Skill: 0xnyk/xint (version 2026.2.26)

--- name: xint description: > X Intelligence CLI — search, analyze, and engage on X/Twitter from the terminal. Use when: (1) user says "x research", "search x for", "search twitter for", "what are people saying about", "what's twitter saying", "check x for", "x search", "search x", "find tweets about", "monitor x for", "track followers", (2) user is working on something where recent X discourse would provide useful context (new library releases, API changes, product launches, cultural events, industry drama), (3) user wants to find what devs/experts/community thinks about a topic, (4) user needs real-time monitoring ("watch"), (5) user wants AI-powered analysis ("analyze", "sentiment", "report"), (6) user wants to sync bookmarks to Obsidian ("sync bookmarks", "capture bookmarks", "bookmark research", "save my bookmarks to obsidian"). Also supports: bookmarks, likes, following (read/write), trending topics, Grok AI analysis, and cost tracking. Export as JSON, JSONL (pipeable), CSV, or Markdown. Non-goals: Not for posting tweets, not for DMs, not for enterprise features. Requires OAuth for user-context operations (bookmarks, likes, following, diff). credentials: - name: X_BEARER_TOKEN description: X API v2 bearer token for search, profile, thread, tweet, trends required: true - name: XAI_API_KEY description: xAI API key for Grok analysis, article fetching, sentiment, x-search, collections required: false - name: XAI_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY description: xAI Management API key for collections management required: false - name: X_CLIENT_ID description: X OAuth 2.0 client ID for user-context operations (bookmarks, likes, following, diff) required: false required_env_vars: - X_BEARER_TOKEN primary_credential: X_BEARER_TOKEN security: always: false autonomous: false local_data_dir: data/ network_endpoints: - https://api.x.com - https://x.com - https://api.x.ai --- # xint — X Intelligence CLI General-purpose agentic research over X/Twitter. Decompose any research question into targeted searches, iteratively refine, follow threads, deep-dive linked content, and synthesize into a sourced briefing. For X API details (endpoints, operators, response format): read `references/x-api.md`. ## Security Considerations This skill requires sensitive credentials. Follow these guidelines: ### Credentials - **X_BEARER_TOKEN**: Required for X API. Treat as a secret - prefer exported environment variables (optional project-local `.env`) - **XAI_API_KEY**: Optional, needed for AI analysis. Also a secret - **X_CLIENT_ID**: Optional, needed for OAuth. Less sensitive but don't expose publicly - **XAI_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY**: Optional, for collections management ### File Writes - This skill writes to its own `data/` directory: cache, exports, snapshots, OAuth tokens - OAuth tokens stored with restrictive permissions (chmod 600) - Review exported data before sharing - may contain sensitive search queries ### Webhooks - `watch` and `stream` can send data to webhook endpoints - Remote endpoints must use `https://` (`http://` is accepted only for localhost/loopback) - Optional host allowlist: `XINT_WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_HOSTS=hooks.example.com,*.internal.example` - Avoid sending sensitive search queries or token-bearing URLs to third-party destinations ### Runtime Notes - This file documents usage and safety controls for the CLI only. - Network listeners are opt-in (`mcp --sse`) and disabled by default - Webhook delivery is opt-in (`--webhook`) and disabled by default ### Installation - For Bun: prefer OS package managers over `curl | bash` when possible - Verify any installer scripts before running ### MCP Server (Optional) - `bun run xint.ts mcp` starts a local MCP server exposing xint commands as tools - Default mode is stdio/local integration; no inbound web server unless `--sse` is explicitly enabled - Respect `--policy read_only|engagement|moderation` and budget guardrails ## CLI Tool All commands run from the project directory: ```bash # Set your environment variables export X_BEARER_TOKEN="your-token" ``` ### Search ```bash bun run xint.ts search "<query>" [options] ``` **Options:** - `--sort likes|impressions|retweets|recent` — sort order (default: likes) - `--since 1h|3h|12h|1d|7d` — time filter (default: last 7 days). Also accepts minutes (`30m`) or ISO timestamps. - `--min-likes N` — filter by minimum likes - `--min-impressions N` — filter by minimum impressions - `--pages N` — pages to fetch, 1-5 (default: 1, 100 tweets/page) - `--limit N` — max results to display (default: 15) - `--quick` — quick mode: 1 page, max 10 results, auto noise filter, 1hr cache, cost summary - `--from <username>` — shorthand for `from:username` in query - `--quality` — filter low-engagement tweets (>=10 likes, post-hoc) - `--no-replies` — exclude replies - `--sentiment` — AI-powered per-tweet sentiment analysis (via Grok). Shows positive/negative/neutral/mixed with scores. - `--save` — save results to `data/exports/` - `--json` — raw JSON output - `--jsonl` — one JSON object per line (optimized for Unix pipes: `| jq`, `| tee`) - `--csv` — CSV output for spreadsheet analysis - `--markdown` — markdown output for research docs Auto-adds `-is:retweet` unless query already includes it. All searches display estimated API cost. **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts search "AI agents" --sort likes --limit 10 bun run xint.ts search "from:elonmusk" --sort recent bun run xint.ts search "(opus 4.6 OR claude) trading" --pages 2 --save bun run xint.ts search "$BTC (revenue OR fees)" --min-likes 5 bun run xint.ts search "AI agents" --quick bun run xint.ts search "AI agents" --quality --quick bun run xint.ts search "solana memecoins" --sentiment --limit 20 bun run xint.ts search "startup funding" --csv > funding.csv bun run xint.ts search "AI" --jsonl | jq 'select(.metrics.likes > 100)' ``` ### Profile ```bash bun run xint.ts profile <username> [--count N] [--replies] [--json] ``` Fetches recent tweets from a specific user (excludes replies by default). ### Thread ```bash bun run xint.ts thread <tweet_id> [--pages N] ``` Fetches full conversation thread by root tweet ID. ### Single Tweet ```bash bun run xint.ts tweet <tweet_id> [--json] ``` ### Article (Full Content Fetcher) ```bash bun run xint.ts article <url> [--json] [--full] [--ai <text>] ``` Fetches and extracts full article content from any URL using xAI's web_search tool (Grok reads the page). Returns clean text with title, author, date, and word count. Requires `XAI_API_KEY`. Also supports X tweet URLs — automatically extracts the linked article from the tweet and fetches it. **Options:** - `--json` — structured JSON output (title, content, author, published, wordCount, ttr) - `--full` — return full article text without truncation (default truncates to ~5000 chars) - `--model <name>` — Grok model (default: grok-4) - `--ai <text>` — analyze article with Grok AI (passes content to analyze command) **Examples:** ```bash # Fetch article from URL bun run xint.ts article https://example.com/blog/post # Auto-extract article from X tweet URL and analyze bun run xint.ts article "https://x.com/user/status/123456789" --ai "Summarize key takeaways" # Fetch + analyze with AI bun run xint.ts article https://techcrunch.com/article --ai "What are the main points?" # Full content without truncation bun run xint.ts article https://blog.example.com/deep-dive --full ``` **Agent usage:** When search results include tweets with article links, use `article` to read the full content. Search results now include article titles and descriptions from the X API (shown as `📰` lines), so you can decide which articles are worth a full read. Prioritize articles that: - Multiple tweets reference - Come from high-engagement tweets - Have relevant titles/descriptions from the API metadata ### Bookmarks ```bash bun run xint.ts bookmarks [options] # List bookmarked tweets bun run xint.ts bookmark <tweet_id> # Bookmark a tweet bun run xint.ts unbookmark <tweet_id> # Remove a bookmark ``` **Bookmark list options:** - `--limit N` — max bookmarks to display (default: 20) - `--since <dur>` — filter by recency (1h, 1d, 7d, etc.) - `--query <text>` — client-side text filter - `--json` — raw JSON output - `--markdown` — markdown output - `--save` — save to data/exports/ - `--no-cache` — skip cache Requires OAuth. Run `auth setup` first. ### Likes ```bash bun run xint.ts likes [options] # List your liked tweets bun run xint.ts like <tweet_id> # Like a tweet bun run xint.ts unlike <tweet_id> # Unlike a tweet ``` **Likes list options:** Same as bookmarks (`--limit`, `--since`, `--query`, `--json`, `--no-cache`). Requires OAuth with `like.read` and `like.write` scopes. ### Following ```bash bun run xint.ts following [username] [--limit N] [--json] ``` Lists accounts you (or another user) follow. Defaults to the authenticated user. Requires OAuth with `follows.read` scope. ### Trends ```bash bun run xint.ts trends [location] [options] ``` Fetches trending topics. Tries the official X API trends endpoint first; falls back to search-based hashtag frequency estimation if unavailable. **Options:** - `[location]` — location name or WOEID number (default: worldwide) - `--limit N` — number of trends to display (default: 20) - `--json` — raw JSON output - `--no-cache` — bypass the 15-minute cache - `--locations` — list all known location names **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts trends # Worldwide bun run xint.ts trends us --limit 10 # US top 10 bun run xint.ts trends japan --json # Japan, JSON output bun run xint.ts trends --locations # List all locations ``` ### Analyze (Grok AI) ```bash bun run xint.ts analyze "<query>" # Ask Grok a question bun run xint.ts analyze --tweets <file> # Analyze tweets from JSON file bun run xint.ts search "topic" --json | bun run xint.ts analyze --pipe # Pipe search results ``` Uses xAI's Grok API (OpenAI-compatible). Requires `XAI_API_KEY` in env or `.env`. **Options:** - `--model <name>` — grok-4, grok-4-1-fast (default), grok-3, grok-3-mini, grok-2 - `--tweets <file>` — path to JSON file containing tweets - `--pipe` — read tweet JSON from stdin **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts analyze "What are the top AI agent frameworks right now?" bun run xint.ts search "AI agents" --json | bun run xint.ts analyze --pipe "Which show product launches?" bun run xint.ts analyze --model grok-3 "Deep analysis of crypto market sentiment" ``` ## xAI X Search (No Cookies/GraphQL) For “recent sentiment / what X is saying” without using cookies/GraphQL, use xAI’s hosted `x_search` tool. Script: ```bash python3 scripts/xai_x_search_scan.py --help ``` ## xAI Collections Knowledge Base (Files + Collections) Store first-party artifacts (reports, logs) in xAI Collections and semantic-search them later. Script: ```bash python3 scripts/xai_collections.py --help ``` Env: - `XAI_API_KEY` (api.x.ai): file upload + search - `XAI_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY` (management-api.x.ai): collections management + attaching documents Notes: - Never print keys. - Prefer `--dry-run` when wiring new cron jobs. ### Reposts ```bash bun run xint.ts reposts <tweet_id> [--limit N] [--json] ``` Look up users who reposted a specific tweet. Useful for engagement analysis and OSINT. **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts reposts 1234567890 bun run xint.ts reposts 1234567890 --limit 50 --json ``` ### User Search ```bash bun run xint.ts users "<query>" [--limit N] [--json] ``` Search for X users by keyword. Uses the `/2/users/search` endpoint. **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts users "AI researcher" bun run xint.ts users "solana developer" --limit 10 --json ``` ### Watch (Real-Time Monitoring) ```bash bun run xint.ts watch "<query>" [options] ``` Polls a search query on an interval, shows only new tweets. Great for monitoring topics during catalysts, tracking mentions, or feeding live data into downstream tools. **Options:** - `--interval <dur>` / `-i` — poll interval: `30s`, `1m`, `5m`, `15m` (default: 5m) - `--webhook <url>` — POST new tweets as JSON to this URL (`https://` required for remote hosts) - `--jsonl` — output as JSONL instead of formatted text (for piping to `tee`, `jq`, etc.) - `--quiet` — suppress per-poll headers (just show tweets) - `--limit N` — max tweets to show per poll - `--sort likes|impressions|retweets|recent` — sort order Press `Ctrl+C` to stop — prints session stats (duration, total polls, new tweets found, total cost). **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts watch "solana memecoins" --interval 5m bun run xint.ts watch "@vitalikbuterin" --interval 1m bun run xint.ts watch "AI agents" -i 30s --webhook https://hooks.example.com/ingest bun run xint.ts watch "breaking news" --jsonl | tee -a feed.jsonl ``` **Agent usage:** Use `watch` when you need continuous monitoring of a topic. For one-off checks, use `search` instead. The watch command auto-stops if the daily budget is exceeded. ### Diff (Follower Tracking) ```bash bun run xint.ts diff <@username> [options] ``` Tracks follower/following changes over time using local snapshots. First run creates a baseline; subsequent runs show who followed/unfollowed since last check. **Options:** - `--following` — track who the user follows (instead of their followers) - `--history` — view all saved snapshots for this user - `--json` — structured JSON output - `--pages N` — pages of followers to fetch (default: 5, 1000 per page) Requires OAuth (`auth setup` first). Snapshots stored in `data/snapshots/`. **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts diff @vitalikbuterin # First run: create snapshot bun run xint.ts diff @vitalikbuterin # Later: show changes bun run xint.ts diff @0xNyk --following # Track who you follow bun run xint.ts diff @solana --history # View snapshot history ``` **Agent usage:** Use `diff` to detect notable follower changes for monitored accounts. Combine with `watch` for comprehensive account monitoring. Run periodically (e.g., daily) to build a history of follower changes. ### Report (Intelligence Reports) ```bash bun run xint.ts report "<topic>" [options] ``` Generates comprehensive markdown intelligence reports combining search results, optional sentiment analysis, and AI-powered summary via Grok. **Options:** - `--sentiment` — include per-tweet sentiment analysis - `--accounts @user1,@user2` — include per-account activity sections - `--model <name>` — Grok model for AI summary (default: grok-4-1-fast) - `--pages N` — search pages to fetch (default: 2) - `--save` — save report to `data/exports/` **Examples:** ```bash bun run xint.ts report "AI agents" bun run xint.ts report "solana" --sentiment --accounts @aaboronkov,@rajgokal --save bun run xint.ts report "crypto market" --model grok-3 --sentiment --save ``` **Agent usage:** Use `report` when the user wants a comprehensive briefing on a topic. This is the highest-level command — it runs search, sentiment, and analysis in one pass and produces a structured markdown report. For quick pulse checks, use `search --quick` instead. ### Costs ```bash bun run xint.ts costs # Today's costs bun run xint.ts costs week # Last 7 days bun run xint.ts costs month # Last 30 days bun run xint.ts costs all # All time bun run xint.ts costs budget # Show budget info bun run xint.ts costs budget set 2.00 # Set daily limit to $2 bun run xint.ts costs reset # Reset today's data ``` Tracks per-call API costs with daily aggregates and configurable budget limits. ### Watchlist ```bash bun run xint.ts watchlist # Show all bun run xint.ts watchlist add <user> [note] # Add account bun run xint.ts watchlist remove <user> # Remove account bun run xint.ts watchlist check # Check recent from all ``` ### Auth ```bash bun run xint.ts auth setup [--manual] # Set up OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) bun run xint.ts auth status # Check token status bun run xint.ts auth refresh # Manually refresh tokens ``` Required scopes: `bookmark.read bookmark.write tweet.read users.read like.read like.write follows.read offline.access` ### Cache ```bash bun run xint.ts cache clear # Clear all cached results ``` 15-minute TTL. Avoids re-fetching identical queries. ## Research Loop (Agentic) When doing deep research (not just a quick search), follow this loop: ### 1. Decompose the Question into Queries Turn the research question into 3-5 keyword queries using X search operators: - **Core query**: Direct keywords for the topic - **Expert voices**: `from:` specific known experts - **Pain points**: Keywords like `(broken OR bug OR issue OR migration)` - **Positive signal**: Keywords like `(shipped OR love OR fast OR benchmark)` - **Links**: `url:github.com` or `url:` specific domains - **Noise reduction**: `-is:retweet` (auto-added), add `-is:reply` if needed ### 2. Search and Extract Run each query via CLI. After each, assess: - Signal or noise? Adjust operators. - Key voices worth searching `from:` specifically? - Threads worth following via `thread` command? - Linked resources worth deep-diving? ### 3. Follow Threads When a tweet has high engagement or is a thread starter: ```bash bun run xint.ts thread <tweet_id> ``` ### 4. Deep-Dive Linked Content Search results now include article titles and descriptions from the X API (shown as `📰` in output). Use these to decide which links are worth a full read, then fetch with `xint article`: ```bash bun run xint.ts article <url> # terminal display bun run xint.ts article <url> --json # structured output bun run xint.ts article <url> --full # no truncation ``` Prioritize links that: - Multiple tweets reference - Come from high-engagement tweets - Have titles/descriptions suggesting depth (not just link aggregators) - Point to technical resources directly relevant to the question ### 5. Analyze with Grok For complex research, pipe search results into Grok for synthesis: ```bash bun run xint.ts search "topic" --json | bun run xint.ts analyze --pipe "Summarize themes and sentiment" ``` ### 6. Synthesize Group findings by theme, not by query: ``` ### [Theme/Finding Title] [1-2 sentence summary] - @username: "[key quote]" (NL, NI) [Tweet](url) - @username2: "[another perspective]" (NL, NI) [Tweet](url) Resources shared: - [Resource title](url) — [what it is] ``` ### 7. Save Use `--save` flag to save to `data/exports/`. ## Obsidian Bookmark Sync (Optional) > Only activate when user explicitly asks to sync bookmarks to Obsidian (e.g., "sync bookmarks", "capture bookmarks", "bookmark research", "save my bookmarks to obsidian"). Fetches recent X bookmarks, analyzes article content, and saves as structured research notes in the Obsidian inbox. Requires OAuth + Obsidian vault path (`~/obsidian/nyk/inbox/`). ### Pipeline **Step 1 — Fetch bookmarks:** ```bash xint bookmarks --limit {count} --json --policy engagement {--since flag if provided} {--query flag if provided} ``` Parse JSON output. Each bookmark has: id, text, username, name, created_at, metrics, urls, tweet_url. **Step 2 — Classify:** For each bookmark, determine type: - **article**: Contains X article URL (`x.com/i/article/...`) or thread with 3+ linked tweets - **thread**: Multi-tweet thread (conversation_id, reply chains) - **standalone**: Single tweet with insight/opinion/announcement - **link**: Tweet primarily sharing an external URL **Step 3 — Analyze content:** - For **article**/**thread**: Use Agent tool (subagent_type: "general-purpose") to fetch + analyze full content — run analyses in parallel (one agent per article) - For **standalone**/**link**: Analyze directly from tweet text + WebFetch for external links **Step 4 — Deduplicate:** Before creating files, check for existing notes: ```bash grep -rl "{tweet_id}" ~/obsidian/nyk/inbox/ 2>/dev/null ``` Skip bookmarks that already have notes. **Step 5 — Generate research notes** at `~/obsidian/nyk/inbox/research-{slug}.md`: ```yaml --- id: research-{slug} created: {today's date} type: research status: inbox tags: [{auto-detected tags}] source: x-bookmarks tweet_id: "{tweet_id}" description: {one-line summary} --- ``` Content sections: **Signal** (author, engagement, tweet URL) → **Core Thesis** → **Key Findings** (bullets) → **Why It Resonated** (engagement analysis) → **Actionable Takeaways** (checklist) → **Related** (wikilinks). Apply 2-4 tags per note. **Step 6 — Summary report:** Output a table of processed bookmarks (author, topic, engagement, file), counts of new/skipped/total. ### Tag Detection Rules | Content Pattern | Tags | |----------------|------| | AI agents, deployment, orchestration | `ai-agents`, `agent-deployment` | | Enterprise, SaaS, business | `enterprise`, `business-strategy` | | Trading, quant, markets, DeFi | `quantitative-finance`, `prediction-markets` | | Claude, LLM, prompting | `ai-ml-research`, `llm-engineering` | | Security, hacking, CTF | `security-governance` | | Design, UI/UX, frontend | `design`, `frontend` | | Startup, growth, marketing | `startup`, `marketing` | | Coding, engineering, architecture | `software-engineering` | ### Sync Heuristics - Bookmark-to-like ratio >2:1 = reference material, >3:1 = textbook-grade - Articles with >1K bookmarks are almost always worth full analysis - Standalone tweets with <100 likes can still be high-signal if from domain experts - All notes go to `inbox/` — promotion to `knowledge/graph/` happens via knowledge-doctor pipeline - Use `[[wikilinks]]` for internal cross-references (never standard markdown links) ## Cost Management All API calls are tracked in `data/api-costs.json`. The budget system warns when approaching limits but does not block calls (passive). **X API v2 pay-per-use rates:** - Tweet reads (search, bookmarks, likes, profile): ~$0.005/tweet - Full-archive search: ~$0.01/tweet - Write operations (like, unlike, bookmark, unbookmark): ~$0.01/action - Profile lookups: ~$0.005/lookup - Follower/following lookups: ~$0.01/page - Trends: ~$0.10/request - User search: ~$0.01/page - Reposts lookup: ~$0.01/page - Grok AI (sentiment/analyze/report): billed by xAI separately (not X API) - grok-4-1-fast: $0.20/$0.50 per 1M tokens (default for analysis) - grok-4: $3.00/$15.00 per 1M tokens (used for article/x-search) - xAI tool invocations: max $5/1K calls (50% cheaper than 2025 rates) Default daily budget: $1.00 (adjustable via `costs budget set <N>`). ## Refinement Heuristics - **Too much noise?** Add `-is:reply`, use `--sort likes`, narrow keywords - **Too few results?** Broaden with `OR`, remove restrictive operators - **Crypto spam?** Add `-$ -airdrop -giveaway -whitelist` - **Expert takes only?** Use `from:` or `--min-likes 50` - **Substance over hot takes?** Search with `has:links` ## File Structure ``` xint/ ├── SKILL.md (this file — agent instructions) ├── xint.ts (CLI entry point) ├── lib/ │ ├── api.ts (X API wrapper: search, thread, profile, tweet) │ ├── article.ts (full article content fetcher via xAI web_search) │ ├── bookmarks.ts (bookmark read — OAuth) │ ├── cache.ts (file-based cache, 15min TTL) │ ├── costs.ts (API cost tracking & budget) │ ├── engagement.ts (likes, like/unlike, following, bookmark write — OAuth) │ ├── followers.ts (follower/following tracking + snapshot diffs) │ ├── format.ts (terminal, markdown, CSV, JSONL formatters) │ ├── grok.ts (xAI Grok analysis integration) │ ├── oauth.ts (OAuth 2.0 PKCE auth + token refresh) │ ├── reposts.ts (repost/retweet lookup) │ ├── report.ts (intelligence report generation) │ ├── sentiment.ts (AI-powered sentiment analysis via Grok) │ ├── trends.ts (trending topics — API + search fallback) │ ├── users.ts (user search by keyword) │ └── watch.ts (real-time monitoring with polling) ├── data/ │ ├── api-costs.json (cost tracking data) │ ├── oauth-tokens.json (OAuth tokens — chmod 600) │ ├── watchlist.json (accounts to monitor) │ ├── exports/ (saved research) │ ├── snapshots/ (follower/following snapshots for diff) │ └── cache/ (auto-managed) └── references/ └── x-api.md (X API endpoint reference) ``` ## Package API Tools The Package API provides agent memory package management: | Tool | Purpose | Auth | |------|---------|------| | `xint_package_create` | Create ingest job from topic query | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | | `xint_package_status` | Get package metadata + freshness | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | | `xint_package_query` | Query packages, return claims + citations | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | | `xint_package_refresh` | Trigger new snapshot | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | | `xint_package_search` | Search package catalog | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | | `xint_package_publish` | Publish to shared catalog | XINT_PACKAGE_API_KEY | **Workflow:** 1. `xint_package_create` -> creates package with topic query + sources 2. `xint_package_status` -> poll until status is "ready" 3. `xint_package_query` -> retrieve claims with citations 4. `xint_package_refresh` -> trigger re-ingest when data is stale 5. `xint_package_publish` -> share to catalog when quality is confirmed ## Agent Patterns ### Token Budget Awareness - Use `--quick` flag for initial discovery (1 page, 1hr cache, noise filter) - Use `--fields id,text,metrics.likes` to reduce response size - Prefer `xint_search` with `limit: 5` for quick checks - Use `xint_costs` to check budget before expensive operations ### Batch Operations - Search + profile in sequence, not parallel (rate limit: 350ms between requests) - Use `xint_watch` for polling instead of repeated searches - Combine `xint_report` for topic intelligence instead of multiple searches ### Context Window Management - `xint_search` with limit=15: ~3KB response - `xint_profile` with count=20: ~4KB response - `xint_article`: 1-10KB depending on article length - Bookmark sync pipeline: ~2-8KB per bookmark (depends on article analysis) - `xint_trends`: ~2KB response - Use `--fields` flag to reduce output to only needed fields ## Error Recovery Matrix | Error Code | Retryable | Agent Action | Example | |-----------|-----------|-------------|---------| | `RATE_LIMITED` | Yes | Wait `retry_after_ms`, then retry | 429 from X API | | `AUTH_FAILED` | No | Stop, report missing credential | Missing X_BEARER_TOKEN | | `NOT_FOUND` | No | Skip resource, try alternative | Deleted tweet | | `BUDGET_DENIED` | No | Stop, use `xint costs budget set N` | Daily limit exceeded | | `POLICY_DENIED` | No | Stop, escalate to user | Need --policy=engagement | | `VALIDATION_ERROR` | No | Fix parameter, retry | Invalid tweet_id format | | `TIMEOUT` | Yes | Retry after 5s | Network timeout | | `API_ERROR` | If 5xx | Retry after 30s for 5xx, stop for 4xx | X API outage | ## Fallback Chain When a tool fails, try the next option: 1. `xint_search` (X API v2, fast, real-time) 2. `xint_xsearch` (xAI Grok search via grok-4-1-fast, AI-enhanced, requires XAI_API_KEY) 3. Cached results from previous searches (15min TTL) For article fetching: 1. `xint_article` with tweet URL (extracts inline X Article) 2. `xint_article` with article URL (web fetch via grok-4) 3. `xint_search` for tweets about the topic For user discovery: 1. `xint_users` (search by keyword, new `/2/users/search` endpoint) 2. `xint_search` with `from:` operator for known usernames 3. `xint_reposts` to find engaged users on specific tweets
