What X Automation does

X Automation provides verified browser automation flows for posting, replying, deleting, and search-and-engage on X/Twitter using browser_* tools. It covers Draft.js composer quirks that disable the send button and includes daily-reply and job-market-reply playbooks.

X Automation is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. X Automation comes from a repository tagged agent, agent-framework, agent-skills, anthropic and automation.

Documentation

README

X / Twitter Automation

X uses Draft.js (the original Facebook rich-text editor) for the compose text area, which was the original canary for all the rich-text editor quirks the browser-automation skill now documents. Most of the site is otherwise stable — data-testid attributes have held up for years, the SPA is reasonably honest about what it renders, and shadow DOM is minimal. The hard parts are the composer, rate limiting, and the occasional anti-bot challenge.

Always activate browser-automation first. This skill assumes you already know about CSS-px coordinates, click-first typing, and Input.insertText. The guidance below is X-specific.

Error Recovery

Error Recovery guides an agent through a decision tree for tool call failures: retry transient errors once, fix and retry structural ones, or escalate if blocking. It switches tools after repeated failures and logs failed tasks to a database.
