Description
Post tweets, read mentions, reply, like, retweet, and search on X/Twitter using the official v2 API. Use for all X interactions instead of bird-cli or browse...
Usage Guidance
Do not install or run this skill until you validate a few things: (1) confirm the package actually includes the xpost script or obtain its canonical source and review its code before making it executable — never run an uninspected script placed in your ~/clawd/bin; (2) ask the publisher to update the registry metadata to declare the required credentials (X_API_KEY, X_API_SECRET, X_ACCESS_TOKEN, X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, X_USER_ID) so you know what secrets the skill needs; (3) inspect xpost for network calls/exfiltration beyond api.twitter.com and for unsafe shell execs; (4) store API keys securely (restrict file permissions: chmod 600) or use a secrets manager rather than a world-readable file; (5) prefer a skill with a verifiable source/homepage and explicit install spec; (6) if you must test, run the CLI in an isolated environment (sandbox/container) and review logs. These inconsistencies do not prove malice, but they are enough reason to proceed cautiously.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: x-twitter-agent
Version: 1.0.0
The skill enables automated X (Twitter) interactions via a CLI tool (xpost) and cron jobs, requiring high-risk capabilities including shell execution, network access, and file system access to sensitive API keys in ~/.config/x-api/keys.env. Although the SKILL.md documentation provides extensive safety guidelines and prompt injection defenses, the broad permissions and automated system-level interactions are classified as suspicious according to the provided criteria for risky capabilities.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to act as an X/Twitter v2 API agent and instructs storing API keys and using a local xpost CLI, which is consistent with its purpose — but the registry metadata lists no required credentials and the package contains no code files despite the SKILL.md saying the xpost script is included. That mismatch is unexplained.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions tell the agent to read keys from ~/.config/x-api/keys.env and to execute ~/clawd/bin/xpost, and to place/make-executable a script supplied by the package. The instructions do not ask to read unrelated system files, but they rely on a binary and a secrets file that are not declared in the skill metadata and are not present in the package — a coherence issue and an operational risk (you must verify the script before running).
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files in the package, yet SKILL.md states the xpost CLI 'is included in the skill package download' and instructs installing it into ~/clawd/bin. That contradiction is a red flag: either the package omitted the script, or the skill expects you to download/execute an external script. Both require careful review.
Credentials
The skill clearly requires X API credentials (API key, secret, access token, access token secret, user id) and instructs storing them in ~/.config/x-api/keys.env, but the registry metadata declares no required env vars or primary credential. Required secrets are not declared, which is disproportionate and hides the true credential needs.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill is user-invocable with normal autonomous invocation allowed. It does not request elevated or persistent platform-wide privileges in metadata. No indication it modifies other skills or system config.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install x-twitter-agent - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/x-twitter-agent - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
