2X Post to X

Post a draft to X/Twitter via browser. Read local file, post, record via client.

Inputs

• session_number: which session folder to read from

Step 1: Read Draft

cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-sessions/{session_number}/drafts/x.md

This file is always fresh — sync daemon pulls any web UI edits. If file doesn't exist, stop and tell orchestrator "No X draft found."

Step 2: Check for Thread

If content contains [1/ markers → thread mode, split into parts. If ≤ 280 chars with no markers → single tweet.

Step 3: Post via Browser

Single Tweet

1. browser open "https://x.com/compose/post"
2. Wait 2 seconds
3. browser snapshot --interactive
4. Find compose text area (role "textbox" or main contenteditable)
5. browser type <ref> "{content}"
6. Wait 1 second
7. browser snapshot --interactive
8. Find "Post" button → browser click <ref>
9. Wait 3 seconds
10. browser snapshot → verify compose closed

Thread

1. Type first part in compose area
2. Click "+" button to add next tweet
3. Wait 1 second, browser snapshot --interactive
4. Find new compose area, type next part
5. Repeat for all parts
6. Click "Post all"
7. Wait 3 seconds, snapshot, verify

Extract Posted URL

After posting, the URL should redirect to the posted tweet:

• Format: https://x.com/{username}/status/{post_id}
• Extract {post_id} as the platform_post_id

If URL not in redirect, try navigating to profile to grab latest tweet URL.

Step 4: Record

SESSION_UUID=$(cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-sessions/{session_number}/.supabase_session_id)
 
node ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/2x/db/client.js publish-draft \
  --session "$SESSION_UUID" \
  --platform x \
  --platform-post-id "{extracted_post_id}" \
  --posted-url "{extracted_url}"

Also append to local log:

echo '{"platform":"x","post_id":"{post_id}","url":"{url}","posted_at":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'","session":{session_number}}' \
  >> ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-posted.jsonl

Step 5: Return

✅ Posted to X: {url}

Or: ❌ X posting failed: {reason}

Error Handling

• Compose page doesn't load → check if logged in. If not: "Not logged into X."
• Post button not found → snapshot, try alternative selectors. X changes DOM often.
• NEVER retry automatically. Report failure, let orchestrator decide.

Rate Limits

• Max ~15 posts+replies/day, 2-3/hour
• Check recent posts:

grep '"platform":"x"' ~/.openclaw/workspace/2x-posted.jsonl | tail -3
