Find X Articles (the long-form post type on X) that pass a view threshold, keep them in a local dataset with a CSV, and tag each one with one of 22 broad topics. Use to find, track or refresh high-performing X Articles ("find articles over 100k views", "what articles are blowing up this week"). Needs an Apify account for the scans and the claude CLI for tagging.

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 ARTICLES FINDER
 
What this is: the finder behind the public dataset of X Articles over 100k views (research by @fuckgrowth, Sep 2026). It searches X for posts that link an X Article, keeps the articles over a view threshold, merges them into a local state file and rewrites a CSV after every run, and a second script tags every article with one broad topic through the claude CLI. The dataset it built is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GIl5AAbi5VD34plMPaeoU60zh2Q3pWfyCOKvjsTlZ4Q (CSV: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GIl5AAbi5VD34plMPaeoU60zh2Q3pWfyCOKvjsTlZ4Q/export?format=csv&gid=0) and the research built on it is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/10UnoOKmYl0bzqpYmE2QeTlkMG8sZvU-zezulmgWfeNg .
 
## INSTALL
1. Save this folder as `~/.claude/skills/x-articles/` with `SKILL.md` and `scripts/` (find_articles.py, tag_articles.py, lang_check.py, coverage_check.py).
2. Python 3.9 or newer; the finder uses the standard library only.
3. An Apify account and API token, exported as `APIFY_TOKEN` (the finder reads nothing else for credentials): `export APIFY_TOKEN=...`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kenashe/x-article-toolkit/x-articles@sha256:297598efc280fe6a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.3d8f8f0, 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.
