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

x-twitter-reader 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 8d ago.

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

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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

X Twitter Reader

Use this skill to acquire source content from X/Twitter. Translation, summarization, critique, or archiving are downstream tasks; first extract the original post, thread, or Article faithfully.

What This Skill Returns

Prefer structured content over visual page scraping. A good extraction includes:

  • original source URL and resolved X/Twitter URL when available
  • post id, author name, screen name, timestamp, and language
  • engagement metrics when available: likes, reposts, replies, quotes, views, bookmarks
  • post text and linked URLs
  • media references with type, URL, width, and height when available
  • long-form Article title and full Article text when present
  • reply-thread items when the user asks for thread or conversation context

Do not translate, summarize, or rewrite during extraction unless the user explicitly asks for that downstream output. If the user asks to translate an X URL, first extract with this skill, then translate the extracted content.

Primary Workflow

Prerequisites and privacy boundary:

  • Require uv; check with command -v uv and stop if it is unavailable. Do not install it implicitly.
  • The bundled script pins the PyPI package twitter-cli==0.8.5 and requires Python 3.10+. uv may download the fixed dependency and a compatible Python into its cache on first run.
  • twitter-cli may reuse TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN / TWITTER_CT0 or a logged-in Arc, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Brave session. Tell the user before the first credentialed run and obtain approval. Never print or persist cookies or tokens.

  1. Normalize the URL:

    • Accept only HTTPS x.com and twitter.com URLs.
    • Reject t.co; ask for the expanded X/Twitter URL instead of following a redirect that may target an unrelated site.
    • Preserve the original URL in the output metadata.
    • Ignore URL query parameters when identifying the status id.

  2. Run the bundled extractor from this skill directory:

    uv run --no-project --python 3.10 scripts/fetch_x_content.py 'https://x.com/user/status/123' --format markdown

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.
