Twitter Operations

What This Skill Does

The Twitter Operations skill provides a professional-grade interface for OpenClaw agents to manage and automate X (formerly Twitter) platform activity. It serves as a comprehensive bridge between the OpenClaw ecosystem and the Twitter API v2, enabling agents to execute complex social media workflows without manual intervention. The skill handles authentication, rate limiting, and tweet lifecycle management, allowing for everything from simple automated posts and engagement monitoring to complex data gathering and community management tasks. It supports advanced features such as sentiment analysis, media handling, and bulk account operations.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed and run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/millymilton/twitter-operations

Once installed, you must configure your API credentials by placing your OAuth 2.0 tokens in the designated JSON file located at ~/.openclaw/twitter_credentials.json to enable secure access to your X developer account.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for community managers, content creators, and researchers. Common use cases include:

• Automating daily content schedules across multiple accounts.
• Real-time monitoring of brand mentions or specific hashtags to maintain reputation.
• Analyzing engagement metrics to determine optimal posting times and content effectiveness.
• Performing market research by scraping keyword-based trends and sentiment data.
• Managing growth through automated follow/unfollow logic based on specified criteria.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current sentiment for #OpenClaw and draft a summary report of the top 5 tweets mentioning us today."
2. "Schedule a thread of 3 tweets about our new product launch for 9 AM, 12 PM, and 3 PM EST tomorrow, and attach the image from my desktop folder."
3. "Find and reply to the last 10 mentions of my account with a polite message thanking them for their feedback."

Tips & Limitations

To ensure optimal performance, the skill is configured to operate in a 'conservative' rate-limit mode to prevent API suspension. When performing bulk operations, always utilize the configured retry attempts. Be mindful that media uploads are restricted to 5MB per file. The skill performs best when given clear, specific instructions rather than vague directives. Note that excessive automated activity may trigger Twitter's anti-bot detection; monitor your logs in ~/.openclaw/logs/twitter.log regularly to catch any API errors early.
