Neomano X (Tweet Publisher + Image)

Draft, revise, and publish X (Twitter) posts with an image using the X API. Use when the user asks for a tweet/post for X, wants to attach an image, and requires a human approval step (“PUBLICAR” or “PUBLISH”) before actually posting.

Safety / approval rule (mandatory)

• Never publish unless the user explicitly replies with PUBLICAR or PUBLISH (uppercase).
• Before publishing, always show the final text + the image you will use.

Credentials (do not hardcode)

Provide these as environment variables (recommended: ~/.openclaw/.env on the gateway machine):

• X_API_KEY
• X_API_SECRET
• X_ACCESS_TOKEN
• X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

One-time setup

1) Create the venv (once)

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/bootstrap_venv.py

Rationale: this avoids system-wide installs (PEP 668 / externally-managed Python) and keeps dependencies isolated to this skill.

Note: the .venv/ directory is intentionally not shipped in the skill package; each user creates it locally.

2) If you do NOT have Access Token Secret (UI changed)

Use the OAuth 1.0a 3‑legged flow to obtain X_ACCESS_TOKEN + X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET.

Prereq: set an allowed callback URL in your X app settings (any HTTPS URL is fine, even a dummy page). Recommended: set X_OAUTH_CALLBACK=https://example.com/callback (and whitelist it in the app).

Start:

# run inside the venv
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/run.py dry-run --text "(noop)"  # just to verify venv exists
{baseDir}/.venv/bin/python {baseDir}/scripts/oauth1_flow.py auth-start

Open the printed AUTH_URL, approve, then copy oauth_verifier from the browser redirect URL.

Finish:

{baseDir}/.venv/bin/python {baseDir}/scripts/oauth1_flow.py auth-finish \
  --oauth-token "..." \
  --oauth-token-secret "..." \
  --oauth-verifier "..."

Workflow

1. Ask for: tweet text idea + the image (a local path or an inbound media file path).
2. Produce a draft tweet (and alt-text suggestion for the image).
3. Iterate revisions until the user is happy.
4. When the user says PUBLICAR or PUBLISH:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/run.py publish --text "..." --image "/path/to/image.jpg"

If the user did not approve, only run dry-run:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/run.py dry-run --text "..." --image "/path/to/image.jpg"

Notes

• Image upload uses the v1.1 media upload endpoint.
• Tweet creation uses the v2 tweets endpoint.
