Security Audit

Safe

v1 • 5/30/2026

Security evaluation confirms this is legitimate Twitter/X automation skill documentation. Static analyzer flagged 46 potential issues, but manual review determined all findings are false positives or documented CLI usage patterns. The skill documents belt CLI invocations with hardcoded arguments only. No command injection vectors exist. The 'weak cryptographic algorithm' flags were misidentified table elements and app name fragments. No actual security vulnerabilities present.

What You Can Build

Schedule social media content

Marketing teams can schedule tweets with images by generating content with AI and posting through the CLI. Works well for product announcements and campaign posts.

Automate engagement workflows

Community managers can automate liking and retweeting specific content, or send welcome DMs to new followers based on their username.

Build content pipelines

Creators can combine AI image and video generation skills with Twitter posting to create automated content pipelines that generate and publish social media posts.

Try These Prompts

Post a simple tweet

Use the twitter-automation skill to post a tweet saying "{tweet_text}" to my Twitter account.

Post tweet with image

Use the twitter-automation skill to post a tweet with image. The text should be "{tweet_text}" and the media URL is {image_url}.

Engage with a tweet

Use the twitter-automation skill to like the tweet at {tweet_url} and then follow its author.

AI content pipeline

Generate an image using AI with the prompt "{image_prompt}", then post it to Twitter with the caption "{caption}" using the twitter-automation skill.

Best Practices

Always authenticate with belt login before running any Twitter commands
Test commands with sample data using belt app sample before full automation
Monitor X API rate limits and implement delays between bulk operations

Avoid

Do not post the same content repeatedly without variation to avoid spam detection
Do not attempt actions beyond your API permissions level
Do not store API credentials in skill documentation or comments

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up the twitter-automation skill?

Install the belt CLI with npx skills add belt-sh/cli, run belt login to authenticate with inference.sh, and set up your X API credentials in the inference.sh dashboard.

What X API permissions do I need?

You need read and write permissions to post, like, retweet, and send DMs. User follow requires write permissions. Profile reading requires read permissions.

Can I schedule tweets for later?

This skill posts tweets immediately. For scheduling, combine it with a task scheduler or cron job, or use external scheduling tools with the belt CLI.

What happens if my tweet fails?

The belt CLI will return an error message with the failure reason. Common issues include rate limit exceeded, invalid media URL, or insufficient API permissions.

How do I add images or videos to my tweets?

Use the x/post-create app and include a media_url field pointing to a publicly accessible image or video URL. The AI image generation skill can create images you can use.

Is this skill safe to use with my main Twitter account?

Yes, but use caution with automation frequency. Twitter may flag accounts for excessive automated activity. Start with small volumes and monitor your account status.
