Read before automating X / Twitter with browser_* tools. Verified flows for post, reply, delete, search-and-engage, plus the Draft.js compose quirks that silently disable the send button. Includes the daily-reply and job-market-reply playbooks. Requires hive.browser-automation for the underlying screenshot + coordinate workflow. Verified 2026-04-11.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# X / Twitter Automation

X uses **Draft.js** (the original Facebook rich-text editor) for the compose text area, which was the original canary for all the rich-text editor quirks the `browser-automation` skill now documents. Most of the site is otherwise stable — `data-testid` attributes have held up for years, the SPA is reasonably honest about what it renders, and shadow DOM is minimal. The hard parts are the composer, rate limiting, and the occasional anti-bot challenge.

**Always activate `browser-automation` first.** This skill assumes you already know about CSS-px coordinates, click-first typing, and `Input.insertText`. The guidance below is X-specific.

## Timing expectations

- `browser_navigate(wait_until="load")` returns in **1.3–1.6 s** on a warm cache.
- After navigation, **`sleep(2–3)`** for SPA hydration before querying selectors.
- Compose modal slide-in: **~1.5 s** after clicking reply / compose.
- First 1–2 characters typed into the compose editor **may be dropped** — see "Draft.js quirks" below.

## Verified selectors (2026-04-11)

| Target | Selector |
|---|---|
| Home nav link | `a[data-testid='AppTabBar_Home_Link']` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aden-hive/hive/hive.x-automation@sha256:2732e9e53265281f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
