Use when X bookmarks need to be captured into raw/sources or existing X bookmark source records need relevance triage
# Vault X Bookmarks Use this skill in one of two modes: - **Capture mode:** Use the bundled TypeScript helper to review a bounded slice of the authenticated user's X bookmarks and capture selected items into `raw/sources/`. - **Prune mode:** Triage existing X bookmark source records in `raw/sources/` using LLM judgment, deleting only records that are clearly irrelevant or too thin to be useful. This is source-first: the helper writes `external` source records, records captured bookmark IDs in `raw/state/x-bookmarks/`, and leaves organization to a follow-up `vault-ingest` run. Run prune mode after capture and before `vault-ingest` whenever a batch contains X bookmarks. Capture mode intentionally does not decide source value; prune mode is the LLM judgment step that keeps thin bookmark pointers from entering the curated vault. When a bookmarked post contains an X Article, the helper requests the `article` post field and includes the article title, preview, body text, and article entity links in the source record. When a bookmarked post links to external non-X content, the helper may fetch the direct linked page and include readable text in the source record. This is strictly one level deep: fetch URLs surfaced by the bookmark payload, but do not follow or recursively crawl links found inside fetched pages. ## Requirements - Node.js 18+ for `tsx` and `dotenv`. - Run `npm i` from this skill directory before running capture mode so the bundled TypeScript helper's dependencies are installed. - An X Developer account and app. See [X API docs](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api) for details. - [`xurl`](https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl/) CLI tool installed and authenticated with OAuth 2.0. ## Capture Command Run from this skill directory: ```sh npm i npx tsx scripts/x-bookmarks.ts [--limit N] [--max-pages N] [--head-pages N] [--path PATH] ``` ## Parameters - `--limit N` (default: `15`, range: `1..100`): maximum selected bookmarks to evaluate and capture in one run. - `--max-pages N` (default: `10`, range: `1..100`): maximum bookmark pages to fetch across the head scan and catch-up scan. - `--head-pages N` (default: `2`, range: `1..100`): newest bookmark pages to scan before resuming backlog pagination. - `--path PATH` (default: current working directory): vault root containing `raw/sources/` and `raw/state/x-bookmarks/`. Capture mode has no report mode. The helper is apply-only and bounded by `--limit`. It writes source records, appends reviewed/run state, and updates the catch-up checkpoint after successful runs. ## Authentication Install `xurl`, authenticate it with OAuth 2.0 for the X account whose bookmarks should be captured, and verify it before running the helper: ```sh xurl auth apps add vault-x-bookmarks --client-id <YOUR_CLIENT_ID> --client-secret <YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET> xurl auth oauth2 --app vault-x-bookmarks xurl default # to set the default authenticated app for later `xurl` commands xurl auth status xurl whoami ``` Required scopes: - `bookmark.read` - `tweet.read` - `users.read` - `offline.access` Do not use an app-only bearer token. The helper resolves the authenticated user through `xurl whoami`; do not pass a manual user ID. ## Capture Behavior 1. Load reviewed IDs from `raw/state/x-bookmarks/reviewed.jsonl`. 2. Fetch bookmark pages by shelling out to `xurl --auth oauth2`. 3. Always scan newest `--head-pages` first so newly saved bookmarks are found even after backlog has been processed. 4. If backlog remains and the head scan does not fill `--limit`, continue from the saved catch-up pagination token until `--max-pages` or `--limit` is reached. 5. Advance the saved catch-up token only past pages whose unreviewed bookmarks have all been captured or recorded; if `--limit` stops mid-page, save the token for that same page. 6. Select the newest unreviewed bookmarks reachable in the combined scan, up to `--limit`. 7. Process the selected slice newest-to-oldest, matching X bookmark order. 8. Capture every selected bookmark to `raw/sources/` as markdown tagged `external`, including X Article text and direct external linked-page text when available. 9. Append every captured bookmark to `reviewed.jsonl`. 10. Append the run summary to `runs.jsonl` and update `checkpoint.json` only after reviewed entries are durable. Never mutate X bookmarks. Never route captured files directly into permanent vault folders. ## Capture Policy Capture every selected bookmark. Do not apply regex scoring, string scoring, or filtering; the user's bookmark action is the relevance signal. Manually delete unwanted source records after a run. ## Prune Mode Use prune mode when `raw/sources/` contains captured X bookmark records that may not be worth keeping. This is an LLM judgment workflow, not a regex or scoring workflow. Before judging records, read the calibration examples: - `resources/good-quality-bookmarks.md` - `resources/low-quality-bookmarks.md` Default to **report mode** unless the user explicitly asks to apply deletion. In report mode, list each candidate and the keep/delete decision with concise reasoning. In apply mode, delete only the source files that are clearly discardable and append one `log.md` entry. ### Prune Scope - Inspect only captured bookmark source records still present in `raw/sources/`. Use `raw/state/x-bookmarks/reviewed.jsonl` as the source of truth: read each `source_record_path`, keep paths that still exist under `raw/sources/`, and ignore records that have already been routed, archived, or deleted. - Do not inspect or delete non-bookmark captures. - Do not query X. - Do not mutate X bookmarks. - Do not edit, prune, compact, or remove entries from `raw/state/x-bookmarks/reviewed.jsonl`, `runs.jsonl`, or `checkpoint.json`. The state files intentionally continue to mark deleted bookmarks as reviewed so future capture runs do not refetch unhelpful bookmarks. ### Prune Judgment Do not use regex, string scoring, keyword scoring, or mechanical thresholds to decide deletion. Read the source record and judge whether it contains durable value for the vault. Treat article/link sections as evidence, not automatic keep/delete switches. A short post with a useful captured article can be high value. A long post can be low value when it only points to missing media, a missing thread, or a stronger canonical source already in the vault. Delete only when the bookmark is clearly low-value, such as: - the post is mostly a bare link, reaction, teaser, or media pointer - no `## Article` or `## Linked Content` section provides meaningful substance - fetched link content is absent, boilerplate, login-gated, or too thin to support later synthesis - the topic is plainly unrelated to the vault's interests, projects, products, research, or recurring concepts - keeping it would create inbox noise rather than usable evidence Keep when there is plausible future value, such as: - concrete app, product, marketing, design, AI, engineering, or business insight - useful X Article or fetched linked-page text - evidence relevant to existing ideas, active projects, topic notes, or concepts - a source that is thin but points to a clearly important person, project, tool, market, or competitor - any ambiguous case where deletion would be a judgment call rather than an obvious cleanup ### Prune Output Return: - files reviewed - files kept with short reasons - files proposed for deletion or deleted with short reasons - confirmation that X bookmark state files were not modified - `log.md` entry appended when apply mode deletes files ## Output The command prints a JSON summary with the authenticated X user ID, pages fetched, evaluated and captured counts, created source paths, state files updated, and errors or partial failures. ## Examples Regular run: ```sh npx tsx scripts/x-bookmarks.ts --limit 15 ``` Catch up more backlog in one run: ```sh npx tsx scripts/x-bookmarks.ts --limit 75 --max-pages 25 --head-pages 2 ``` Override the vault path: ```sh npx tsx scripts/x-bookmarks.ts --path /path/to/vault --limit 20 ```
