## What it does

The skill gives agents read-only access to thirteen `twitterapi.io` endpoints through the `sc-proxy` gateway. It runs Python scripts to pull tweet contents or user bios. Because `TWITTER_API_KEY` is injected server-side by the proxy, no local API keys are required on the host machine.

Tweet IDs extracted from `x.com` or `twitter.com` URLs must be passed as strings, preventing integer precision loss in Python. Handles must be formatted without the leading `@` symbol. For account monitoring, running an advanced search query with timestamps is significantly cheaper than fetching recent user posts, which always bills a full twenty-item batch.
