What it does

X Bookmarks is an agent skill from sharbelxyz/x-bookmarks. Fetch, summarize, and manage X/Twitter bookmarks via bird CLI or X API v2. Use when: (1) user says "check my bookmarks", "what did I bookmark", "bookmark digest", "summarize my bookmarks", "x bookmarks", "twitter bookmarks", (2) user wants a periodic digest of saved tweets, (3) user wants to categorize, search, or analyze their bookmarks, (4) scheduled bookmark digests via cron. Auth: bird CLI with browser cookies, OR X API v2 with OAuth 2.0 tokens.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `references/auth-setup.md` and `scripts/fetch_bookmarks.sh`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks, Social media posts and OAuth and OpenID Connect. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: OpenClaw skill: turn your X bookmarks into agent actions. Stop hoarding. Start applying.

When your agent uses it

  • User says check my bookmarks
  • What did I bookmark
  • Bookmark digest
  • Summarize my bookmarks

Example prompts

  • “check my bookmarks”
  • “what did I bookmark”
  • “bookmark digest”
  • “/x-bookmarks”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in AUTH_TOKEN
  • A credential in X_API_BEARER_TOKEN

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. bird CLI (preferred if available)
  2. X API v2 (fallback)
  3. Action-First Digest (Primary Use Case)
  4. Scheduled Digest (Cron)
  5. Content Recycling
  6. Pattern Detection
  7. Bookmark Cleanup

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf1860. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • AUTH_TOKEN
    • X_API_BEARER_TOKEN

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

Context cost

X Bookmarks loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 630 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:19
    - .env.bird: "Optional: stores AUTH_TOKEN and CT0 for bird CLI"
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:25
    sourced from .env.bird), or (2) X API v2 with OAuth 2.0 tokens stored locally.
  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:87
    If user has a `.env.bird` file or env vars `AUTH_TOKEN`/`CT0`, source them first: `source .env.bird`

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 630 words (~1,996 tokens).
