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 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.

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 ~/.xurl to LLM context.
  • Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into chat.
  • The user must fill ~/.xurl with 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 / -v in 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.

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.
