What it does

Twitch is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Read and write Twitch via the Helix API: channel profile, follower stats, live stream status, past videos, channel title and game updates, clip creation. Trigger phrases: twitch, stream stats, stream followers, channel update.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/twitch.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: twitch
  • Stream followers

Example prompts

  • “/twitch”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. channel-update and clip-create are writes: confirm the exact title/game or the clip request with the user before running, unless standing…
  2. Reading (user, followers, stream, videos) needs no confirmation.
  3. Twitch Helix is rate-limited to 800 points per minute on the standard app tier; back off on 429s.
  4. There is no "schedule a stream" write endpoint: channel metadata updates are the publish-side surface here.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/twitch.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • id.twitch.tv

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Twitch loads about 896 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~896

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Twitch

Purpose

Read and write the user's Twitch channel through the Helix API: channel profile, follower count, live stream status and viewers, past broadcasts and clips, channel title/game updates, clip creation. Use when the user mentions Twitch or their stream.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/twitch.py:

bash
bin/twitch.py auth --client-id abc123xyz                              # verify the token (returns own profile)
bin/twitch.py user --client-id abc123xyz --login someuser             # channel profile (omit --login for own)
bin/twitch.py followers --client-id abc123xyz --broadcaster-id 12345  # follower count + recent followers
bin/twitch.py stream --client-id abc123xyz --user-login someuser      # live now? viewer count, title, game
bin/twitch.py videos --client-id abc123xyz --user-id 12345            # past broadcasts and clips
bin/twitch.py channel-update --client-id abc123xyz --broadcaster-id 12345 --title "New title" --game-id 509658  # confirm first
bin/twitch.py clip-create --client-id abc123xyz --broadcaster-id 12345  # confirm first

The followers, videos, channel-update, and clip-create commands need the numeric channel id: run user first to resolve a login to it.

Auth

  • Provider id: twitch (credential is collected as custom.twitch)
  • Collection: provider OAuth via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access). Self-serve: register an app in the Twitch Developer Console (the Twitch account needs 2FA enabled; there is no review gate). User tokens come from the authorization code flow at https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/authorize; app-only tokens come from client credentials at https://id.twitch.tv/oauth2/token.
  • Required scopes: user:read:email, channel:read:subscriptions, channel:manage:broadcast, clips:edit, chat:write (request only the scopes the commands you need require)
  • Client id: every Helix call needs both Authorization: Bearer and a Client-Id header. The bearer token comes from the stored credential; the client id comes from your app registration and is passed with --client-id on every command.
  • Allowed hosts: api.twitch.tv
  • Status check: bin/twitch.py auth --client-id <id> (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

  1. channel-update and clip-create are writes: confirm the exact title/game or the clip request with the user before running, unless standing permission exists.
  2. Reading (user, followers, stream, videos) needs no confirmation.
  3. Twitch Helix is rate-limited to 800 points per minute on the standard app tier; back off on 429s.
  4. There is no "schedule a stream" write endpoint: channel metadata updates are the publish-side surface here.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/twitch.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
