Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

x-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

<project_overrides> Before acting on this skill, run:

~/.agents/skills/skill-expert/scripts/load-skill-overrides.sh x-cli

Apply any printed instructions alongside this skill's own workflow: they extend it and never repeal its limits. No output means no project override is in effect. A non-zero exit means the project's override file is broken -- report it and stop rather than silently running unmodified. </project_overrides>

<quick_start> The x CLI follows this pattern:

x <command-group> <action> [arguments] [options]
Task Command
Post a tweet x tweet post "Hello World!"
Reply to a tweet x tweet post "reply text" --reply-to TWEET_ID
Quote a tweet x tweet post "quote text" --quote TWEET_ID
List your tweets x tweet list
Get a tweet by ID x tweet get TWEET_ID
Delete a tweet x tweet delete TWEET_ID (plain-text success message, not JSON)
Preview the current credits purchase x credits add 25.00 --dry-run
Purchase credits with the saved browser session x credits add 25.00 --profile browser --yes
Read post and media metrics x analytics posts TWEET_ID --metrics public_metrics,organic_metrics
Read your audience metrics x analytics user
Check auth status x auth status
</quick_start>

<essential_principles> MANDATORY: Consult the adjacent usage.json at <cli-tools-root>/_repo/skills/<tool>-cli/usage.json before executing ANY x command. This file contains complete command syntax, all arguments, all options, and usage instructions for every command. Never guess at command syntax.

<reference_index> usage.json -- Complete command tree with arguments, options, defaults, and usage instructions for every command. </reference_index>

<success_criteria>

  • Command executes without error
  • Output is displayed in requested format
  • Correct command and flags used (verified against usage.json) </success_criteria>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
