Bytesagain X Manager

Manage X (Twitter) account: auto-post AI-generated tweets, monitor brand mentions, auto-like relevant posts, and send Telegram approval requests for replies.

Manage your X (Twitter) account with automated posting, monitoring, and engagement. Generates tweet drafts via xAI, validates content before posting, and routes mention replies through human approval.

What This Skill Owns

• Tweet posting and replies: publish content via X API OAuth 1.0a with pre-post validation
• Daily content generation: create 3 tweet drafts/day using xAI trend analysis
• Brand monitoring: scan @bytesagain mentions every 2 hours, draft replies for approval
• Auto-like: like AI/skill related tweets to grow visibility
• Competitor tracking: monitor @openclaw and related accounts
• Telegram approval workflow: route all mention replies through human confirmation

What This Skill Does Not Cover

• Sending DMs (requires additional OAuth scope not currently enabled)
• Deleting tweets (requires explicit human authorization per tweet)
• Deep analytics (follower growth trends, engagement rate analysis)
• Posting images or videos (text-only)
• Accessing private or protected accounts
• Publishing skills to ClawHub (use skill-manager for that)

Commands

draft

Generate 3 tweet drafts for the day using xAI trend analysis. Saves to /tmp/x-drafts-YYYY-MM-DD.json.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh draft

post

Post a tweet from today's saved drafts. Use --index to select which draft (0=first, 1=second, 2=third).

bash

bash scripts/script.sh post --index 0
bash scripts/script.sh post --index 1
bash scripts/script.sh post --index 2

monitor

Run brand and competitor monitoring report. Tracks @bytesagain mentions, @openclaw activity, and AI skill trends. Sends Telegram report with Chinese summary.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh monitor

like

Auto-like recent tweets matching AI agent / skill keywords. Skips own tweets and already-liked posts.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh like

scan-mentions

Scan recent @bytesagain mentions, draft replies via xAI, and send Telegram approval requests to operator.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh scan-mentions

send-reply

Send a pre-approved reply to one or more tweets. Multiple IDs are staggered 30–90 seconds apart to appear natural.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh send-reply <tweet_id>
bash scripts/script.sh send-reply <tweet_id1> <tweet_id2> <tweet_id3>

status

Show pending approval queue and today's saved drafts.

bash

bash scripts/script.sh status

Approval Workflow

1. scan-mentions detects new @bytesagain mentions
2. xAI drafts a reply for each mention
3. Telegram message sent to operator: original tweet + draft reply + tweet ID
4. Operator replies 发 <tweet_id> to approve, 跳过 <tweet_id> to skip
5. Agent calls send-reply <tweet_id> to post the approved reply

Validation Rules (pre-post checks)

All tweets are validated before posting:

Check	Result
Link in tweet body	❌ Blocked (X penalizes -40%)
More than 2 hashtags	❌ Blocked
Specific large numbers (e.g. 10000, 500K)	❌ Blocked (may be inaccurate)
Banned words (guaranteed, make money…)	❌ Blocked
No question mark	⚠️ Warning only
Tweet under 50 characters	⚠️ Warning only

Blocked tweets trigger a Telegram notification with the reason. Fallback preset templates are used if xAI times out.
