What it does
X Thread Reader is an agent skill from tokenbender/agent-guides. Use when the user provides an X/Twitter status URL and needs the full thread, context beyond the first post, comparison, summary, intent analysis, title extraction, or reliable post text. Convert status links to Twitter Thread Reader URLs using the tweet id when X is blocked, incomplete, or thread context matters.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: one page guides that i let my subscribed/customised agents consume to perform actions. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user provides an X/Twitter status URL and needs the full thread
- Context beyond the first post
- Intent analysis
- Title extraction
Example prompts
- “/x-thread-reader”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Extract the tweet id from the URL.
- Build the thread-reader URL
- Fetch the Twitter Thread Reader page before drawing conclusions from a single X post.
- Fall back only if Twitter Thread Reader fails or is missing tweets.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a74dd9d. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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:
twitter-thread.comx.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
X Thread Reader loads about 506 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 202 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- Use when the user provides an X/Twitter status URL and needs the full thread, context beyond the first post, comparison, summary, intent analysis, title extraction, or reliable post text.

- Read full X threads through Twitter Thread Reader
X Thread Reader
Use this skill whenever an X/Twitter post may need more than the top-post text.
Workflow
Extract the tweet id from the URL.
- Match
x.com/<user>/status/<id>,twitter.com/<user>/status/<id>, or equivalent status URLs. - Ignore query parameters such as
?s=20.
- Match
Build the thread-reader URL:
text https://twitter-thread.com/t/<tweet_id>Fetch the Twitter Thread Reader page before drawing conclusions from a single X post.
- Use it to recover the thread text, tweet count, linked media alt text, quoted/replied context, and embedded links when available.
- Cite the thread-reader URL in the final answer when it shaped the answer.
Fall back only if Twitter Thread Reader fails or is missing tweets.
- Try
api.fxtwitter.com,cdn.syndication.twimg.com/tweet-result, X embed/oEmbed, web search, or browser-rendered inspection as appropriate. - State uncertainty when mirrors fail or only partial text is available.
- Try
Output Rules
- Do not infer a thread's meaning from the opening tweet alone when a thread-reader page is available.
- When comparing a thread to a local project, read the thread first, then compare it against the relevant local docs or code.
- Preserve exact user output contracts. For title/capture tasks, return only the requested title format.
- Avoid guessed content. If the full thread cannot be verified, say what was verified and what was not.
