At a glance
Post to X (Twitter) using the official API with OAuth 1.0a. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.
- Works in 3 steps: Get API Credentials → Configure Credentials → Install Dependency

- Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls npm and node; needs X_API_KEY and X_API_SECRET
What it does
X API is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Post to X (Twitter) using the official API with OAuth 1.0a. Use when you need to tweet, post updates, or publish content. Bypasses rate limits and bot detection that affect cookie-based approaches like bird CLI.
Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md` and `scripts/package.json`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Social media posts, Social publishing and cross-posting and Rate limiting. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- You need to tweet
- Publish content
Example prompts
- “/x-api”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A credential in X_API_KEY
- A credential in X_API_SECRET
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Get API Credentials
- Configure Credentials
- Install Dependency
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
npmnode
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
developer.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_API_KEYX_API_SECRETX_ACCESS_TOKENX_ACCESS_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
X API loads about 598 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 187 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 187 words (~598 tokens).
