What it does

Twitter Reader is an agent skill from nicepkg/ai-workflow. Fetch Twitter/X post content by URL using jina.ai API to bypass JavaScript restrictions. Use when Claude needs to retrieve tweet content including author, timestamp, post text, images, and thread replies. Supports individual posts or batch fetching from x.com or twitter.com URLs.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/fetch_tweet.py` and `scripts/fetch_tweets.sh`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter) and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: 🚀 170+ pre-built skills for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex & 14+ AI tools. Stop re-teaching your AI the same things. One command → instant domain expertise. Marketing, SEO, Trading… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Claude needs to retrieve tweet content including author
  • Tasks that involve Social media posts

Example prompts

  • “/twitter-reader”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in JINA_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Visit https://jina.ai/ to sign up (free tier available)
  2. Get your API key from the dashboard
  3. Set the environment variable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • python

    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:

    • x.com
    • twitter.com
    • r.jina.ai

    Also links to:

    • jina.ai

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

  • Credentials

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

    • JINA_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Twitter Reader loads about 438 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 125 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
~438

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
