feat(skills): replace xitter with xurl — the official X API CLI#12303
Merged
Conversation
Swap the social-media/xitter skill (third-party wrapper around Infatoshi/x-cli) for a new social-media/xurl skill wrapping xdevplatform/xurl — the official X API CLI from the X developer platform team. Why: - xurl is officially maintained by the X dev platform team - OAuth 2.0 PKCE with auto-refresh + multi-app / multi-user support (vs. xitter's 5-env-var OAuth 1.0a + single account) - Credentials stored in ~/.xurl managed by xurl itself — no manual env var juggling for users - Substantially larger API surface: DMs, follows, blocks, mutes, media upload, streaming, and raw v2 endpoint access - Ships stronger agent-safety guardrails (forbidden-flag list, no --verbose in agent mode, never-read-~/.xurl rule) Adaptation: - Ported the openclaw SKILL.md (which the xdevplatform team seeded) to Hermes frontmatter conventions (prerequisites.commands, platforms, metadata.hermes.tags/homepage) — dropped openclaw-specific metadata - Added a Hermes-oriented one-time user setup section so the agent knows to direct the user to run auth commands themselves, never execute them with inline secrets - Preserved the mandatory secret-safety rules verbatim - Attribution block credits xdevplatform, openclaw, and the Hermes port Docs: updated website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md to replace the xitter row with xurl.
