hermes-tweet
by Xquik-devUse hermes-tweet to automate or inspect X through Xquik in Hermes Agent. It supports endpoint discovery, read-only routes, and approved actions like posting, replies, likes, retweets, follows, DMs, monitors, extraction jobs, draws, and media operations.
This skill scores 71/100, which means it is a viable directory listing with clear enough operator guidance for agents to use it, but users should expect a somewhat narrow, API-centric workflow and a few adoption gaps. The repository provides real trigger rules and stepwise decision logic, so it offers more install value than a generic prompt, though it would benefit from more supporting assets and examples.
- Clear triggerability for Hermes Agent sessions that need X/Twitter data or controlled X actions through Xquik
- Concrete workflow rules distinguish discovery, read-only, and action paths via tweet_explore, tweet_read, and tweet_action
- Non-placeholder content with valid frontmatter, substantial body length, and explicit decision rules for endpoint/method handling
- No install command, support files, or reference assets, so setup and adoption details are light
- The workflow is centered on Xquik/Hermes Agent API use, which may be too specialized for users wanting broader X automation guidance
Overview of hermes-tweet skill
What hermes-tweet does
The hermes-tweet skill helps Hermes Agent work with X through Xquik: discover endpoints, inspect read-only routes, and execute approved actions like posting, replies, likes, retweets, follows, DMs, monitors, extraction jobs, draws, and media operations.
Who it is for
Use the hermes-tweet skill if you need a structured way to query Xquik from an agent instead of hand-writing API guesses. It is best for users who already know they need X/Twitter automation or data access and want fewer trial-and-error calls.
Why it is different
The main value of hermes-tweet is its endpoint-first workflow. It pushes you to discover the route before acting, separates read-only access from write or private operations, and reduces accidental misuse of Xquik endpoints.
How to Use hermes-tweet skill
Install hermes-tweet
Run the skill install command in your Hermes Agent setup, or add it through your skill manager if that is how your environment handles skills. The practical hermes-tweet install step is to make sure the skill is available before you ask the agent to work against Xquik.
Start with endpoint discovery
For hermes-tweet usage, do not ask the agent to “post a tweet” or “check mentions” in the abstract. Instead, give the job, then let the skill map it to the right Xquik endpoint. The repository recommends tweet_explore first for capability or route discovery, tweet_read for known public GET endpoints, and tweet_action only for approved actions or private reads.
Write stronger prompts
A good hermes-tweet guide prompt includes the goal, the account context, and the operation type. For example: “Find the Xquik endpoint for reading recent mentions for account A, then show the exact payload needed.” This is better than “manage my X account” because it tells the skill whether to explore, read, or act.
Read these files first
Open SKILL.md first, then inspect any linked instructions in your Hermes Agent workspace if present. In this repository, the skill body centers on When to Use, Workflow, and Decision Rules, which are the fastest path to understanding how hermes-tweet should be triggered and when it should stop short of action.
hermes-tweet skill FAQ
Is hermes-tweet only for X/Twitter automation?
Yes, this skill is specifically for Xquik and X/Twitter-related workflows inside Hermes Agent. It is not a general social media automation skill, even though hermes-tweet for Social Media can cover many X-adjacent tasks like publishing, monitoring, and extraction.
When should I not use it?
Do not use hermes-tweet if you only want a generic prompt about social media strategy, or if you do not need endpoint-level control. It is also a poor fit if you cannot approve actions, because the skill distinguishes read-only work from operations that change account state.
Is it beginner-friendly?
It is beginner-friendly if you can describe the outcome you want and are willing to let the skill identify the API route. It is less friendly if you expect one-shot natural language control without specifying whether the task is discovery, read-only access, or a write action.
How is it different from a normal prompt?
A normal prompt may ask the model to “do X stuff,” while hermes-tweet enforces a safer workflow: discover the endpoint, verify whether it is read-only, then act only with the correct permissions. That structure matters when you care about reliability and avoiding the wrong Xquik call.
How to Improve hermes-tweet skill
Give the skill the right intent
The biggest quality gain comes from clearly labeling the task as explore, read, or action. For example, “Explore the endpoint for searching recent posts” will usually produce a better result than “search X for me” because the skill can choose tweet_explore correctly.
Include the endpoint context
If you already know the route or method, say so. hermes-tweet works better when you provide the exact endpoint name, whether it is GET, and whether it touches private data. That helps the skill decide between tweet_read and tweet_action without guessing.
Make constraints explicit
Tell the skill what must not happen: no posting, no account changes, no DMs, no writes, or no private reads unless approved. This is especially useful for hermes-tweet skill workflows where the wrong action can be more costly than a slightly incomplete answer.
Iterate from discovery to execution
Use the first output to confirm the endpoint, required payload, and permission level, then rerun with a narrower request. The best hermes-tweet results come from a two-step loop: discover the route, then issue a precise execution prompt with the exact action and payload.
