What it does
When this skill is installed, the agent follows a tested playbook for operating X (Twitter) through a browser: opening the compose box, typing text past a rich-text editor quirk, attaching images through the hidden file input, and replying to posts. It also includes a list of stable page selectors and timing guidance so the agent checks that the Post button is enabled before clicking it. It depends on another skill, browser-automation, which must be loaded first.
Great for
- Developers building an agent that posts or replies on X and need a working reference for the page structure
- Marketers or community managers who want an agent to draft and publish routine posts from a controlled browser session
- People already using the Hive framework's browser-automation skill who want X-specific guidance
Skip it if
- Anyone who wants to automate high-volume posting or mass replies: the skill itself notes rate limiting and anti-bot challenges, and automated engagement may violate X's terms and get accounts restricted.
- Situations where selectors may have changed: the file is dated 2026-04-11 and X's markup changes, so flows may break without re-verification.
- Tasks needing the official X API: this skill drives the website with a browser, not the API.
Try asking
- “Post a tweet with this text and check the Post button is enabled before sending.”
- “Reply to the top relevant posts on my home feed with a short helpful answer.”
- “Upload this image to a new post on X and confirm the preview appears before publishing.”
- “Search X for a keyword and list the recent posts I could engage with.”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Start with a test account and a draft text, and confirm the agent verifies the preview and Post button state before any real publish.
- Keep the browser-automation skill loaded alongside this one, since the X-specific steps depend on its coordinate and typing workflow.
- Re-verify selectors if flows fail, because X's data-testid attributes can change without notice.
