Twitter/X 发布技能

Use this skill when:

• The user wants to post text, images, or video to Twitter/X
• You need to share a created article excerpt or key insights on X
• You need to cross-post content to international audiences

Prerequisites: The browser session must be logged in to x.com. Warm up with a homepage visit if session is cold.

通用约束

• 文件上传前必须先复制到 /tmp/openclaw/uploads/（browser 工具沙箱限制）
• browser upload 工具可能返回「超时错误」，但这不代表上传失败！上传后用 snapshot 检查页面状态（缩略图是否出现）
• 不要通过检查 input.files.length 是否为 0 判定上传是否失败！ input.files.length == 0 不代表上传失败。
• 遇到 browser failed: timed out. Restart the OpenClaw gateway ... 错误时，不需要重启、不需要报错！等待 30 秒后在原页面继续操作即可。若仍无法操作，再等 30 秒；若还不行，尝试关闭浏览器后重开；只有关闭重开后仍报错才是真的出错，需停止并反馈用户。
• 正文输入使用 type + slowly: true，不要用 fill()
