Hermes Tweet

Use Xquik from Hermes Agent for X search, posting, replies, likes, retweets, follows, DMs, monitors, extraction jobs, draws, media, and trends.

Use Hermes Tweet when the user wants to automate or inspect X through Xquik.

When to Use

Use this skill for Hermes Agent sessions that need X/Twitter data or controlled X actions through the Hermes Tweet plugin.

Use tweet_explore first when the user asks for a capability, endpoint, route, or Xquik API surface. Use tweet_read only after a read-only endpoint is known. Use tweet_action only after the user requests a write, private read, monitor, webhook, extraction job, giveaway draw, or media operation that requires action permissions.

Workflow

1. Use tweet_explore to find the endpoint.
2. Use tweet_read for public read-only endpoints.
3. Use tweet_action only for writes or private reads after stating the exact endpoint and payload.

Decision Rules

• IF the task is endpoint discovery, THEN call tweet_explore with a short query.
• IF the endpoint method is GET and the catalog does not mark it as an action, THEN call tweet_read.
• IF the endpoint method is not GET, or the route touches private account state, THEN call tweet_action only when actions are enabled and the user has approved the operation.
• IF tweet_action is unavailable or disabled, THEN explain that action tools are intentionally gated by HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true.
• IF XQUIK_API_KEY is missing, THEN ask the user to set it in the Hermes runtime environment without requesting the key value in chat.

Safety

• Never ask for or reveal API keys, signing keys, passwords, cookies, or TOTP secrets.
• Never pass credentials in tool arguments.
• Use only catalog-listed /api/v1/... endpoints.
• Do not use account connection, re-authentication, API key, billing, credit top-up, or support-ticket endpoints.
• For posting, deleting, following, DMs, profile changes, monitors, webhooks, extraction jobs, and draws, summarize the action before calling tweet_action.

Pitfalls

• Do not guess endpoint paths. Always use the catalog returned by tweet_explore.
• Do not treat a slash command prompt as proof that Hermes registered the command. Verify slash commands through an active Hermes session or plugin registry test.
• Do not use bare hermes tools for scripted diagnostics. Run hermes tools list instead.
• Do not retry writes through alternate routes after a policy, auth, or account state error.
• Do not include secrets in examples, logs, prompts, issue bodies, or tool input.

Examples

Search tweets:

{"query":"tweet search","method":"GET"}

Then call:

{"path":"/api/v1/x/tweets/search","query":{"q":"AI agents","limit":25}}

Post a tweet:

{"query":"post tweet","include_actions":true}

Then call tweet_action with:

{"path":"/api/v1/x/tweets","method":"POST","body":{"account":"@example","text":"Hello from Hermes Tweet"},"reason":"Post the user-approved tweet."}

Testing

After installing or upgrading the plugin in Hermes Agent:

1. Run hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet.
2. Run hermes tools list and confirm the hermes-tweet toolset is enabled.
3. Confirm tweet_explore is available without XQUIK_API_KEY.
4. Confirm tweet_read appears only when XQUIK_API_KEY is configured.
5. Confirm tweet_action stays hidden or disabled unless HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true.

Useful CLI checks:

hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet
hermes tools list
