Automate Your X/Twitter Workflow with Hermes Tweet: A New AI Agent Skill

The Problem: Manual Social Media Monitoring Wastes Time

Managing X/Twitter presence at scale is exhausting. Whether you're monitoring brand mentions, researching competitor activity, or managing community engagement, doing it manually drains productivity. What if your AI agent could handle Twitter research, monitoring, and approved actions automatically?

That's exactly what Hermes Tweet solves—a new marketing skill for the Hermes AI agent that brings X/Twitter automation directly into your AI workflows.

Introducing Hermes Tweet

Hermes Tweet (version 0.1.6) is an open-source skill developed by Xquik that extends Hermes Agent with powerful Twitter/X capabilities. It lets your AI agent:

  • Search and explore tweets with native Twitter search
  • Read tweet replies and details for deeper context
  • Look up user profiles and analytics
  • Monitor tweet activity in real-time
  • Export followers for analysis
  • Gate X actions through Xquik's secure API

How It Works

Hermes Tweet uses three core tools under the hood:

tweet_explore    → Search tweets and discover content
tweet_read       → Fetch tweet details and reply threads
tweet_action     → Execute approved X/Twitter actions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The skill requires network access and environment variables for authentication:

XQUIK_API_KEY                    # Your Xquik API credentials
HERMES_TWEET_ENABLE_ACTIONS      # Enable/disable actions
HERMES_ENABLE_PROJECT_PLUGINS    # Allow trusted plugins
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Getting Started with Hermes Agent

Installing Hermes Tweet takes just two commands:

hermes plugins install Xquik-dev/hermes-tweet --enable
hermes tools list
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then set your XQUIK_API_KEY in your Hermes runtime environment—never paste it directly in chat.

Once installed, you can start using natural language prompts with your Hermes Agent:

  • "Search for tweets mentioning our product launch"
  • "Get replies to this tweet URL"
  • "Find followers of @username"
  • "Monitor mentions of our brand"

The skill handles authentication, API routing, and action gating automatically.

Why This Matters for AI Automation

Hermes Tweet bridges the gap between general-purpose AI agents and specialized social media workflows. Instead of switching between tools, your Hermes Agent now has native Twitter capabilities—perfect for:

  • Content teams researching trends
  • Community managers monitoring conversations
  • Marketing analysts tracking campaign performance
  • Growth teams discovering influencers

The skill is MIT-licensed and actively maintained by the Xquik team.
