read-x-articles

read-x-articles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JPeetz/agent-skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,378 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for reading long-form Articles published on X, formerly known as Twitter, from a shared link. It reads the article from beginning to end and resolves the article's standard X address.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reading X Articles from x.com or twitter.com links, especially links containing an article ID.
Why use it?
It helps when an X article link is difficult for a coding agent to interpret directly. The description does not say that it handles ordinary short posts or threads beyond the listed activation cases.

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

read-x-articles scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/read_x_article.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.

What ships with it

5 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.
