InstallRead 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.

npx skills@1.7.4 add aden-hive/hive --skill hive.x-automationWhat it can touch
From the files and frontmatter at commit 3ee47a3. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
What it can touch: Scripts or outside hosts
Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.
Names web addresses
It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.
Pattern check
Pattern check: nothing flagged · commit 3ee47a3 · 27 Oct 2026
We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 3ee47a3 on 27 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specFails
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Error
The name "hive.x-automation" doesn't match its folder "x-automation". The spec requires them to match. N4
Fix: Set name: x-automation, or rename the folder to hive-x-automation.
- Error
The name "hive.x-automation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7
Fix: Use name: hive-x-automation and rename the folder to match.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Error
Claude CodePasses
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Note
The name "hive.x-automation" doesn't match its folder "x-automation". Claude Code shows the skill as /hive.x-automation, and the folder name also invokes it. N4
Fix: Set name: x-automation, or rename the folder to hive-x-automation.
- Note
Claude apps & API uploadFails
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Error
The name "hive.x-automation" doesn't match its folder "x-automation". claude.ai refuses an upload whose folder name doesn't match the skill name. N4
Fix: Set name: x-automation, or rename the folder to hive-x-automation.
- Error
The name "hive.x-automation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7
Fix: Use name: hive-x-automation and rename the folder to match.
- Note
The description is 351 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Error
OpenAI (Codex & API)Fails
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Error
The name "hive.x-automation" contains ".". Only a–z, 0–9 and hyphens are allowed. N7
Fix: Use name: hive-x-automation and rename the folder to match.
- Warning
The name "hive.x-automation" doesn't match its folder "x-automation". OpenAI's own upload example uses a differently named folder, but the spec it follows says they must match. N4
Fix: Set name: x-automation, or rename the folder to hive-x-automation.
- Error
VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings
VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.
- Warning
The name "hive.x-automation" doesn't match its folder "x-automation". VS Code uses the folder name, x-automation, instead. N4
Fix: Set name: x-automation, or rename the folder to hive-x-automation.
- Warning
The name "hive.x-automation" contains ".". VS Code's docs say such a name fails to load; VS Code falls back to the folder name. N7
Fix: Use name: hive-x-automation and rename the folder to match.

hive.browser-automation
aden-hive/hive
Required before any hive-browser CLI command. The browser is driven from the terminal by running `hive-browser <command> ... --json` via terminal_exec — not via MCP tools. Teaches the browser lifecycle rules (the bridge attaches to the USER'S running Chrome — never kill or launch browser processes; timeouts are transport issues, not crashes), the screenshot + coordinate workflow (hive-browser interact with a fractional coordinate) that reaches shadow-DOM inputs selectors can't see, the viewport-fraction coordinate rule (not pixels), rich-text editor quirks ("send button stays disabled" failures), and CSP gotchas. Covers Chrome via CDP through the GCU Beeline extension.

hive.chart-creation-foundations
aden-hive/hive
Required reading whenever any chart_* tool is available. Teaches the one-tool embedding contract (call chart_render → live chart appears in chat AND a downloadable PNG lands in the queen session dir), the ECharts (data viz) vs Mermaid (structural diagrams) decision, the BI/financial-grade aesthetic baseline (no chartjunk, restrained palette, proper typography, single message per chart), and the canonical spec patterns for the 12 most-common chart types. Skipping this leads to 1990s-Excel charts, missing downloads, and the agent writing markdown image links by hand instead of letting chart_render drive the UI.

hive.image-generation
aden-hive/hive
Required before calling image_generate. Create and edit images from a prompt — generate an image, make a picture / logo / illustration / icon / banner / poster / thumbnail / hero image / mockup / product shot / social graphic, or edit / restyle / combine existing images from reference images. Uses OpenAI gpt-image-2 through the Hive image service, billed to the user's Hive credits like an LLM call (no API key needed). Teaches the exact call shape, the quality/cost tradeoff (quality="low" is the default and cheapest), reference-image editing, how to show the result to the user with attach_file, and the failure modes (out of credits, model unavailable, moderation).
