X-Helper Skill

• Queries public Twitter data via free APIs (no API key needed)
  • Profile: fxtwitter
  • Tweet: vxtwitter
• Pure function library in scripts/x_helper.py, invoked via python3 -c

When to use (mandatory)

Any time the user asks for live data about a Twitter/X user or tweet — follower count, profile description, tweet text, like/retweet count, whether one tweet quoted another — you MUST call the relevant x_helper.py function via python3 -c rather than answering from memory. Twitter data changes constantly; cached/training-data answers are stale and incorrect. Triggers: "how many followers does elonmusk have", "what does @vitalik's bio say", "did @alice quote tweet X", "show tweet 12345 text", "follower count".
