xurl — Agent Skill Reference

xurl is a CLI tool for the X API. It supports both shortcut commands (human/agent‑friendly one‑liners) and raw curl‑style access to any v2 endpoint. All commands return JSON to stdout.

Installation

Homebrew (macOS)

bash

brew install --cask xdevplatform/tap/xurl

npm

bash

npm install -g @xdevplatform/xurl

Shell script

bash

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bash

Installs to ~/.local/bin. If it's not in your PATH, the script will tell you what to add.

Go

bash

go install github.com/xdevplatform/xurl@latest

Prerequisites

This skill requires the xurl CLI utility: <https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl>.

Before using any command you must be authenticated. Run xurl auth status to check.

Secret Safety (Mandatory)

Never read, print, parse, summarize, upload, or send ~/.xurl (or copies of it) to the LLM context.
Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into chat.
The user must fill ~/.xurl with required secrets manually on their own machine.
Do not recommend or execute auth commands with inline secrets in agent/LLM sessions.
Warn that using CLI secret options in agent sessions can leak credentials (prompt/context, logs, shell history).
Never use --verbose / -v in agent/LLM sessions; it can expose sensitive headers/tokens in output.
Sensitive flags that must never be used in agent commands: --bearer-token, --consumer-key, --consumer-secret, --access-token, --token-secret, --client-id, --client-secret.
To verify whether at least one app with credentials is already registered, run: xurl auth status.

Register an app (recommended)

App credential registration must be done manually by the user outside the agent/LLM session. After credentials are registered, authenticate with:

bash

xurl auth oauth2

For multiple pre-configured apps, switch between them:

bash

xurl auth default prod-app          # set default app
xurl auth default prod-app alice    # set default app + user
xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me      # one-off override

Other auth methods

Examples with inline secret flags are intentionally omitted. If OAuth1 or app-only auth is needed, the user must run those commands manually outside agent/LLM context.

Tokens are persisted to ~/.xurl in YAML format. Each app has its own isolated tokens. Do not read this file through the agent/LLM. Once authenticated, every command below will auto‑attach the right Authorization header.

Post IDs vs URLs: Anywhere POST_ID appears above you can also paste a full post URL (e.g. https://x.com/user/status/1234567890) — xurl extracts the ID automatically.

Usernames: Leading @ is optional. @elonmusk and elonmusk both work.

Global Flags

These flags work on every command:

Flag	Short	Description
`--app`		Use a specific registered app for this request (overrides default)
`--auth`		Force auth type: `oauth1`, `oauth2`, or `app`
`--username`	`-u`	Which OAuth2 account to use (if you have multiple)
`--verbose`	`-v`	Forbidden in agent/LLM sessions (can leak auth headers/tokens)
`--trace`	`-t`	Add `X-B3-Flags: 1` trace header

Raw API Access

The shortcut commands cover the most common operations. For anything else, use xurl's raw curl‑style mode — it works with any X API v2 endpoint:

bash

# GET request (default)
xurl /2/users/me
 
# POST with JSON body
xurl -X POST /2/tweets -d '{"text":"Hello world!"}'
 
# PUT, PATCH, DELETE
xurl -X DELETE /2/tweets/1234567890
 
# Custom headers
xurl -H "Content-Type: application/json" /2/some/endpoint
 
# Force streaming mode
xurl -s /2/tweets/search/stream
 
# Full URLs also work
xurl https://api.x.com/2/users/me

Streaming

Streaming endpoints are auto‑detected. Known streaming endpoints include:

/2/tweets/search/stream
/2/tweets/sample/stream
/2/tweets/sample10/stream

You can force streaming on any endpoint with -s:

bash

xurl -s /2/some/endpoint

Output Format

All commands return JSON to stdout, pretty‑printed with syntax highlighting. The output structure matches the X API v2 response format. A typical response looks like:

json

{
  "data": {
    "id": "1234567890",
    "text": "Hello world!"
  }
}

Errors are also returned as JSON:

json

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Not authorized",
      "code": 403
    }
  ]
}

Common Workflows

Post with an image

bash

# 1. Upload the image
xurl media upload photo.jpg
# 2. Copy the media_id from the response, then post
xurl post "Check out this photo!" --media-id MEDIA_ID

Reply to a conversation

bash

# 1. Read the post to understand context
xurl read https://x.com/user/status/1234567890
# 2. Reply
xurl reply 1234567890 "Here are my thoughts..."

Search and engage

bash

# 1. Search for relevant posts
xurl search "topic of interest" -n 10
# 2. Like an interesting one
xurl like POST_ID_FROM_RESULTS
# 3. Reply to it
