Overview

This skill posts content to X (Twitter) using a real Chrome browser with CDP to bypass anti-automation checks. It supports regular posts with images, video posts, and long-form X Articles authored in Markdown. The tool runs scripts that offer a preview mode by default and an explicit --submit flag to publish.

How this skill works

Scripts launch a real Chrome/Chromium instance and automate posting flows through the Chrome DevTools Protocol, preserving a real browser session to avoid bot detection. There are separate scripts for text+images, video uploads, and converting/publishing Markdown articles; a preview-only run shows the full workflow until you pass --submit to finalize. You must log in once interactively; sessions are saved for subsequent runs.

When to use it

• Publish a short text post with up to four images.
• Share an MP4/MOV/WebM video with an accompanying caption.
• Publish a long-form article drafted in Markdown to X Articles.
• Automate repeated posting while keeping an interactive browser session.
• Preview an automated post workflow before actually publishing.

Best practices

• Always run in preview mode first and review what will be posted before using --submit.
• Log into X in the opened browser on first run so the session can be stored for future automation.
• Use a custom Chrome profile with --profile to isolate sessions and avoid cross-account issues.
• Respect video format and duration limits: typical accounts ~140s, Premium accounts longer; allow 30–60s for processing.
• Keep images under platform limits and limit to four images per regular post.

Example use cases

• Post a promotional image carousel from a local folder using the image script in preview then publish.
• Upload a product demo video with caption using the video script and --submit after validation.
• Convert a Markdown article to HTML and publish it as an X Article with an optional cover image.
• Automate scheduled content creation by invoking the scripts from a task runner, verifying with preview.
• Use a dedicated Chrome profile directory to manage multiple X accounts safely.
