Xurl — X/Twitter via xurl CLI: raw post search, posting, DM, media
Start with meaning, then move to detail.
This lesson explains Xurl — X/Twitter via xurl CLI: raw post search, posting, DM, media as part of operating Hermes with explicit security boundaries. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.
If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?
For practice, inspect the first example, identify its effects, run it on test data, and compare the result with the source claim.
For advanced readers, inspect Skill metadata, Reference: full SKILL.md, Secret Safety (MANDATORY), then verify failure modes and version compatibility.
You only need to know which files and accounts the agent may access.
A clear outcome before you read.
- Understand Xurl — X/Twitter via xurl CLI: raw post search, posting, DM, media without assumed prior knowledge.
- Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
- Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.
Short definitions before the details.
- Skill
- An instruction bundle that teaches Hermes a repeatable workflow without necessarily adding an external service.
