File contents

Twitter/X Skill

Fetch timeline and bookmarks from X using Playwright with session cookies.

Cookies stored at workspace/skills/twitter/twitter-cookies.json (auth_token + ct0).

Setup

Twitter doesn't offer a usable OAuth flow, so auth uses session cookies exported from the user's browser.

Walk the user through these steps:

Log into x.com in a browser
Open DevTools (F12) → Application tab → Cookies → https://x.com
Copy the values of auth_token and ct0

Then save them:

cat > skills/twitter/twitter-cookies.json <<'EOF'
{
  "auth_token": "PASTE_AUTH_TOKEN_HERE",
  "ct0": "PASTE_CT0_HERE"
}
EOF
chmod 600 skills/twitter/twitter-cookies.json

Fetch Timeline

cd /app && uv run workspace/skills/twitter/scripts/fetch_timeline.py        # default 50 tweets
cd /app && uv run workspace/skills/twitter/scripts/fetch_timeline.py 100    # more tweets
