Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# X to Markdown Converts X content to markdown: - Tweets/threads → Markdown with YAML front matter - X Articles → Full content extraction ## User Input Tools When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order): 1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent. 2. **Fallback**: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question. 3. **Batching**: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order. Concrete `AskUserQuestion` references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes. ## Script Directory Scripts located in `scripts/` subdirectory. **Path Resolution**: 1. `{baseDir}` = this SKILL.md's directory 2. Script path = `{baseDir}/scripts/main.ts` 3. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun ## Consent Requirement **Before any conversion*

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add JimLiu/baoyu-skills --skill baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From JimLiu/baoyu-skills, a repository with 24,562 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
