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-post 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (x-post.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.

What it actually says

Post to X using the CLI tool at ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x-post.py.

Setup

Requires Python packages: pip install xdk requests_oauthlib

Credentials file at ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x.key (JSON):

{
  "api_key": "...",
  "api_secret": "...",
  "access_token": "...",
  "access_token_secret": "..."
}

Commands

Post text:

python ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x-post.py post "Your tweet text"

Post with image:

python ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x-post.py post "Your tweet text" --media /path/to/image.jpg

Post with video:

python ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x-post.py post "Your tweet text" --media /path/to/video.mp4

Check profile:

python ~/.claude/skills/x-post/x-post.py me

Rules

  • Always show the user the exact tweet text before posting and get confirmation
  • Never post without explicit user approval
  • Video uploads use chunked upload (INIT/APPEND/FINALIZE) and may take a minute for processing
  • The script auto-detects media type from file extension
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
