xitterPost, read, and search X (Twitter) content using x-cli or the X API v2
Xitter is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden. Post, read, and search X (Twitter) content using x-cli or the X API v2
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.json`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Aiden — an autonomous AI agent and work engine built solo. It can operate your browser, terminal, files, apps, APIs, skills and tools, remember context, recover from failures… The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and powershell).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.twitter.comAlso links to:
developer.twitter.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
X_BEARER_TOKENAPI_KEYAPI_SECRETACCESS_TOKENACCESS_TOKEN_SECRETBEARER_TOKENX_API_KEYX_API_SECRETX_ACCESS_TOKENX_ACCESS_SECRETFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Xitter loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 241 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.
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.

Post, read, and search X (Twitter) content using x-cli or the X API v2. Xitter is an agent skill from taracodlabs/aiden.
Xitter fits situations like: tasks that involve Social media posts.
Run `npx skills add taracodlabs/aiden --skill xitter -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/xitter in taracodlabs/aiden) into .claude/skills/xitter in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add taracodlabs/aiden --skill xitter -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/xitter in taracodlabs/aiden) into .agents/skills/xitter in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add taracodlabs/aiden --skill xitter -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/xitter, .gemini/skills/xitter, .github/skills/xitter and .opencode/skills/xitter in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Xitter needs credentials named X_BEARER_TOKEN, API_KEY, API_SECRET and ACCESS_TOKEN. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in API_KEY; A credential in API_SECRET.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: api.twitter.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: developer.twitter.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Xitter is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Xitter: X Research (trailofbits/skills-curated, 513 stars), Tweetclaw (jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace, 2.8k stars), Xquik Social Research (agent-skills-hub/agent-skills-hub, 111 stars) and Social (coreyhaines31/marketingskills, 54k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
