitter/X. It does NOT support posting, liking, retweeting, replying, or any write operations.

Important: opencli reuses your existing Chrome login session, no API keys or cookie extraction needed. Just be logged into x.com in Chrome and have the Browser Bridge extension installed.


Step 1: Ensure opencli Is Installed and Ready

Current environment status:

!`(command -v opencli && opencli doctor 2>&1 | head -5 && echo "READY" || echo "SETUP_NEEDED") 2>/dev/null || echo "NOT_INSTALLED"`

If the status above shows READY, skip to Step 2. If NOT_INSTALLED, install first:

# Install opencli globally
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli

If SETUP_NEEDED, guide the user through setup:
