browser-read-x

Extract the main X/Twitter post or article content from a page that is already open in the browser (using browser act evaluate).

Site-specific extractor for X/Twitter. It is tuned to return the central post/article content while filtering UI chrome such as sidebars, trends, login/signup prompts, reaction metrics, and article footer/promotional blocks.

Use case

• web_fetch is noisy or blocked (auth-required/public X/X-protected pages).
• You need tweet/article text from an already-open X page in browser.
• You specifically want the main status/article body, not sidebar or CTAs.

How to use

1. Navigate to the URL with browser navigate (or ensure the page is already open).
2. Run browser act with kind="evaluate" and pass the contents of skills/browser-read-x/extract.js as fn.
3. The script returns:
   • title
   • content (plain markdown-ish text with reduced X UI noise)
   • excerpt
   • byline
   • siteName
   • length
   • url

Example

{
  "action": "act",
  "kind": "evaluate",
  "targetId": "...",
  "fn": "(() => { ... })()"
}

Notes

• Self-contained and safe to pass directly as JS to browser act.
• The script prefers the specific status/article node on X and falls back to generic article/main selection if that fails.
• For non-X pages it still behaves similarly to the generic extractor (best-effort cleanup + markdownish text conversion).
