What This Skill Does
Automates posting to X (Twitter) using browser control instead of the X API. Scrapes trending topics, generates tweet ideas via AI, and posts through an approval queue workflow. No API subscription required.
Avoids the $200/month X API Basic tier by driving a real browser session instead, making read-and-post workflows free.
When to use it
- Scheduling daily tweets around crypto and Web3 trends
- Reviewing AI-generated tweet drafts before they go live
- Scraping trending topics to inform content planning
- Setting up a recurring cron job for hands-off tweet queuing
- Posting a single tweet directly without touching the X website
