Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 2 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.x.com, developer.x.com, docs.x.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

The X User Timeline skill allows an AI agent to retrieve recent tweets from a specified Twitter (X) user. It fetches data using the X API, providing details like tweet content, timestamp, public metrics (likes, retweets, replies, views), and author information. This enables agents to analyze user activity on X for research, monitoring, or personalized experiences.

When to use it

  • Social Media Research: Gather recent tweets from a specific individual to understand their current interests or activities.
  • Brand Monitoring: Track mentions and engagement related to a particular brand or influencer.
  • Sentiment Analysis: Collect tweet data for further analysis of public opinion towards a topic or person.
  • Personalized Content Recommendations: Inform content suggestions based on a user's X activity (though this is not explicitly supported by the skill itself).

Key capabilities

  • Retrieves recent tweets from a specified Twitter username.
  • Provides tweet content (text).
  • Returns timestamps for each post (created_at).
  • Includes public engagement metrics like likes, retweets, and views (public_metrics).
  • Offers user information associated with the author of the tweets (author).
  • Supports specifying a maximum number of results to retrieve.

Example prompts

  • "Get me the 10 most recent tweets from kurtwuckertjr."
  • "Retrieve 25 tweets from @elonmusk."
  • "Show me the latest activity on X for user @nasa."

Tips & gotchas

  • X Bearer Token Required: You must set the X_BEARER_TOKEN environment variable with a valid token obtained from the X developer portal. See the skill's setup instructions for details.
  • Rate Limits Apply: The free tier has limitations: 1,500 tweets per month and 10 requests every 15 minutes. Exceeding these limits may result in errors.
  • Command Execution: This skill is accessed via a command line script (timeline.sh) which must be executed from within the agent's environment.
