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

birdclaw 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 2d 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.

birdclaw — Twitter/X Local Workspace

birdclaw is a local-first Twitter workspace that archives, manages, and triages Twitter data (tweets, DMs, likes, bookmarks, mentions) in a self-hosted SQLite database. Includes a web UI for triage.

This complements the xurl skill — xurl is for interacting with the X API (posting, searching, engaging); birdclaw is for archiving and triaging your Twitter data locally.

Secret Safety (MANDATORY)

  • birdclaw delegates API access to xurl when configured — same secret safety rules apply.
  • Never read, print, or send ~/.birdclaw/config.json or ~/.xurl to LLM context.
  • Never ask the user to paste API credentials into chat.
  • Optional OpenAI API key for inbox AI scoring — set via OPENAI_API_KEY env var or Moltis credential store.

One-Time User Setup

birdclaw works in multiple modes:

  1. Local-only (no auth): Import Twitter archive ZIPs, search local data
  2. With xurl (recommended): Full API access for syncing timeline, mentions, DMs
  3. With bird CLI (cookie-based): Read-only access via browser cookies

For full API access, set up xurl first (see the xurl skill), then:

birdclaw setup
birdclaw doctor

Health Check

birdclaw doctor

Import Twitter Archive

birdclaw import /path/to/twitter-archive.zip

Sync via API

birdclaw sync                    # Sync all (timeline, mentions, DMs, likes, bookmarks)
birdclaw sync --timeline         # Just timeline
birdclaw sync --mentions         # Just mentions
birdclaw sync --dms              # Just DMs
birdclaw sync --likes            # Just likes
birdclaw sync --bookmarks        # Just bookmarks
birdclaw search "query"
birdclaw search "query" --limit 20 --json
birdclaw search "query" --from @handle
birdclaw search "query" --after 2026-01-01

Triage (CLI)

birdclaw inbox                   # Show untriaged items
birdclaw inbox --json
birdclaw inbox score             # Run AI scoring on inbox items

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.
