# Hermes Tweet

Use Hermes Tweet when the user wants to automate or inspect X through Xquik.

## When to Use

Use this skill for Hermes Agent sessions that need X/Twitter data or controlled
X actions through the Hermes Tweet plugin.

Use `tweet_explore` first when the user asks for a capability, endpoint, route,
or Xquik API surface. Use `tweet_read` only after a read-only endpoint is known.
Use `tweet_action` only after the user requests a write, private read, monitor,
webhook, extraction job, giveaway draw, or media operation that requires action
permissions.

## Workflow

1. Use `tweet_explore` to find the endpoint.
2. Use `tweet_read` for public read-only endpoints.
3. Use `tweet_action` only for writes or private reads after stating the exact endpoint and payload.

## Decision Rules

- IF the task is endpoint discovery, THEN call `tweet_explore` with a short
  query.
- IF the endpoint method is `GET` and the catalog does not mark it as an
  action, THEN call `tweet_read`.
- IF the endpoint method is not `GET`, or the route touches private account
  state, THEN call `tweet_action` only when actions are enabled and the user has
  approved the operation.
- IF `tweet_action` is unavailable or disabled, THEN explain that action tools
  are intentionally gated by `HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true`.
- IF `XQUIK_API_KEY` is missing, THEN ask the user to set it in the Hermes
  runtime environment without requesting the key value in chat.

## Safety

- Never ask for or reveal API keys, signing keys, passwords, cookies, or TOTP secrets.
- Never pass credentials in tool arguments.
- Use only catalog-listed `/api/v1/...` endpoints.
- Do not use account connection, re-authentication, API key, billing, credit top-up, or support-ticket endpoints.
- For posting, deleting, following, DMs, profile changes, monitors, webhooks, extraction jobs, and draws, summarize the action before calling `tweet_action`.

## Pitfalls

- Do not guess endpoint paths. Always use the catalog returned by `tweet_explore`.
- Do not treat a slash command prompt as proof that Hermes registered the
  command. Verify slash commands through an active Hermes session or plugin
  registry test.
- Do not use bare `hermes tools` for scripted diagnostics. Run
  `hermes tools list` instead.
- Do not retry writes through alternate routes after a policy, auth, or account
  state error.
- Do not include secrets in examples, logs, prompts, issue bodies, or tool input.

## Examples

Search tweets:

```json
{"query":"tweet search","method":"GET"}
```

Then call:

```json
{"path":"/api/v1/x/tweets/search","query":{"q":"AI agents","limit":25}}
```

Post a tweet:

```json
{"query":"post tweet","include_actions":true}
```

Then call `tweet_action` with:

```json
{"path":"/api/v1/x/tweets","method":"POST","body":{"account":"@example","text":"Hello from Hermes Tweet"},"reason":"Post the user-approved tweet."}
```

## Testing

After installing or upgrading the plugin in Hermes Agent:

1. Run `hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet`.
2. Run `hermes tools list` and confirm the `hermes-tweet` toolset is enabled.
3. Confirm `tweet_explore` is available without `XQUIK_API_KEY`.
4. Confirm `tweet_read` appears only when `XQUIK_API_KEY` is configured.
5. Confirm `tweet_action` stays hidden or disabled unless `HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS=true`.

Useful CLI checks:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-tweet
hermes tools list
```
