xurl v1.1.0 added an optional USERNAME positional to `xurl auth oauth2`
that skips the `/2/users/me` lookup, which has been returning 403/UsernameNotFound
for many devs. Documents the workaround in both setup (step 5) and
troubleshooting.
Reported by @itechnologynet.
- Setup step 5: add --app my-app to xurl auth oauth2 so token binds to the correct app
- Setup step 6: add xurl auth default my-app to set the named app as default
- Add pitfall callout explaining the empty 'default' profile trap
- Agent Workflow step 2: detect when default app has no oauth2 tokens
- Add Troubleshooting table with common xurl issues (auth errors, unauthorized_client, enrollment, credits, media upload, dashboard UI bug)
- Bump to v1.1.0
Community report by @0xHarryWeb3
Swap the social-media/xitter skill (third-party wrapper around
Infatoshi/x-cli) for a new social-media/xurl skill wrapping
xdevplatform/xurl — the official X API CLI from the X developer
platform team.
Why:
- xurl is officially maintained by the X dev platform team
- OAuth 2.0 PKCE with auto-refresh + multi-app / multi-user support
(vs. xitter's 5-env-var OAuth 1.0a + single account)
- Credentials stored in ~/.xurl managed by xurl itself — no manual
env var juggling for users
- Substantially larger API surface: DMs, follows, blocks, mutes,
media upload, streaming, and raw v2 endpoint access
- Ships stronger agent-safety guardrails (forbidden-flag list,
no --verbose in agent mode, never-read-~/.xurl rule)
Adaptation:
- Ported the openclaw SKILL.md (which the xdevplatform team seeded)
to Hermes frontmatter conventions (prerequisites.commands, platforms,
metadata.hermes.tags/homepage) — dropped openclaw-specific metadata
- Added a Hermes-oriented one-time user setup section so the agent
knows to direct the user to run auth commands themselves, never
execute them with inline secrets
- Preserved the mandatory secret-safety rules verbatim
- Attribution block credits xdevplatform, openclaw, and the Hermes
port
Docs: updated website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md to replace
the xitter row with xurl.
* feat(skills): salvage xitter skill from PR #1065
Adapt the X/Twitter skill onto current main without vendoring an external CLI.
Use upstream x-cli installation instructions, add a social-media category,
and align credential/setup guidance with Hermes conventions.
* docs(skills): explain X credential requirements in xitter skill
Clarify why the official X flow needs five credentials and call out the setup/cost friction explicitly.
