## Capabilities

- Composes regular X posts with text and up to four local images.
- Converts Markdown articles into HTML suitable for X Articles.
- Uploads cover images and content images through the X article editor.
- Runs Chrome with a persistent profile so users can log in once.
- Supports preview or draft mode by default, with explicit submit options.
- Copies image and HTML content to the system clipboard for browser paste workflows.

## Use Cases

- Publish campaign posts: Prepare text and image posts for launch announcements or marketing updates with preview before posting.
- Draft long-form articles: Convert Markdown drafts into X Articles and place cover or inline images into the editor.
- Automate social publishing tests: Validate how content appears in a real Chrome session before manually approving publication.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a preview post

```
Use this skill to draft an X post in preview mode with this text: <your post text>.
```

### Draft a post with images

```
Use this skill to compose an X post with this text and these image paths: <text>, <image paths>. Keep it in preview mode.
```

### Prepare a Markdown article

```
Use this skill to create an X Article draft from <markdown file>. Use <cover image path> as the cover image.
```

### Review then publish

```

```

## Limitations

- Requires Google Chrome or a compatible Chromium browser on the local machine.
- Requires the user to be logged in to X, and X Articles may require X Premium.
- Uses OS clipboard and keyboard automation, which can affect the active desktop session.
- May break if X changes its page structure, selectors, or anti-automation behavior.

## Best Practices

- Always run in preview or draft mode before using submit or publish options.
- Use a dedicated Chrome profile for X automation to limit account and session exposure.
- Keep image paths local and verify clipboard contents before publishing sensitive media.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not run the skill on a shared desktop session with unrelated applications in focus.
- Do not use it to bypass platform rules, spam limits, or consent requirements.
- Do not publish sensitive drafts without manual review in the browser.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T04:03:30.662\+00:00
- Summary: The skill is a real X publishing automation tool, but it has substantial security-sensitive behavior: child processes, Chrome DevTools control of a logged-in browser, clipboard writes, and OS-level paste keystrokes. Many static findings are formatting false positives, but the confirmed behavior warrants strong warnings and review before installation.
