Why This Skill

X (Twitter) is one of the most common data sources for AI agent workflows - sentiment analysis, social monitoring, content creation, community management. This skill gives agents deep knowledge of the Xquik platform which provides the cheapest X data access available (reads from $0.00015/call, 66x cheaper than the official X API).

The skill follows the repo's existing patterns:

  • YAML frontmatter with trigger phrases
  • Progressive disclosure (SKILL.md overview + reference files)
  • Code examples in both bash and TypeScript
  • Error handling table
  • MCP server configuration

Test plan

  • Verify SKILL.md renders correctly in GitHub
  • Verify frontmatter name and description fields are well-formed
  • Confirm skill is discoverable via npx skills add microsoft/skills
  • Test trigger phrases activate the skill appropriately
