name: browsing-x
description: "Use when the user wants to interact with X (formerly Twitter) - search for posts, extract a specific post's data (content + engagement + author), extract a user's profile, extract visible posts from a user's timeline or home feed, or assemble visible source context for review, research, fact-checking, reporting, or archiving. Works on x.com and twitter.com. Requires a logged-in session (auth_token cookie) and a real browser - X is a JS-rendered SPA."

## Benchmarks

Benchmarks compare the maintained skill action against a no-skill browser agent that inspects the live page DOM and derives selectors at runtime. Full notes live in [BENCHMARKS.md](../../BENCHMARKS.md).
