The instruction itself

3 sections, as written by the author

browse x

public content through x.pcstyle.dev. no X login needed. run the helper from this skill's directory:

bun scripts/browse-x.ts "https://x.com/handle/status/123"
bun scripts/browse-x.ts profile handle
bun scripts/browse-x.ts search "from:handle release"
bun scripts/browse-x.ts followers handle
bun scripts/browse-x.ts following handle

options

markdown by default. --json for structured output, --full for metadata, --compact for less. use --cursor with the returned cursor to continue. run bun scripts/browse-x.ts --help for thread, feed, and other options.

optional: X_MD_API_KEY sends a bearer key; X_API_BASE changes the host. never print the key. invalid or disabled keys return 401.

limits

public and keyed requests have different quotas. on 429 (exit 3), wait for the printed Retry-After; don't loop retries. exit 2 means bad arguments, exit 1 means another error. private or deleted content may be unavailable. check warnings; don't invent missing replies, media, or pinned posts.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take pc-style/browse-x from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
