SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @jackwener/opencli, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Financial researchers need to monitor market sentiment, analyst commentary, and breaking news on Twitter/X, but doing so manually is slow and API access requires keys and setup. This Skill lets an agent read Twitter/X directly through your existing Chrome session, with no API keys required. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Timeline, Search & Trending: Read your home feed (For You or Following), search tweets by keyword with top/live filters, and view trending topics for market themes. - User & Thread Data: Fetch a user's recent tweets, profiles, followers, following, threads, long-form articles, bookmarks, and notifications. - Structured Output: Export results as JSON, YAML, CSV, Markdown, or tables for downstream analysis. - Use Case: Ask what fintwit is saying about $AAPL earnings and get a structured summary of recent tweets with engagement metrics, grouped by bullish or bearish sentiment. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to search Twitter for "$AAPL earnings" and summarize the latest market sentiment from fintwit.

Frequently Asked Questions about twitter-reader

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search Twitter for stock sentiment without an API key?▼

Use opencli twitter search with a query like "$AAPL earnings" and the --filter live flag for the latest tweets. opencli reuses your existing Chrome login session via the Browser Bridge extension, so no Twitter API keys are needed.

How to read a Twitter user's recent tweets from the command line?▼

Run opencli twitter tweets USERNAME with an optional --limit flag to fetch a user's most recent posts in chronological order. Add -f json for structured output including likes, retweets, views, and URLs.

Can this skill post, like, or retweet on Twitter/X?▼

No, this skill is strictly read-only. It supports timeline, search, trending, bookmarks, threads, articles, profiles, followers, following, and notifications, but never performs write operations like posting, liking, retweeting, or following.

Does opencli Twitter reading work on Claude.ai?▼

No, it works on Claude Code and other CLI-based agents only. The Claude.ai sandbox restricts the network access and binaries that opencli requires, so the skill cannot run there.

Why does opencli report "No session for twitter.com"?▼

This error means you are not logged into x.com in Chrome. Log into x.com in the browser with the Browser Bridge extension installed, then run opencli doctor to verify session health before retrying.

What are the limitations of reading Twitter via opencli?▼

The skill is read-only, does not expose direct messages, requires Chrome with the Browser Bridge extension, and uses only the active Chrome profile's session. Rate limits can also occur with high request volumes, so keep --limit values modest.
