What it does

Hermes Tweet is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Use Hermes Tweet when a Claude Code workflow needs a source-aware handoff to Hermes Agent for X/Twitter research, account context, monitoring, or approval-gated actions through the native Hermes Agent plugin.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts and Hooks and plugins. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Social media posts
  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “/hermes-tweet”

Requirements

  • A credential in XQUIK_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm hermes plugins list shows hermes-tweet as installed and enabled.
  2. Start with tweet_explore for no-network orientation and available-workflow guidance.
  3. Use read-only tweet_read workflows for search, tweet lookup, account context, threads, replies, monitors, or audits.
  4. Before any action workflow, restate the exact intended action and require explicit user approval.
  5. Enable HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true only for the approved action session, then set it back to false.
  6. Never print API keys, session material, cookies, private account data, or hidden runtime details.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • XQUIK_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Hermes Tweet loads about 864 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 354 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~864

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.

Hermes Tweet

Hermes Tweet is a native Hermes Agent plugin for X/Twitter automation through Xquik. Use this skill when the user specifically wants Claude Code to prepare or operate a Hermes Agent workflow with Hermes Tweet installed.

GitHub: Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet

When to Use This Skill

  • The user asks for a Hermes Agent X/Twitter plugin, Hermes social listening, or Hermes-backed X automation.
  • The workflow needs tweet or profile research inside Hermes Agent before drafting code, docs, releases, or launch messaging.
  • The user wants read-first monitoring, support triage, giveaway auditing, or campaign context through Hermes Agent.
  • The user explicitly wants controlled X/Twitter actions through Hermes Agent with an approval gate.

Do not use this skill for generic X/Twitter API work, social publishing platforms, or Rube MCP workflows. Use those dedicated skills instead when Hermes Agent is not part of the request.

Setup

Install and enable the plugin in Hermes Agent:

bash
hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable
hermes plugins list

Hermes prompts for XQUIK_API_KEY during interactive installation. For non-interactive, desktop gateway, or CI-style sessions, set the environment variable on the host that runs Hermes plugin tools:

bash
export XQUIK_API_KEY="xq_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
export HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS="false"

Keep HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=false for research, monitoring, audits, and unattended sessions. Set it to true only for an explicit user-approved session that needs posting, DMs, follows, media changes, monitors, or webhooks.

Operating Pattern

  1. Confirm hermes plugins list shows hermes-tweet as installed and enabled.
  2. Start with tweet_explore for no-network orientation and available-workflow guidance.
  3. Use read-only tweet_read workflows for search, tweet lookup, account context, threads, replies, monitors, or audits.
  4. Before any action workflow, restate the exact intended action and require explicit user approval.
  5. Enable HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true only for the approved action session, then set it back to false.
  6. Never print API keys, session material, cookies, private account data, or hidden runtime details.

Example Prompts

text
Use Hermes Tweet in Hermes Agent to research replies to this launch post, then summarize common support issues.
text
Prepare a read-only Hermes Tweet workflow for monitoring mentions of this release keyword.
text
After I approve the final text, use Hermes Tweet through Hermes Agent to publish the post.

Troubleshooting

  • If only tweet_explore is available, configure XQUIK_API_KEY and restart the Hermes session or gateway.
  • If read tools work but action tools are missing, confirm HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true for that approved session.
  • If Hermes reports the plugin as installed but not enabled, run hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet.
  • If Desktop connects to a remote gateway, set the environment variables on the gateway host, not only on the desktop client.
