# X Bookmark Research
A Claude Code skill that transforms your Twitter/X bookmarks into structured, actionable research notes.
## What It Does
When you bookmark interesting tweets, this skill processes them into organized markdown files with:
- **Key insights** extracted from the content
- **Author context** (who they are, why their perspective matters)
- **Personal relevance** connected to your configured interests and projects
- **Action items** so bookmarks become actionable, not forgotten
## Dependencies
### Required
- **[bird CLI](https://github.com/steipete/bird)** - Command-line tool for Twitter/X API access
- Install: `npm install -g @steipete/bird`
- Uses cookie authentication from your browser (Safari/Chrome/Firefox)
- Used to fetch bookmarks, read tweets, and look up author profiles
### Optional
- **Exa MCP Server** - Only needed for `--depth deep` research mode
- Provides web search for broader context around tweet topics
- The skill gracefully degrades to `standard` depth without it
## Configuration
This skill reads its settings from `~/.claude/skills/x-bookmark-research/config.yml`.
Copy the example config to get started:
```bash
cp ~/.claude/skills/x-bookmark-research/config.example.yml ~/.claude/skills/x-bookmark-research/config.yml
```
Then edit `config.yml` with your output directory and interests.
## Usage
Invoke via the slash command:
```
/research-bookmarks # Interactive - asks how many and what depth
/research-bookmarks 5 # Process 5 recent bookmarks
/research-bookmarks all # Process all unprocessed bookmarks
/research-bookmarks <url> # Research a specific tweet
/research-bookmarks 10 --depth deep # 10 bookmarks with web research
```
