X (Twitter) Skillset Guide

Overview

The X (Twitter) Skillset is a collection of tools connected to your X (formerly Twitter) account. Once enabled, the AI agent can act on your behalf to post tweets, search, reply, and send direct messages, making creation and engagement more efficient.

This skillset currently includes:

• Post a tweet
• Search tweets
• Reply to a tweet
• Send a direct message

Setup

The X (Twitter) Skillset relies on Twitter's APIs. You must provide an API Key and API Secret in the configuration before it can be used. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Get your Twitter API Key and Secret

1. Visit the Twitter Developer Platform and sign up or log in.
2. Create a new Developer Project and App.
3. Open your app settings and go to the Keys and Tokens page.
4. Generate and copy your API Key and API Secret Key.
5. Return to the Twitter Skillset configuration page in Bika and paste the Key and Secret.
6. Click Connect to finish linking your account.

⚠️ The process to create a developer account and app can be involved. See the help doc X (Twitter) OAuth 2.0 Integration, especially “Step 1: Create a Twitter App,” for a detailed walkthrough.

Step 2: Choose and enable skills

On the skillset configuration page, each capability has a toggle switch.

• Enable multiple skills as needed
• Click Save to apply changes

Usage examples

Below are common prompts for each capability:

1) Post a tweet

Have the AI publish a tweet for you:

Example prompt: “Post a tweet that says ‘Hello, world!’”

2) Search tweets

Have the AI quickly find relevant tweets:

Example prompt: “Search for the latest 5 tweets about ‘AI’.”

3) Reply to a tweet

Have the AI help you engage with other users:

Example prompt: “Reply to this tweet (tweet_id: xxxx) with ‘Great post!’”

4) Send a direct message

Have the AI send a DM on your behalf:

Example prompt: “Send a DM to the user (user_id: xxxx) that says ‘Hello!’”

📌 Tip:
You can obtain the recipient’s user_id from their profile URL. For example:
in https://twitter.com/username, the username is the user’s ID.

FAQ

• If linking fails, double-check that the Key and Secret are correct and that the necessary permissions are enabled.
• If a capability doesn’t work, make sure its toggle is enabled in the Skillset configuration and click Save.
• Twitter APIs have rate limits. Heavy use may trigger limits—try again later or upgrade to a paid tier for higher quotas.
