From the SKILL.md

# X — Tweets by URL > Any X URL (search, profile, single tweet, list) → normalized list of tweets matching that URL's timeline. ## Language All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language. ## Objective Accept any X URL as input, automatically detect which timeline endpoint it triggers, navigate to it, and return structured per-tweet data with pagination cursors. This unifies search, profile, single-tweet conversation, and list extraction under one entry point. ## Prerequisites - Active X session in the browser (left sidebar shows logged-in avatar / @handle). - Network capture is enabled in the browser-act session. ## Pre-execution Checks ### 1. Tool Readiness If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step. Invoke `browser-act` via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry. ### 2. Login Verification If login status for X has been confirmed in the current session → skip this step. Otherwise: open `https://x.com` and observe the left sidebar: - User avatar or @handle visible → logged in, continue - "Sign in" / "Log in" prompt vi

Where does this skill come from?

From browser-act/skills, a repository with 5,160 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.
