BytesAgain X Manager

Manage your X (Twitter) account with automated posting, monitoring, and engagement. Generates tweet drafts via xAI, validates content before posting, and routes mention replies through human approval.

Setup

This skill requires the following environment variables to be configured before use:

Variable	Required	Description
`X_API_KEY`	✅	X API Key from developer.x.com (Read+Write app)
`X_API_SECRET`	✅	X API Key Secret
`X_ACCESS_TOKEN`	✅	X Access Token (account-specific)
`X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`	✅	X Access Token Secret
`X_USER_ID`	✅	Your X account numeric user ID
`XAI_API_KEY`	✅	xAI API key for Grok tweet generation
`TG_TOKEN`	✅	Telegram bot token for approval notifications
`TG_CHAT`	✅	Telegram chat ID to receive notifications

No credentials are stored or transmitted by this skill. All values are read from environment variables at runtime only.

What This Skill Owns

Tweet posting and replies: publish content via X API OAuth 1.0a with pre-post validation
Daily content generation: create 3 tweet drafts/day using xAI trend analysis
Brand monitoring: scan @bytesagain mentions every 2 hours, draft replies for approval
Auto-like: like AI/skill related tweets to grow visibility
Competitor tracking: monitor @openclaw and related accounts
Telegram approval workflow: route all mention replies through human confirmation

What This Skill Does Not Cover

Sending DMs (requires additional OAuth scope not currently enabled)
Deleting tweets (requires explicit human authorization per tweet)
Deep analytics (follower growth trends, engagement rate analysis)
Posting images or videos (text-only)
Accessing private or protected accounts
Publishing skills to ClawHub (use skill-manager for that)

Commands

draft

Generate 3 tweet drafts for the day using xAI trend analysis. Saves to /tmp/x-drafts-YYYY-MM-DD.json.

bash scripts/script.sh draft

post

Post a tweet from today's saved drafts. Use --index to select which draft (0=first, 1=second, 2=third).

bash scripts/script.sh post --index 0
bash scripts/script.sh post --index 1
bash scripts/script.sh post --index 2

monitor

Run brand and competitor monitoring report. Tracks @bytesagain mentions, @openclaw activity, and AI skill trends. Sends Telegram report with Chinese summary.

bash scripts/script.sh monitor

like

Auto-like recent tweets matching AI agent / skill keywords. Skips own tweets and already-liked posts.

bash scripts/script.sh like

scan-mentions

Scan recent @bytesagain mentions, draft replies via xAI, and send Telegram approval requests to operator.

bash scripts/script.sh scan-mentions

send-reply

Send a pre-approved reply to one or more tweets. Multiple IDs are staggered 30–90 seconds apart to appear natural.

bash scripts/script.sh send-reply <tweet_id>
bash scripts/script.sh send-reply <tweet_id1> <tweet_id2> <tweet_id3>

status

Show pending approval queue and today's saved drafts.

bash scripts/script.sh status

Approval Workflow

scan-mentions detects new @bytesagain mentions
xAI drafts a reply for each mention
Telegram message sent to operator: original tweet + draft reply + tweet ID
Operator replies 发 <tweet_id> to approve, 跳过 <tweet_id> to skip
Agent calls send-reply <tweet_id> to post the approved reply

Validation Rules (pre-post checks)

All tweets are validated before posting:

Check	Result
Link in tweet body	❌ Blocked (X penalizes -40%)
More than 2 hashtags	❌ Blocked
Specific large numbers (e.g. 10000, 500K)	❌ Blocked (may be inaccurate)
Banned words (guaranteed, make money…)	❌ Blocked
No question mark	⚠️ Warning only
Tweet under 50 characters	⚠️ Warning only

Blocked tweets trigger a Telegram notification with the reason. Fallback preset templates are used if xAI times out.
