What it does

Twitter Profile Lookup is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Look up Twitter/X profiles - get bio, followers, tweets, and engagement

Its SKILL.md is about 620 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Social media posts

Example prompts

  • “/twitter-profile-lookup”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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 yaml).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Twitter Profile Lookup loads about 619 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 287 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~619

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.

Twitter/X Profile Lookup

Setup

Read scrapecreators-api first. Execute every operation below through the runtime it selects: the GooseWorks MCP tool in terminal-free clients, the GooseWorks CLI in a local terminal, or the direct API with the user's own key. Never assume a shell is available.

Get profile information, tweets, and engagement data for any Twitter/X account.

When to Use

  • User asks about a Twitter/X account
  • User wants to see someone's tweets
  • User asks "who is @username on Twitter?"
  • Research on a public figure or company
  • Social media due diligence

How It Works

Uses the ScrapeCreators API through its direct GooseWorks proxy.

Usage

Get User Profile
yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/twitter/profile
query:
  handle: openai
Get User's Tweets
yaml
provider: scrapecreators
method: GET
path: /v1/twitter/user-tweets
query:
  handle: openai

Parameters

Profile
  • handle (required) - Twitter handle (without @)
Tweets
  • handle (required) - Twitter handle (without @)
  • trim (optional) - Set to "true" for a trimmed response

Response

Profile Response
  • User display name and handle
  • Bio/description
  • Follower and following counts
  • Tweet count
  • Profile and banner image URLs
  • Verified status
  • Account creation date
  • Location and website (if set)
Tweets Response
  • Tweet text content
  • Like, retweet, reply counts
  • Media attachments (images, videos)
  • Timestamp
  • Engagement metrics

Examples

User: "What has OpenAI been posting on X?" Use the Get User's Tweets operation with handle: openai.

User: "Show me Sam Altman's recent tweets" Use the Get User's Tweets operation with handle: sama.

User: "What's Anthropic sharing on Twitter?" Use the Get User's Tweets operation with handle: AnthropicAI.

Error Handling

  • success: false — the API may temporarily be unable to access the profile; retry after a few seconds
  • Protected/private accounts return errors — no workaround
  • Rate limiting may cause failures on rapid sequential requests — add short delays between calls

Tips

  • Remove @ from handles
  • Protected/private accounts cannot be accessed
  • Returns recent tweets (not full history)
  • Rate limiting may apply for very frequent requests
