At a glance

Reads public X (formerly Twitter) posts, threads, X Articles, profiles, followers, following, and search results as Markdown or JSON, with no X account and no API key.

  • A URL points at x.com
  • SKILL.md covers when to use this, when not to use this, options and limits
  • Runs TypeScript scripts from its folder; calls bun; reaches x.com; needs X_MD_API_KEY
  • The user mentions a tweet

What it does

Browse X is an agent skill from pc-style/x-md. Reads public X (formerly Twitter) posts, threads, X Articles, profiles, followers, following, and search results as Markdown or JSON, with no X account and no API key. Use when a URL points at x.com, twitter.com, or t.co; when the user mentions a tweet, an X post, a thread, or an X profile; when you need an account's recent posts or connections; or when you need X search results as structured data. Read-only: it never posts, replies, follows, or reads protected accounts, direct messages, or Lists.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/browse-x.ts` and `tests/browse-x.test.ts`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots, Social media posts and Schema markup. It works with X (Twitter), Vercel and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: Turn public X posts, profiles, and search into compact Markdown or JSON for agents. Hosted at x.pcstyle.dev. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A URL points at x.com
  • The user mentions a tweet
  • You need an accounts recent posts
  • You need X search results as structured data

Example prompts

  • “Use the browse-x skill to read public X (formerly Twitter) posts, threads, X Articles, profiles, followers, following, and search results as…”
  • “/browse-x”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in X_MD_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(bun scripts/browse-x.ts *), Bash(curl *x.pcstyle.dev*)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e82627. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(bun scripts/browse-x.ts *)
    • Bash(curl *x.pcstyle.dev*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

    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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • X_MD_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Browse X loads about 733 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~733

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.

browse x

public content through x.pcstyle.dev. no X login needed. run the helper from this skill's directory:

when to use this

reach for it whenever the job is reading one piece of public X content right now:

  • you need the text of a public X post, thread, or X Article and can't run a browser or log into X.
  • you hit an x.com, twitter.com, or t.co link in a document, issue, changelog, or chat log and need its content inline.
  • you want a public profile's bio and latest original posts (replies and reposts filtered out).
  • you're checking who a public account follows, or who follows it.
  • you want X search results as data rather than a rendered timeline.
  • you're saving a post into notes or a vault — --format obsidian emits YAML frontmatter.

when not to use this

  • anything that writes. it never posts, replies, follows, likes, bookmarks, or sends DMs, and takes no X credentials.
  • private, protected, suspended, or deleted accounts and posts. never available; no flag unlocks them.
  • X Lists, DMs, notifications, the personalized home timeline, account analytics. not supported.
  • bulk collection, backfills, or dataset building. it's rate limited and cached for one question at a time.
  • anything needing guaranteed completeness or an SLA. results come from public upstream providers and can lag or truncate — read warnings instead of assuming.
bash
bun scripts/browse-x.ts "https://x.com/handle/status/123"
bun scripts/browse-x.ts profile handle
bun scripts/browse-x.ts search "from:handle release"
bun scripts/browse-x.ts followers handle
bun scripts/browse-x.ts following handle

options

markdown by default. --json for structured output, --full for metadata, --compact for less. use --cursor with the returned cursor to continue. run bun scripts/browse-x.ts --help for thread, feed, and other options.

optional: X_MD_API_KEY sends a bearer key; X_API_BASE changes the host. never print the key. invalid or disabled keys return 401.

limits

public and keyed requests have different quotas. on 429 (exit 3), wait for the printed Retry-After; don't loop retries. exit 2 means bad arguments, exit 1 means another error. private or deleted content may be unavailable. check warnings; don't invent missing replies, media, or pinned posts.
