name	xint-rs
description	X Intelligence CLI for searching, monitoring, and analyzing X/Twitter from the terminal. Use for X/Twitter research prompts such as "search x", "find tweets about", "what's X saying", trend checks, follower diffs, real-time watch tasks, sentiment/report analysis, and bookmark-sync workflows. Best when recent community discourse matters (library/API changes, launches, market or cultural events). Supports search, watch, trends, bookmarks, likes/following (OAuth), Grok analysis, and JSON/JSONL/CSV/Markdown export. Non-goals: posting original tweets, DMs, or enterprise-only features.

xint — X Intelligence CLI (Rust)

Fast, zero-dependency binary for X/Twitter search, analysis, and engagement from the terminal. All output goes to stdout (pipe-friendly).

Security Considerations

This skill requires sensitive credentials. Follow these guidelines:

Credentials

• X_BEARER_TOKEN: Required for X API. Treat as a secret - only set in environment or .env file
• XAI_API_KEY: Optional, needed for AI analysis. Also a secret
• X_CLIENT_ID: Optional, needed for OAuth. Less sensitive but don't expose publicly
• XAI_MANAGEMENT_API_KEY: Optional, for collections management

File Writes

• This skill writes to its own data/ directory: cache, exports, snapshots, OAuth tokens
• OAuth tokens stored with restrictive permissions (chmod 600)
• Review exported data before sharing - may contain sensitive search queries

Webhooks

• The watch command supports --webhook to send data to external URLs
• Only use webhooks you control (your own servers, Slack/Discord you own)
• Don't pass sensitive URLs as webhook targets

Agent Execution Boundaries

• This file documents commands and safety limits only
• Require explicit user approval before install/clone actions
• Use only documented commands and flags
• Require explicit user approval before network-facing modes (mcp --sse, watch --webhook)

Installation

• For required tools: prefer OS package managers over curl | bash when possible
• Verify any installer scripts before running

MCP Server (Optional)

• xint mcp starts a local MCP server exposing xint commands as tools
• Default mode is stdio/local integration; no inbound web server unless --sse is explicitly enabled
• Respect --policy read_only|engagement|moderation and budget guardrails

Setup

Requires env vars (in .env or exported):

• X_BEARER_TOKEN — for search, profile, tweet, thread, trends, watch, report
• X_CLIENT_ID — for OAuth commands (bookmarks, likes, following, diff)
