Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00023 | $0.04229 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.02115 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00846 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00423 |
Grade C, and why
xurl scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
`xurl` is the X developer platform's official CLI for the X API. It supports shortcut commands for common actions AND raw curl-style access to any v2 endpoint. All commands return JSON to stdout. This is a copy
94% identical to xurl — 22 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 433 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
xurl — X (Twitter) API via the Official CLI
xurl is the X developer platform's official CLI for the X API. It supports shortcut commands for common actions AND raw curl-style access to any v2 endpoint. All commands return JSON to stdout.
Use this skill for:
- posting, replying, quoting, deleting posts
- searching posts and reading timelines/mentions
- liking, reposting, bookmarking
- following, unfollowing, blocking, muting
- direct messages
- media uploads (images and video)
- raw access to any X API v2 endpoint
- multi-app / multi-account workflows
This skill replaces the older xitter skill (which wrapped a third-party Python CLI). xurl is maintained by the X developer platform team, supports OAuth 2.0 PKCE with auto-refresh, and covers a substantially larger API surface.
Secret Safety (MANDATORY)
Critical rules when operating inside an agent/LLM session:
- Never read, print, parse, summarize, upload, or send
~/.xurlto LLM context. - Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into chat.
- The user must fill
~/.xurlwith secrets manually on their own machine. In Docker, this must be the~seen by Hermes tool subprocesses; see the Docker note below. - Never recommend or execute auth commands with inline secrets in agent sessions.
- Never use
--verbose/-vin agent sessions — it can expose auth headers/tokens. - To verify credentials exist, only use:
xurl auth status.
Forbidden flags in agent commands (they accept inline secrets):
--bearer-token, --consumer-key, --consumer-secret, --access-token, --token-secret, --client-id, --client-secret
App credential registration and credential rotation must be done by the user manually, outside the agent session. After credentials are registered, the user authenticates with xurl auth oauth2 — also outside the agent session. Tokens persist to ~/.xurl in YAML. Each app has isolated tokens. OAuth 2.0 tokens auto-refresh.
Installation
Pick ONE method. On Linux, the shell script or go install are the easiest.
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.

xurl is a skill published in the GitHub repository john-data-chen/hermes-agent-backup (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 4,229 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 94% identical to xurl, differing in 22 lines, and is treated as a copy.

regulatory-analysis
Analyzes documents and processes against FINRA, SEC, Federal Reserve, and CFPB regulatory frameworks. Identifies compliance gaps, classifies findings by severity, and recommends remediation. Use when performing compliance audits, regulatory reviews, gap analyses, or verifying policy adherence to financial regulations.
create-agent
Creates and configures agent.yaml files, writes SOUL.md personality definitions, and sets up agent directory structures with skills, tools, and knowledge. Use when the user wants to configure an agent, create agent.yaml, write SOUL.md, set up agent directory structure, or customize agent settings.
manage-skills
Searches the SkillsMP registry, installs skills locally or globally, creates custom skills with SKILL.md frontmatter, and manages the skill lifecycle. Use when the user wants to find skills, add new capabilities, install a skill, browse available skills, create a custom skill, or manage the skills system.
run-agent
Configures and runs agents with different adapters including Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and GitHub Models. Supports local execution, remote git repos, and one-shot prompts. Use when the user wants to run an agent, switch LLM providers, configure adapter settings, or launch agents from git repositories.
wiki-ingest
Ingest a raw source document into the wiki. Reads the source, extracts key information, creates or updates wiki pages, maintains cross-references, and logs the operation. Use when the user adds a new source or says 'ingest this'.
document-review
Reviews financial documents (prospectuses, ADVs, marketing materials) for FINRA 2210 compliance, required disclosures, and balanced presentation. Use when reviewing financial statements, audit documents, regulatory filings, or when the user mentions compliance checks, financial audits, or document verification.
