browsex
X/Twitter CLI using OpenClaw browser tool. Use when the user wants to interact with X/Twitter: reading timeline, posting tweets, liking, retweeting, replying, or searching. Read-only browsing (profiles, tweets, search) works without login. Alternative to bird CLI for environments without Homebrew.
Why use this skill?
Automate X and Twitter interactions with the OpenClaw browsex skill. Browse, search, and post to your timeline directly from your AI agent terminal.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/coding-commits/browsexWhat This Skill Does
The browsex skill transforms your OpenClaw agent into a capable X (formerly Twitter) interface, acting as a browser-based CLI for interacting with the platform. Unlike traditional command-line interfaces that rely on complex, rate-limited APIs, browsex leverages OpenClaw's internal browser tool to interact with the web interface directly. This allows you to perform both passive tasks like reading timelines, searching trends, and viewing specific profiles or tweets, as well as active tasks like posting tweets, liking, or retweeting—provided you have authenticated your session.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/coding-commits/browsex
Ensure that you have the OpenClaw browser tool enabled and, if you are working on a headless server, confirm that Xvfb (virtual display) is installed to facilitate the browser session.
Use Cases
- Social Media Monitoring: Quickly capture content from specific profiles or search results without manual scrolling.
- Automation of Social Interactions: Efficiently handle repetitive tasks like liking or replying to updates within a specific niche.
- Content Curation: Aggregate data from the X timeline to feed into other OpenClaw workflows or data processing tasks.
- Headless Posting: Manage professional or personal brand presence from server-side environments where standard tools might be restricted.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, use browsex to find the latest tweets mentioning #OpenClaw and give me a summary of the top three posts."
- "Please go to x.com/myusername and post the following: 'I am automating my social media presence with OpenClaw!'"
- "Open the timeline for my account and like the most recent post by @OpenClaw_official."
Tips & Limitations
- Login Persistence: The tool works best when you authenticate once via the browser profile. Keep in mind that web-based interaction is subject to UI changes; if X updates its site design, the skill may need minor adjustments to locate UI elements.
- Rate Limiting: Because this simulates human browsing, you are subject to standard X browsing limits and login prompts. If you encounter a login modal, use the snapshot feature to identify and click the 'close' button.
- Environment: Always ensure you have sufficient resources allocated to the browser profile to maintain stability during active interactions.
