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

tool-x-article-publisher 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/copy_to_clipboard.py, scripts/parse_markdown.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to publish-x-article — 8 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

X Article Publisher

Publish Markdown content into X (Twitter) Articles as a draft, preserving formatting via rich text paste and deterministic image insertion.

Hard Rules (Safety)

  1. Never auto-publish (draft only; user publishes manually).
  2. User must be logged in before automation starts.
  3. First image = cover image (if any).

Prerequisites

  • Browser automation available (Playwright MCP or equivalent)
  • X account can access Articles (Premium / Premium Plus)
  • macOS recommended (clipboard helper uses Cocoa)
  • Python 3.9+ with:
    • pip install Pillow pyobjc-framework-Cocoa

Inputs (paths only):

  • article_md_path: Markdown file to publish
  • Optional: run_dir for artifacts (otherwise use /tmp/)

Outputs (recommended artifacts):

  • /tmp/x_article.json (parsed structure)
  • /tmp/x_article.html (HTML body for paste)
  • Optional: run_dir/evidence/x-article-draft.md (what was done + links)

Bundled Scripts

Installed path (typical):

  • ~/.claude/skills/tool-x-article-publisher/scripts/parse_markdown.py
  • ~/.claude/skills/tool-x-article-publisher/scripts/copy_to_clipboard.py

Runbook (Step-by-step)

Follow: references/runbook.md

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
