ClawHub Twitter/X Skills Directory: Skills for Posting, Research, Monitoring & Automation
The Twitter/X direction on ClawHub has dedicated skills — the largest social media platform coverage in the library. The spread is extreme: one skill (x-twitter) accounts for over 17,000 downloads on its own, while 54 skills sit at zero installs. Here's the full breakdown.
Note: Install and download figures in text descriptions reflect stats at the time of writing and may be outdated. All skill tables are live — they fetch current data from the ClawHub database on every page load. Treat table values as authoritative.

1. Core API Clients
The backbone of the Twitter/X skill ecosystem. These tools connect directly to the official Twitter API v2, the 6551 API, or established third-party services (TwitterAPI.io, OpenTweet, etc.). Start here before looking at browser-based alternatives.
The 6551 API (powering opentwitter-mcp and opentwitter-2) is a notable third-party proxy — it offers higher rate limits than the official free tier but adds a dependency on a non-Anthropic service.
2. Content Generation
Pure writing tools — no posting, no API calls. Give them a topic or reference material and they draft tweets, threads, or ideas. The quality gap between the top entries and the long tail here is significant.
tweet-composer is the most technically interesting here — it references X's actual open-source ranking algorithm to score tweet quality before posting, rather than just generating based on vibes.
3. Publishing & Scheduling
Automation-first tools focused on when and where posts go out. Several handle multi-platform publishing, which reduces the Twitter/X dependency problem.
postiz is the clear multi-platform winner with the highest install count in this category. If your workflow touches more than one social platform, it avoids duplicating skills per network.
4. Search, Scraping & Data Extraction
The largest functional category. Ranges from structured API queries to aggressive scraping via GraphQL or browser. Pay attention to the method — official API vs scraper — since scraper-based tools are vulnerable to Twitter/X blocking.
The GraphQL scraper tools (twitter-scrape, x-twitter-scraper) periodically break when Twitter/X updates its internal API — expect maintenance downtime. The third-party API wrappers (TwitterAPI.io, 6551) are more stable but add cost.
5. Monitoring & Intelligence
Set-and-forget watchers: track accounts, KOL feeds, brand mentions, or specific topics and get alerts or summaries.
The Telegram notification pattern (twitter-monitor-by-longge, x-tweet-monitor) is common in the crypto community — push alerts to a group when target accounts post.
6. Growth & Engagement
Auto-follow, auto-like, auto-comment, audience-building tools. These sit in a gray area — most platforms tolerate mild automation but ban aggressive engagement scripts. Install count is low across the board here.
Zero installs across all 8 skills. This category has the lowest adoption in the Twitter/X skill set — users appear to prefer manual engagement or dedicated SaaS tools for growth.
7. Browser Automation & Stealth
No API key required — these operate via browser sessions or cookie injection. The upside is bypassing API rate limits and costs. The downside: ToS violation risk, account ban exposure, and brittle implementations that break when X updates its frontend.
mia-twitter-stealth is the only browser-automation tool with meaningful traction (10 installs). The anti-detection focus suggests it's targeting users who've had API-based tools banned.
8. Niche & Specialty
Skills built around specific use cases: crypto intelligence, multi-language thread conversion, Polymarket betting, finance sentiment.
polymarket-elon-tweets is probably the most unusual skill in the entire ClawHub library — it reads Elon Musk's tweet volume to help you trade prediction market contracts. 902 downloads and 8 installs is genuinely interesting traction for such a narrow use case.

| Crypto KOL intelligence feed | openclaw-twitter-monitor |
| Score my tweet quality before posting | tweet-composer |
Closing Observations
The x-twitter moat is real. One skill has 17,100 downloads — more than 15x the runner-up. When a platform has a clear reference implementation this dominant, alternatives rarely gain traction unless they solve a specific gap (no API key, multi-platform, niche use case).
50% zero-install rate, but the pattern is different from other platforms. On Instagram or Telegram, zero-install skills tend to be one-off experiments. On Twitter/X, the zero-install cluster is unusually large even among skills with 200–600 downloads — which suggests significant "download to evaluate" behavior from developers who decide not to commit.
Three distinct technical camps, and they don't overlap much: official API v2 tools (reliable, need Twitter developer account), third-party API proxies like 6551 and TwitterAPI.io (higher limits, added cost), and browser/cookie-based tools (no account needed, ToS gray zone). Users seem to pick one lane and stay in it.
The crypto and finance use cases drive disproportionate engagement. polymarket-elon-tweets, openclaw-twitter-monitor, openclaw-aisa-us-stock-analyst all have better installs-to-downloads ratios than most content creation tools. Crypto traders appear to be the most committed Twitter/X skill users on the platform.
Content generation has the most fragmentation with the least differentiation. Eleven skills in the content generation category, most doing functionally the same thing (write viral tweets + threads). tweet-writer dominates because it adds live web research — that's the only meaningful differentiator in this cluster.
