x-safety-filtering

x-safety-filtering is a skill for Claude Code from ElemontCapital/x-algorithm-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (620 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to X's safety and visibility filters. X is the social platform formerly known as Twitter; these filters decide whether posts are shown, limited, or hidden.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for investigating reduced post visibility and understanding the safety labels and viewer settings that affect distribution.
Why use it?
It helps explain why a post may not appear in timelines or search, including effects from blocks, mutes, adult content, abusive content, or misinformation rules.

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-safety-filtering 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 10d ago.

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.

X Safety & Filtering

Expert knowledge of X's VisibilityLib, covering safety labels, shadowban logic, NSFW filtering, and content health suppression mechanisms.

Context

The filtering stage is the "Gatekeeper" of the timeline. Even if a tweet has a high ML score from the Heavy Ranker, VisibilityLib can drop it entirely or apply a "Do Not Amplify" label that restricts it to the author's profile. This layer enforces legal compliance, user blocks, mutes, and platform safety rules (e.g., NSFW or Toxicity).

What it does

  • Decodes "Shadowbans": Explains the specific internal labels (like SearchBlacklist) that cause users to perceive they are shadowbanned.
  • Enforces User Preferences: Handles the logic for Mutes, Blocks, and "Show less often" signals.
  • Manages Content Health: Identifies toxic content or misinformation using models like pToxicity and pAbuse and applies downstream penalties.
  • NSFW Handling: Segments content into "Adult" or "Graphic" categories using pNSFWMedia and ensures it respects the viewer's sensitivity settings.

Guidelines

  • SafetyLevel Context: Rules are evaluated based on the SafetyLevel (e.g., Timeline vs. Profile). A tweet might be visible on a Profile but blocked in the Home Timeline.
  • The "Do Not Amplify" (DNA) Label: Disqualifies tweets from the "For You" (Out-of-Network) timeline and Search results without removing them from the profile.
  • Visibility vs. Ranking: 1. Pre-Scoring: Hard filters (Drop) remove blocked or legally prohibited content. 2. Post-Scoring: Soft filters (Labels) apply safety checks (e.g., author diversity) after the Heavy Ranker has assigned scores.
  • Toxicity Thresholds: If a user enters a "Reply Guy" mode with consistently high pToxicity scores, their account enters a state that limits the reach of all their future replies.
  • Linear Decay: Negative reputation signals follow a linear decay model; an account can "heal" its reputation over time by stopping negative behavior.

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.
