X Article Publisher

What it does

X Article Publisher automates creating draft articles in X's (Twitter) Articles editor from Markdown files. It parses Markdown, converts to rich text/HTML, helps upload a cover image, and opens a browser session to save the draft (it never auto-publishes). The included scripts support parsing, clipboard copying of HTML, and a one‑click publish flow that handles authentication and browser automation.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user wants to publish or draft a long-form article from a local Markdown file or URL to X Articles (formerly Twitter Articles). Triggers include phrases like “publish to X”, “post article to Twitter”, “X article”, or when the user asks to convert Markdown to rich text for X. It is intended for users with X Premium+ accounts (required for Articles).

What's included

• Scripts: publish_article.py (one‑click draft creation), parse_markdown.py (extracts title, images, HTML), copy_to_clipboard.py (copy image/HTML).
• References: none bundled.
• Instructions: detailed setup for persistent authentication (auth_manager.py), headless or visible browser modes, and manual steps for final cover upload and publishing. The skill enforces rules: never auto-publish and keep cover upload as a manual step.

Compatible agents

Works with agents that can run local Python scripts and control a browser (Claude/Code-style agents or local automation agents). The skill expects a desktop environment for browser automation and an X Premium account.
