xint-rs

What This Skill Does

xint-rs is a high-performance, Rust-based CLI tool designed to turn your terminal into a powerful X (Twitter) intelligence hub. It provides an efficient interface for searching, analyzing, and engaging with content on X without needing to navigate the web browser interface. The tool leverages direct API integration to fetch real-time data, perform sentiment analysis via Grok AI, and manage complex tasks like tracking follower changes or generating intelligence reports. By acting as a thin, pipe-friendly wrapper, it enables users to integrate real-time social data into their local development workflows, shell scripts, or data pipelines.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw CLI management system. Execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/0xnyk/xint-rs

Ensure you have your environment variables set before the first run. You will need a valid X_BEARER_TOKEN for standard read operations and an XAI_API_KEY if you intend to use the advanced AI-powered analysis features. Run xint auth setup once to initialize OAuth credentials for personal account features like bookmarks and likes.

Use Cases

• Market Intelligence: Quickly survey public sentiment on a specific cryptocurrency, tech stock, or industry trend.
• Real-time Monitoring: Use the watch command to keep a pulse on specific keywords or hashtags, outputting results directly to your console.
• Growth Analytics: Utilize the diff command to track changes in follower counts or account status over time.
• Research Automation: Generate summarized intelligence reports on complex topics by aggregating search results and running them through AI analysis.
• Content Curation: Organize and manage collections of tweets for later review or export, maintaining data ownership locally through CSV or JSON exports.

Example Prompts

1. "X research: What are people saying about the latest release of Rust 1.80?"
2. "Search X for AI-agent trends and generate a brief intelligence report."
3. "Watch for mentions of my project name and output any high-sentiment tweets to my terminal."

Tips & Limitations

• Security: Always store your API keys in a local .env file and ensure it is included in your .gitignore to prevent accidental exposure of your credentials.
• Permissions: The tool writes cached data and OAuth tokens to a data/ directory. Keep this directory secure with restrictive file permissions (chmod 600).
• Scope: Note that this skill is strictly for read-access and intelligence gathering. It does not support posting tweets, sending DMs, or other administrative enterprise features. Treat all data exported from the tool as potential PII, especially when handling search results or user lists.
