Converts X (Twitter) tweets and articles to markdown with YAML front matter. Uses reverse-engineered API requiring user consent. Use when user mentions "X to markdown", "tweet to markdown", "save tweet", or provides x.com/twitter.com URLs for conversion.

X to Markdown Converts X content to markdown: Tweets/threads → Markdown with YAML front matter X Articles → Full content extraction User Input Tools When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool selection rule (priority order): 1. Prefer built in user input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., AskUserQuestion , request user input , clarify , ask user , or any equivalent. 2. Fallback : if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question. 3. Batching : if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single question, ask them one at a time in priority order. Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes. Script Directory Scripts located in scripts/ subdirectory. Path Resolution : 1. {baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory 2. Script path = {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts 3. Resolve ${BUN X} runtime: if bun installed → bun ; if npx available → npx y bun ; else suggest installing bun Consent Requirement Before any conversion , check and obtain consent. Consent Flow Step 1 : Check consent file Step 2 : If accepted: true and disclaimerVersion: "1.0" → print warning and proceed: Step 3 : If missing or version mismatch → display disclaimer: Use AskUserQuestion with options: "Yes, I accept" "No, I decline" Step 4 : On accept → create consent file: Step 5 : On decline → output "User declined. Exiting." and stop. Preferences (EXTEND.md) Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins: Priority Path Scope 1 .baoyu skills/baoyu danger x to markdown/EXTEND.md Project 2 ${XDG CONFIG HOME: $HOME/.config}/baoyu skills/baoyu danger x to markdown/EXTEND.md XDG 3 $HOME/.baoyu skills/baoyu danger x to markdown/EXTEND.md User home Result Action Found Read, parse, apply settings Not found MUST run first time setup (see below) — do NOT silently create defaults EXTEND.md supports : Download media by default, default output directory. First Time Setup (BLOCKING) CRITICAL : When EXTEND.md is not found, you MUST use AskUserQuestion to ask the user for their preferences before creating EXTEND.md. NEVER create EXTEND.md with defaults without asking. This is a BLOCKING operation — do NOT proceed with any conversion until setup is complete. Use AskUserQuestion with ALL questions in ONE call: Question 1 — header: "Media", question: "How to handle images and videos in tweets?" "Ask each time (Recommended)" — After saving markdown, ask whether to download media "Always download" — Always download media to local imgs/ and videos/ directories "Never download" — Keep original remote URLs in markdown Question 2 — header: "Output", question: "Default output directory?" "x to markdown (Recommended)" — Save to ./x to markdown/{username}/{tweet id}.md (User may choose "Other" to type a custom path) Question 3 — header: "Save", question: "Where to save preferences?" "User (Recommended)" — ~/.baoyu skills/ (all projects) "Project" — .baoyu skills/ (this project only) After user answers, create EXTEND.md at the chosen location, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.

Run script without download media → markdown saved 2. Check saved markdown for remote media URLs ( https:// in image/video links) 3. If no remote media found → done, no prompt needed 4. If remote media found → use AskUserQuestion : header: "Media", question: "Download N images/videos to local files?" "Yes" — Download to local directories "No" — Keep remote URLs 5. If user confirms → run script again with download media (overwrites markdown with localized links) Authentication 1. Environment variables (preferred): X AUTH TOKEN , X CT0 2.
