In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an account, find recent posts or mentions, study replies and retweeters for a post, search topics, or check trends.
Why use it?

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

twitter-research 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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

twitter-research

A read-only research toolkit for Twitter/X, backed by SELAT's own first-party Twitter API (catalog.selat.ai). The manifest wires 9 GET reads at $0.001 each. selat skill run always runs all 9 (about $0.009). When a request needs only one or two reads, the agent pays just those with individual selat-pay calls. No API keys, keyless pay-per-call.

When To Use

Use for read/lookup tasks on X: profiling an account, pulling someone's recent posts, seeing who mentions or follows them, analyzing how a specific tweet landed (replies + retweeters), searching for a topic/keyword, or checking regional trends. Read-only — it does not post, like, or follow, and cannot see protected/private accounts.

Workflow

selat skill run twitter-research runs all 9 steps, every time. The runner has no step-selection flag. Any param you don't pass falls back to its default (openai, AI agents, tweet 20, worldwide trends), so a full run also pays for reads you didn't ask about. Pick the path that fits the request.

  1. Install: selat skill install twitter-research
  2. Map the request to the reads it needs (table below), then tell the user the cost and wait for a yes — "this is N SELAT-native Twitter reads, about $0.00N — go ahead?"
  3. Run it one of two ways:
    • All 9 reads (~$0.009): use this for a broad sweep, or when the request touches most of the table. Pass every param so no default leaks in: selat skill run twitter-research --handle <handle> --query "<query>" --tweetId <id> --woeid <woeid>
    • Only the reads you need ($0.001 each): pay each selected URL from the table in references/endpoints.md with its own selat-pay call. For example: selat-pay GET "https://catalog.selat.ai/twitter/user/info?userName=<handle>" --chain <chain holding your Gateway balance> --max-amount 0.01 A paid selat-pay call needs an armed session budget (selat budget start). Its --chain names the chain holding your Gateway balance; don't hardcode one.
  4. Synthesize for the user in plain language: give the answer, not the JSON. Lead with the finding and the dollar cost. Keep endpoint URLs, wallet addresses, and tweet IDs out of what you relay.

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.
