Vernclaw X Post Read by hekmon8 — Agent Skill

Name: Vernclaw X Post Read
Author: hekmon8

File contents

X/Twitter Post Reader — CLI Skill

Extract complete public post content, author information, and engagement metrics from X (formerly Twitter) through the vernclaw-cli.

When to Use

Read and archive public X/Twitter posts with JSON-first CLI output
Monitor brand mentions and competitor social activity
Collect content inspiration from industry thought leaders
Extract thread content for repurposing into articles or reports

Prerequisites

npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli

Authentication

Before using this skill, check the CLI authentication state:

vernclaw-cli status

If the CLI is not authenticated, run vernclaw-cli login. For CI/CD or headless agents, generate an API key at vernclaw.com/settings/connectors and run vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY.

Invocation

# Read a single post
vernclaw-cli invoke read.x.post --url "https://x.com/username/status/1234567890"

# Batch read multiple posts (comma-separated)
vernclaw-cli invoke read.x.post \
  --url "https://x.com/user1/status/111,https://x.com/user2/status/222"

Parameters

Flag	Required	Description
`--url`	Yes	One or more X/Twitter post URLs (comma-separated). Supports both `x.com` and `twitter.com` domains.

Output

invoke prints compact JSON to stdout by default:

{"status":200,"data":{}}

Parse the numeric status first, then read data. The CLI omits provider raw payloads from normal connector output. Use --pretty only for human-readable terminal output, not automation. For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.

The data object includes a normalized summary and fields such as:

Author — username and display name
Timestamp — publish date and time (UTC)
Content — full post text with hashtags, mentions, and links preserved
Engagement — likes, retweets, and reply counts
Media — image/video indicators and link references
Thread — if the post is part of a thread, all posts are extracted in order

Execution mode: synchronous (results returned in 1–3 seconds).

Example Workflow

# 1. Read a KOL's analysis thread
vernclaw-cli status
vernclaw-cli invoke read.x.post --url "https://x.com/expert/status/123"

# 2. Generate a companion image for the content
vernclaw-cli invoke generate.image --prompt "Visual summary of industry insights"

# 3. Check account status
vernclaw-cli status
