A command-line tool for using the X API, the programming interface for the social network formerly called Twitter. It can publish, reply to, delete, and read posts, and upload media.

Use it to automate posts and replies, read your timeline or public user details, remove posts, and attach uploaded media.

It removes the need to make direct X API requests for common account actions. A dry-run option can show the request without sending it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00064	$0.00746
Opus 5.5	$0.00026	$0.00298
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00149
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00075

Security

Grade A, and why

social-x 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

X (Twitter) API v2: post, reply, delete, read your timeline, upload media.

Run: social x <command> (installed via bun link in this repo, or bun run /path/to/claude-social-skills/src/cli.ts x …). Add --dry-run before any command to print the request instead of sending it.

Credentials

TWITTER_API_KEY
TWITTER_API_SECRET
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

OAuth 1.0a user-context keys from the X developer portal.

Check what is present with social auth status x; store a value with social auth set x <KEY> <value> (OS keyring, else ~/.config/social/.env). Docs: https://docs.x.com/x-api

API description this wrapper is built from

openapi: https://api.x.com/2/openapi.json. Refresh with bun run gen; CI fails if upstream changes.

Commands

Every command accepts --json (raw JSON) and --jq <expr> (filter the JSON with jq).

`social x post <text>`

post a tweet

  --reply-to <id>            reply to a tweet id
  --media <ids...>           media ids from `x upload`

`social x delete <id>`

delete a tweet you posted

`social x user <username>`

look up a public account (bearer token is enough)

`social x me`

the authenticated user

`social x timeline [username]`

recent tweets: yours, or a given @username (bearer token is enough)

  -n, --max <n>              count (5-100) (default "10")

`social x upload <file>`

upload an image/video for --media (v2 media upload)

Anything else: the escape hatch

social api x <path>                       # GET, path relative to the API root
social api x <path> -q key=value          # query parameters
social api x <path> -f key=value          # JSON body field (typed: numbers, booleans, null, JSON literals); implies POST
social api x <path> --raw-field key=value # string field
social api x <path> -X DELETE
social api x <path> --input body.json     # or --input - for stdin
social api x <path> --form                # urlencoded body instead of JSON
social api x <path> --jq '.data[0].id'

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.
