diegosouzapw X (Twitter) Scraper - Xquik
Overview
This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/x-twitter-scraper from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
X (Twitter) Scraper - Xquik
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Capabilities, Repository, Limitations.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
- User needs to search X/Twitter for tweets by keyword, hashtag, or user
- User asks for advanced Twitter search, profile tweets, or user timeline data
- User wants to look up a user profile (bio, follower counts, etc.)
- User needs engagement metrics for a specific tweet (likes, retweets, views)
- User wants to check if one account follows another
- User needs to extract followers, replies, retweets, quotes, or community members in bulk
Operating Table
| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| First-time use | metadata.json |
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | ORIGIN.md |
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | SKILL.md |
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | SKILL.md |
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | ## Related Skills |
Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |
Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
- Sign up at xquik.com
- Generate an API key from the dashboard
- Set it as an environment variable or pass it directly
- Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
- Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
- Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
- Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.

Install the Skill
npx skills add Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper
Or clone manually into your agent's skills directory:
# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper.git .claude/skills/x-twitter-scraper

git clone https://github.com/Xquik-dev/x-twitter-scraper.git .agents/skills/x-twitter-scraper
Use the Hermes Agent Plugin
For Hermes Agent runtime tools, install Hermes Tweet. It wraps the same Xquik API with tweet_explore for endpoint discovery, tweet_read for read-only calls, and approval-gated tweet_action for writes and private actions.
hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable
Use Hermes Tweet when a Hermes Agent should search Twitter/X, read tweet replies, look up users, export followers, monitor tweets, post tweets, post replies, send DMs, or automate X actions with explicit approval gates.
Use the OpenClaw Plugin
For OpenClaw runtime tools, install TweetClaw. It wraps the same Xquik API with explore for endpoint discovery and tweetclaw for approved calls.
openclaw plugins install @xquik/tweetclaw
Use TweetClaw when the agent should search tweets, post tweets, post replies, send DMs, export followers, download media, create monitors, deliver webhooks, or run giveaway draws from OpenClaw.

Examples
Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
Use @x-twitter-scraper-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @x-twitter-scraper-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @x-twitter-scraper-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @x-twitter-scraper-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
- Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
- Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
- Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
- Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
- Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/x-twitter-scraper, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
