Guided walkthroughs. Each one starts from nothing and ends with something working, and every command in them has been run.
If you would rather read code than prose, the examples/
directory has the same material as short runnable programs.
| # | Tutorial | Time | You end up with |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Your first scrape | 5 min | Real profile and timeline data, from the terminal and from Node |
| 02 | Claude that can use X | 10 min | Claude Desktop or Cursor driving 152 XActions MCP tools, behind an approval gate |
| 03 | Clean up your following list | 20 min | A safe, reviewed unfollow of accounts that do not follow back |
| 04 | Build a brand monitor | 30 min | A running service that watches X and alerts you on negative mentions |
| 05 | Read any account like an analyst | 15 min | A defensible read on how any account performs, and how two differ |
| 06 | Everything is JSON | 20 min | XActions inside your own pipelines: jq, cron, exit codes, tab completion |
| 07 | Read your own X archive | 15 min | Your X data export as JSON, CSV, Markdown and HTML, and staged for Bluesky or Mastodon |
Work through them in order the first time. Each assumes the setup from the one before it. Tutorials 01, 05, 06 and 07 need no X account at all: 07 does not even go online.
Never used the CLI before? xactions quickstart is the thirty-second version of
tutorial 01, and adapts to what you already have set up. xactions doctor is
the one to run when something is not behaving: it tests the guest tier for real
and names the fix for anything it finds.
claude-prompts/ is a different thing: 23 ready-to-paste
prompts that hand an AI assistant a complete task brief. Paste one into Claude,
Cursor, or ChatGPT and it has the context to do the job.
| Area | Prompts |
|---|---|
| Setup and CLI | 01, 15, 16 |
| Follower management | 02, 03, 07 |
| Content | 05, 12, 13, 17 |
| Research and analytics | 04, 06, 14, 18 |
| Automation | 09, 19, 21, 23 |
| Account and safety | 08, 11, 20 |
