It fetches details like display name, handle, bio, follower count, verification status, account creation date, and more. The skill requires setting up an API token for authentication before use.
When to use it
- Find contact information for someone on X when you only have their username.
- Verify the authenticity of a user's account (e.g., checking for verification status).
- Gather basic profile details about individuals mentioned in text or conversations.
- Quickly access public metrics like follower counts to gauge influence.
Key capabilities
- Retrieves user profiles by username or ID.
- Provides fields including:
id,name,username,description,public_metrics,verified,created_at. - Requires an X API bearer token for authentication.
Example prompts

Tips & gotchas

X_BEARER_TOKENenvironment variable with your X API bearer token, obtained from the developer dashboard (https://developer.x.com/en/portal/dashboard), before using this skill. - Execution Path: The skill is executed via a shell script located at
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} /scripts/lookup.sh. Ensure that path is accessible to your AI agent. - Rate Limits: Be mindful of X API rate limits; excessive use may result in temporary restrictions.
