What it does

X Use Setup is an agent skill from ihuzaifashoukat/x-use. Zero-knowledge onboarding for x-use that verifies the install, registers the MCP server, then interviews the user to configure their first X account (cookies, niche, keywords, persona). Use when x-use is not yet configured, when adding an account, or when the user asks to get started.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers and Cryptography. It works with Model Context Protocol and X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Browser-native AI agents for X (Twitter): multi-account, MCP-ready, no X API key required. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e57e215. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pip
- claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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

X Use Setup loads about 731 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 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: ~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~731

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.

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.

name: x-use-setup
description: Zero-knowledge onboarding for x-use that verifies the install, registers the MCP server, then interviews the user to configure their first X account (cookies, niche, keywords, persona). Use when x-use is not yet configured, when adding an account, or when the user asks to get started.

x-use setup

Goal: a working account, configured conversationally. The user should never edit a config file by hand. Work through these steps in order, skipping any that are already done, and confirm each before moving on.

1. Verify the install

Run x-use doctor. It checks Chrome/driver, cookies, LLM key, proxies.
If x-use is not found: pip install x-use-mcp, then re-run doctor.
If the MCP server is not registered in this client yet, register it, then ask the user to restart the client:
- Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json): {"mcpServers": {"x-use": {"command": "x-use", "args": ["mcp"]}}}
- Claude Code: claude mcp add x-use -- x-use mcp
- Codex (~/.codex/config.toml): [mcp_servers.x-use] with command = "x-use", args = ["mcp"]

2. Account + cookies

Ask: "What should this account be called (a short id like main or brand)?" Then explain cookie export:

Install a cookie-export browser extension (e.g. "Cookie-Editor").
Log into x.com in that browser, open the extension on x.com, Export as JSON.
Save the file somewhere on this machine and give me the path.

Then call add_account(account_id, cookie_file=<path>). The file is validated and copied server-side; cookie values never pass through the chat. Verify with get_account_health(account); cookie status should be valid.

3. Niche and keywords

Ask: "What niche are you in, which keywords should I watch, and whose posts do you want to engage with (profiles)?" Apply with update_account(account, target_keywords=[...], competitor_profiles=[...]).

Show full SKILL.md (134 more words)Show less

4. Persona

Ask how they want to sound. Offer the three starter personas from presets/personas/ (builder, founder, curator) as starting points, let the user pick or dictate their own, then apply with update_account(account, persona=<text>). Keep it under 4000 chars, markdown, covering: voice, topics, reply style, what to avoid, 1-2 example replies.

5. Optional extras (only if relevant)

Multi-account: repeat from step 2, and ask about proxies, added with add_proxy(pool, proxy_url) and assign with update_account(account, proxy="pool:<name>").
Background automation (unattended "auto" text): needs one OpenAI-compatible key in config/settings.json under llm (api_key, base_url, model). Interactive use needs no key at all.

6. Prove it works

Stage something real but harmless: use x-use-engage to research one reply draft, or x-use-content to stage one post draft. Show it via list_drafts. Tell the user: nothing posts until you say approve_draft(<id>).
