Bird Twitter Skill (Read-Only)

Read X/Twitter content using the Bird CLI tool. This skill only exposes read-only operations to avoid account suspension risks.

When to Use This Skill

Triggered by:

• "read tweet [id/url]", "show tweet [id/url]"
• "search twitter [query]", "search x [query]"
• "my bookmarks", "twitter bookmarks"
• "bookmark folder", "收藏夹文件夹", "待办收藏夹", "推特收藏夹中的[folder name]"
• "trending", "twitter trends", "what's trending"
• "twitter news", "x news"
• "timeline", "i/timeline", "通知时间线", "device follow"
• "for you", "home", "home timeline", "首页推荐"
• "following", "following timeline", "首页关注流"
• "user timeline [username]", "timeline [username]", "user tweets [username]"
• "my mentions", "twitter mentions"
• "twitter lists", "my lists"
• "my feed"

Terminology Mapping (Unified)

• `timeline` -> `x.com/i/timeline` (`device_follow` endpoint)
• `for you` / `首页推荐` / `home` -> `bird home -n 20`
• `following` / `首页关注流` -> `bird home --following -n 100`
• `timeline [username]` -> `bird user-tweets <username> -n 20`

Default rule: if user says only `timeline` with no qualifier, treat it as `i/timeline`.

Prerequisites

1. Bird CLI 安装：**新机器上运行一次 `scripts/install_local.zsh` 即可**——解包仓库内置包 `vendor/bird-macos-universal-v0.8.0.tar.gz`、重签、把 wrapper 与凭据工具链接进 `~/.local/bin`，幂等可重复运行。外部来源可用时也可选 `brew install steipete/tap/bird`。

• 运行件布局：`~/.local/bin/bird` 与 `~/.local/bin/bird-x-cookies-to-keychain` 都是指向本 skill `scripts/` 下源文件的软链，真二进制是 `~/.local/bin/bird-bin`。源文件随 skill 入仓、软链由安装脚本重建，所以换机器只需「同步仓库 + 跑一次脚本 + 存一次凭据」
• **macOS 26+ 解包后必须重签一次**（安装脚本已含此步）：包内二进制是 linker-signed adhoc 签名，新系统判定其无效并直接 SIGKILL，表现为任何子命令都零输出、退出码 137。执行 `codesign -f -s - <bird 路径>` 即可，二进制内容不变。包内那份签名本身就是坏的，重新解包不解决问题。

2. 认证凭据按 环境变量 -> 钥匙串 -> 浏览器 cookie 库 的顺序解析：

• 主路径是钥匙串，Claude Code 一侧不需要任何系统授权。填充方式二选一：
• 自动（推荐）：在一个持有完全磁盘访问权限的终端里运行 `bird-x-cookies-to-keychain`。凭据写入本地登录钥匙串（`login.keychain-db`），**不随 iCloud 同步**，每台机器各存一次，它从 Chrome 提取后直接写入钥匙串，凭据过期时重跑同一条即可刷新。授权对象选终端而非 Claude Code——终端路径固定，一次永久有效
• 手动：值取自 Chrome DevTools（F12 -> Application -> Cookies -> `https://x.com`）

       security add-generic-password -U -a "$USER" -s bird-x-auth-token -w
       security add-generic-password -U -a "$USER" -s bird-x-ct0 -w

• `~/.local/bin/bird` 是一层 wrapper，取出凭据后经 `AUTH_TOKEN` / `CT0` 环境变量交给真二进制 `bird-bin`。用环境变量而非命令行参数有两个原因：凭据不进 argv（`ps` 默认输出看不到，但 `ps eww` 仍能读到进程环境——暴露面只是小一档，不是消失）；不受全局开关与子命令先后顺序的影响（`bird --timeout 20000 whoami` 这类写法会让基于位置的注入失效）。`bird-bookmark-folders` skill 共用同一对钥匙串条目
• **凭据失效（401 / `Could not authenticate you`）时的自动恢复**：在 Claude 桌面 app 的终端面板里运行 `bird-x-cookies-to-keychain`（`mcp__terminal__run_in_terminal`），无需用户介入。该面板的 shell 挂在桌面 app 本体（`com.anthropic.claudefordesktop`）名下并继承其完全磁盘访问权限；Bash 工具继承的则是 `com.anthropic.claude-code` helper 的身份，没有该权限——这是两条路唯一的差别，也是刷新必须走终端面板的原因
• 回退路径是让 bird 自己读浏览器 cookie 库，这需要给当前 Claude Code bundle 完全磁盘访问权限。该授权绑定调用方路径与签名，而 Claude Code 每次升级都换目录，因此会反复失效——不要依赖它

3. In this environment, network access to X should go through local proxy:

• `HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897`
• `HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897`

4. Run `HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 whoami` to verify authentication；输出首行 `📍 env AUTH_TOKEN` 表示走的是钥匙串凭据，`📍 chrome` 表示回退到了 cookie 库 5. If Python requests fail with SSL certificate verification behind proxy, ensure `certifi` is available (`python3 -c "import certifi; print(certifi.where())"`); when needed, pass the CA bundle explicitly via `--cafile`.

Global Options

All commands should use:

• proxy env (`HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY`)
• `--cookie-source chrome` to only use Chrome cookies (skip Safari/Firefox)。**凭据走钥匙串时该选项无实际作用**：wrapper 已把 `AUTH_TOKEN`/`CT0` 注入环境，bird 优先用环境变量，不会去读任何浏览器 cookie 库
• `--timeout 15000` to avoid hanging requests

Recommended command prefix:

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 <command>

For `device_follow_timeline.py`:

• In this proxy environment, prefer a single-shot command with explicit `--cafile`; do not first try a bare command and then retry.
• Script now auto-detects `certifi` CA bundle and logs `SSL trust source`.
• You can explicitly force trust source with `--cafile <path>` / `--capath <dir>`; environment variables `SSL_CERT_FILE` / `SSL_CERT_DIR` are still supported.
• Emergency fallback only: set `BIRD_INSECURE_SSL=1` to retry once without SSL verification.

Example:

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 home -n 20

Commands

1. Check Auth Status

**Triggers:** "twitter auth", "bird whoami", "check twitter login"

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 whoami

2. Read Tweet

**Triggers:** "read tweet [id]", "show tweet [url]", "get tweet"

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 read <tweet-id-or-url>

Options: `--plain` for stable output without emoji/color Notes:

• `--plain` 仅用于临时阅读/命令行快速查看，不得用于“收录/归档/完整保存”任务。
• 归档任务必须使用 `--json-full`，并从 `article.article_results.result.content_state`（正文结构）+ `media_entities`（图片资源）恢复图文顺序。

2b. Archive Tweet/Article (Text + Media)

**Use when:** 用户要求“收录/归档/完整保存/原文保留（含图）”

HTTP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897 bird --timeout 15000 read --json-full <tweet-id-or-url>

Requirements:

• 保留原文结构（标题、列表、引用、代码块）
• 图片按原文顺序本地化并在文内原位引用
• 必做三数一致校验：预期图片数 = 下载成功数 = 文内引用数
• 结构重建必须以 `content_state.blocks` 为唯一顺序源，禁止用 `--plain` 文本推断结构
• `atomic` 块类型必须从 `entityMap.value.type` 判定（`MEDIA` / `MARKDOWN` / `DIVIDER`），禁止猜测
• `MEDIA` 必须通过 `m
