What it does
Download X Video is an agent skill from swyxio/skills. Download video from X/Twitter posts using yt-dlp. Use when the user wants to "download this X video", "save this tweet video", "grab video from Twitter", or provides an x.com/twitter.com status URL with a video. Handles HLS streams and uses --print aftermove:filepath for reliable path detection.
Its SKILL.md is about 260 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/download_x_video.py`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts and Video production. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Agent skills for Claude Code and other AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to download this X video
- Save this tweet video
- Grab video from Twitter
- Provides an x.com/twitter.com status URL with a video
Example prompts
- “download this X video”
- “save this tweet video”
- “grab video from Twitter”
- “/download-x-video”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 038ef34. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3yt-dlpbrew
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
Download X Video loads about 256 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 61 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
The full file from swyxio/skills at commit 038ef34, republished under its MIT licence (© swyxio). 61 words, ~256 tokens.
