Archive your X (Twitter) bookmarks into categorized
# X Bookmark Archiver
Archive your X (Twitter) bookmarks into categorized markdown files with AI-generated summaries.
## Overview
This skill fetches your X bookmarks using the [bird CLI](https://github.com/steipete/bird), categorizes them by URL patterns, generates AI summaries using OpenAI, and saves them as organized markdown files.
## Prerequisites
1. **bird CLI** - Install from [steipete/bird](https://github.com/steipete/bird)
2. **OpenAI API Key** (optional) - Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for AI-generated summaries
3. **Node.js 18+**
## Installation
```bash
# Ensure bird CLI is installed and authenticated
bird --version
# Set OpenAI API key (optional, for AI summaries)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
```
## Commands
### `run` - Full Pipeline
Fetches new bookmarks and processes them:
```bash
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/run.cjs
```
### `run --force` - Process Existing
Skip fetch, process only pending bookmarks:
```bash
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/run.cjs --force
```
### `fetch` - Download Bookmarks Only
```bash
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/fetch.cjs
```
### `process` - Archive Pending Only
```bash
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/process.cjs
```
## Category Mapping
Bookmarks are automatically categorized based on URL patterns:
| Category | Domains |
|----------|---------|
| **tools** | github.com, gitlab.com, github.io, huggingface.co, replicate.com, vercel.com, npmjs.com, pypi.org |
| **articles** | medium.com, substack.com, dev.to, hashnode.dev, x.com/i/article, blog.*, towardsdatascience.com |
| **videos** | youtube.com, youtu.be, vimeo.com, twitch.tv |
| **research** | arxiv.org, paperswithcode.com, semanticscholar.org, researchgate.net, dl.acm.org, ieee.org |
| **news** | techcrunch.com, theverge.com, hn.algolia.com, news.ycombinator.com, wired.com, arstechnica.com |
| **bookmarks** | *fallback for unmatched URLs* |
## Output Location
Markdown files are created in the **OpenClaw workspace** at:
**Legacy installs (old name):**
```
~/clawd/X-knowledge/
```
**New installs:**
```
~/.openclaw/workspace/X-knowledge/
```
**With profile (`OPENCLAW_PROFILE=prod`):**
```
~/.openclaw/workspace-prod/X-knowledge/
```
**Override with environment variable:**
```bash
export OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE=/custom/path
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/run.cjs
# Creates: /custom/path/X-knowledge/
```
## Output Structure

```
## Markdown Template
Each archived bookmark gets a markdown file with frontmatter:
```markdown
---
title: "Awesome AI Project"
type: tool
date_archived: 2026-01-31
source_tweet: https://x.com/i/web/status/1234567890
link: https://github.com/user/repo
tags: ["ai", "machine-learning", "github"]
---
This project implements a novel approach to... (AI-generated summary)
```
## State Management
State files track processing progress:
```
/root/clawd/.state/
├── x-bookmark-pending.json # Bookmarks waiting to be processed
└── x-bookmark-processed.json # IDs of already-archived bookmarks
```
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|----------|----------|-------------|
| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | No | API key for AI-generated summaries |
## Workflow
1. **Fetch**: Downloads latest 50 bookmarks from X
2. **Filter**: Removes already-processed bookmarks
3. **Expand**: Resolves t.co shortened URLs
4. **Categorize**: Assigns category based on URL domain
5. **Enrich**: Generates title, summary, tags (AI or fallback)
6. **Write**: Saves as markdown in `X-knowledge/{category}/`
7. **Track**: Updates processed IDs, clears pending
## Customization
### Adding Categories
Edit `scripts/lib/categorize.cjs`:
```javascript
const CATEGORIES = {
tools: ['github.com', '...'],
your_category: ['example.com', '...'],
// ...
};
```
### Changing Output Directory
Edit `scripts/process.cjs`:
```javascript
const KNOWLEDGE_DIR = 'your-directory-name';
```
### Using Different AI Provider
Modify the `generateMetadata()` function in `scripts/process.cjs` to use your preferred API.
## Testing
Run the test suite:
```bash
# Run all tests
cd skills/x-bookmark-archiver/tests
node test-all.cjs
# Run individual test suites
node lib/categorize.test.cjs
node lib/state.test.cjs
node integration.test.cjs
```
### Test Coverage
- **Unit tests**: `categorize.js` (21 tests) - URL pattern matching
- **Unit tests**: `state.js` (9 tests) - JSON read/write operations
- **Integration tests** (12 tests) - Full pipeline with mock data
### Manual Testing
Without bird CLI, you can test with mock data:
```bash
# Create mock pending data
cat > /tmp/test-pending.json << 'EOF'
[
{
"id": "test123",
"url": "https://github.com/test/repo",
"text": "Test bookmark"
}
]
EOF
# Copy to state directory and process
mkdir -p /root/clawd/.state
cp /tmp/test-pending.json /root/clawd/.state/x-bookmark-pending.json
node skills/x-bookmark-archiver/scripts/process.cjs
```
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| `bird: command not found` | Install bird CLI from GitHub releases |
| No bookmarks fetched | Ensure you're logged into X in bird |
| AI summaries not generating | Check `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set |
| t.co links not expanding | May be network/timeout issues; will use original URL |
