Turn a Markdown draft into a formatted X Article with cover image and inline images, preview in Chrome, then publish when you are ready.

About

baoyu-post-to-x is an agent skill backed by a Bun script that opens Google Chrome and loads your Markdown into the X Articles editor with formatting and images. Solo and indie builders who write essays, launch threads as articles, or repurpose blog Markdown for X can stay in one source file instead of reformatting by hand. Frontmatter and the first H1 supply the title; cover and inline images are resolved locally or downloaded to a temp folder before placeholder replacement in the UI. Preview mode is the default so you can review layout before `--submit` actually publishes. You need an X Premium subscription for Articles, Chrome installed, and Bun available for the script runner. It fits the launch phase when distribution is the bottleneck, not when you are still validating copy or building the product itself.

  • CLI via `npx -y bun` and `x-article.ts` with default preview and `--submit` to publish
  • YAML frontmatter for title and cover (`cover_image`, `cover`, `image` aliases)
  • Maps Markdown (headers, lists, blockquotes, links) into X Article rich text; code blocks become blockquotes
  • Downloads remote images, uses `XIMGPH_N` placeholders, then inserts images in the editor
  • Optional custom cover: `--cover ./cover.jpg`

Troubleshooting

Chrome debug port not ready

If a script fails with Chrome debug port not ready or Unable to connect, kill existing Chrome CDP instances first, then retry:

pkill -f "Chrome.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; pkill -f "Chromium.*remote-debugging-port" 2>/dev/null; sleep 2

Important: This should be done automatically — when encountering this error, kill Chrome CDP instances and retry the command without asking the user.

Notes

  • First run: manual login required (session persists)
  • All scripts only fill content into the browser, user must review and publish manually
  • Cross-platform: macOS, Linux, Windows

Extension Support

Custom configurations via EXTEND.md. See Preferences section for paths and supported options.

OpenClaw Migration Notes

  • Migration mode: OpenClaw native first
  • Preserved directories:
  • scripts: yes
  • references: yes
  • prompts: no
  • External dependencies: bun, chrome, external-ai-api, social-platform-access
  • Risk level: high
  • Environment variables (detected): HOME, X_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH
  • Config compatibility: keep original .baoyu-skills/<skill>/EXTEND.md behavior and add OpenClaw-compatible path in runtime wrappers when needed.

OpenClaw Preflight Checks

  • Confirm bun is available when script examples use npx -y bun ....
  • Confirm Chrome is installed and launchable for CDP/browser automation flows.
  • Confirm required API credentials are exported before execution.
  • Confirm account session/cookies are valid before posting or scraping operations.

Detected env vars: HOME, X_BROWSER_CHROME_PATH

OpenClaw Failure Fallback

  • If runtime dependency is missing, stop execution and return exact install/setup command.
  • If API call fails, suggest retry with explicit provider/model flags and validate key scope.
  • If browser automation fails, switch to manual/wait mode where available.
  • If platform blocks automation, return manual publish/export instructions instead of retry loops.
  • For high-risk workflows, require explicit user confirmation before irreversible actions.
