πŸ“– About This Skill


name: x_management description: Draft-first X/Twitter account management workflow for OpenClaw. Use when the user wants to read their X account context, draft tweets, replies, quote tweets, or threads, and keep every write action gated behind explicit approval. Use with the OpenClaw X plugin when managing a personal X account safely.

X Management

Use the X plugin as a draft-first system, not an autonomous posting engine.

Core operating rule

Never treat a generated tweet/reply/quote as ready to publish by default. Always: 1. gather context first when relevant 2. create a draft 3. show the draft clearly 4. require explicit user approval 5. only publish if approval has been captured through the plugin flow

Current real plugin capabilities

Working now:
  • x_account_connect
  • x_account_auth_url
  • x_account_complete
  • x_account_me
  • x_timeline_me
  • x_timeline_mentions
  • x_post_get
  • x_post_context
  • x_post_create
  • x_post_reply
  • x_post_quote
  • x_post_thread
  • x_post_approve
  • x_post_publish for approved single posts and approved thread drafts
  • x_media_upload
  • x_util_resolve_url
  • Still partial:

  • engagement actions
  • deeper thread expansion beyond immediate referenced context
  • packaged-runtime validation should still be treated as an active release-quality concern when new plugin versions ship
  • Use the plugin surface this way

    Reading context

    Prefer read actions before drafting whenever the content depends on an external post or thread. Use:
  • x_util_resolve_url to normalize a target post URL
  • x_post_get for a single post with normalized output
  • x_post_context for a post plus immediate referenced context
  • x_timeline_mentions when deciding whether/how to reply
  • x_timeline_me when recent account voice/context matters
  • Drafting

    Use:
  • x_post_create for a normal tweet
  • x_post_reply for a reply
  • x_post_quote for a quote tweet
  • x_post_thread for multi-post threads
  • Treat returned draftId as the durable handle for follow-up approval/publish steps. For threads, keep each post concise and make sure the full sequence is approved before publishing.

    Approval and publish

    Use x_post_approve only after the user has explicitly approved the exact draft. Then use x_post_publish only for the approved draft id. x_post_publish can now publish approved single posts, replies, quotes, and thread drafts. Do not mutate draft text between approval and publish.

    Drafting heuristics

    For replies

    Before drafting a reply:
  • inspect the target post
  • inspect immediate referenced context when available
  • inspect your recent voice if tone consistency matters
  • avoid replying to a hallucinated interpretation of the post
  • keep factual claims anchored to what is actually visible
  • For quote tweets

    A quote tweet should add something:
  • analysis
  • framing
  • disagreement
  • emphasis
  • synthesis
  • Do not produce empty applause unless the user wants that tone.

    For tweets

    When the user does not specify tone, prefer concise, high-signal writing over bloated threadbait. Offer 2-3 options when tone uncertainty is real.

    Safety boundaries

  • do not publish automatically
  • do not assume approval from conversational enthusiasm
  • do not like/repost/bookmark autonomously unless the user explicitly asks
  • do not DM from this workflow
  • if publish or read capabilities fail, explain the actual failure clearly
  • Current architectural split

  • plugin = auth, reads, drafts, approval state, publish primitive
  • agent/skill = judgment, research, tone, decision-making, proposing options
  • That is the intended shape for Prince’s eventual dedicated X-managing agent.
