What problem does it solve?
Users often cannot download videos from X/Twitter posts using standard tools, as many X videos use HLS streaming formats that require specialized handling, leading to failed downloads or inability to locate the saved file.
Core Features & Use Cases
- HLS Stream Support: Correctly processes X/Twitter's fragmented HLS video format that standard downloaders cannot handle.
- Automatic Path Detection: Uses yt-dlp's after_move:filepath flag and a fallback search to reliably return the exact path of the downloaded video file.
- Use Case: If you come across a helpful tutorial or memorable clip on X that you want to access offline, this skill saves the video directly to your specified folder without manual file hunting.
Quick Start
Use the download-x-video skill to save the video from the X post link https://x.com/user/status/123/video/1 to your Downloads folder.
