What it does

Xurl is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. xurl CLI for authenticated X posts, replies, reads/search, DMs, media upload, followers, auth status, or raw v2 API calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots

Example prompts

  • “/xurl”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb5970. 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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • x.com

    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

Xurl loads about 675 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~675

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.

xurl

Use xurl for X API work. Shortcut commands return JSON; raw mode works for any v2 endpoint.

Auth

  • ~/.xurl holds tokens; check auth with xurl auth status instead of reading it.
  • Pass secrets to auth commands through the prompt, not inline, so they stay out of shell history.
  • --verbose prints auth headers into tool output.

Common shortcuts

bash
xurl post "Hello world!"
xurl reply POST_ID "Nice."
xurl quote POST_ID "My take"
xurl delete POST_ID
xurl read POST_ID
xurl search "query" -n 20
xurl whoami
xurl user @handle
xurl timeline -n 20
xurl mentions -n 10
xurl like POST_ID
xurl unlike POST_ID
xurl repost POST_ID
xurl unrepost POST_ID
xurl bookmark POST_ID
xurl unbookmark POST_ID
xurl followers -n 20
xurl following -n 20
xurl follow @handle
xurl unfollow @handle
xurl block @handle
xurl unblock @handle
xurl mute @handle
xurl unmute @handle
xurl dm @handle "message"
xurl dms -n 10

POST_ID can be a full https://x.com/<user>/status/<id> URL.

Media

bash
xurl media upload image.jpg
xurl media upload clip.mp4
xurl media status MEDIA_ID
xurl post "caption" --media-id MEDIA_ID

Videos may need processing; poll media status.

Auth/app management

bash
xurl auth status
xurl auth apps list
xurl auth default
xurl auth default APP_NAME USERNAME
xurl auth apps remove APP_NAME

Per request:

bash
xurl --app APP_NAME /2/users/me
xurl --auth oauth2 /2/users/me

Raw API

bash
xurl /2/users/me
xurl -X POST /2/tweets -d '{"text":"Hello world!"}'
xurl '/2/tweets/search/recent?query=openclaw&max_results=10'

Use raw mode when shortcuts do not cover the endpoint. Keep payloads in temp files for complex JSON.

Output and errors

  • JSON stdout on success.
  • Non-zero exit on API/auth/network errors.
  • 401/403: auth, scope, or app mismatch; check xurl auth status.
  • 429: rate limited; back off.
  • Media upload failures: check file type/size and media processing status.
