Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/steipete/agent-scripts --skill xurl
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads xurl automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

xurl

Official CLI for the X API.

Primary upstream: https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl

Install

Homebrew:

brew install --cask xdevplatform/tap/xurl

npm:

npm install -g @xdevplatform/xurl

Shell script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdevplatform/xurl/main/install.sh | bash

Go:

go install github.com/xdevplatform/xurl@latest

Safety

  • Never read, print, summarize, upload, or paste ~/.xurl into LLM context.
  • Never ask the user to paste client secrets, bearer tokens, or OAuth tokens into chat.
  • Never use --verbose in agent runs; it can expose auth headers.
  • Do not run auth commands with inline secret flags in an agent session.
  • The user must register app credentials manually on their machine outside the agent session.

Auth

Check current state:

xurl auth status

If an app is already registered, complete OAuth 2.0:

xurl auth oauth2

Multi-app:

xurl auth apps list
xurl auth default my-app
xurl auth default my-app alice
xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me

Notes:

  • xurl stores app config and tokens in ~/.xurl.
  • OAuth 2.0 redirect URI in the X developer portal should be http://localhost:8080/callback.
  • App registration examples with inline secrets are intentionally omitted here. Do that outside the agent session.

This skill should be used when the user wants to "write agent code", "build an agent with ADK", "add a tool", "create a callback", "define an agent", "use state management" — in a project that needs ADK (Agent Development Kit) API patterns and code examples. It provides a quick reference for agent types, tool definitions, orchestration patterns, callbacks, state management, the graph Workflow API, and reference recipes to study. Do NOT use for scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold) or deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).

Add captions or subtitles to an existing single-subject talking-head video without editing the footage. Use for plain verbatim captions, cinematic captions embedded behind the subject, VFX captions, “炸/特效/酷炫字幕,” or a named identity from the 35-style catalog. Route by visual identity, not by backend engine. The quiet anchor rail is the default; embed every word only when the user explicitly wants a fully cinematic treatment. The workflow runs locally end to end, including transcription and subject matting; split multi-shot footage before applying it.
