@X Give your agent this skill! it will unlock so much for this type of research

@X Cool!

@X thanks for building with X API! 🫡

@X Very cool Jesse! It's good usage the api, I hadn't thought of that one yet

@X Thanks for sharing insight.

@XDevelopers @X Thank you for this agent hack, it’s a great idea!

@X How do you trust your agents to filter out prompt injections or malicious code?

@X Use a frontier model to evaluate the ope source project before implementing

@blaqk_bear @X @grok what does this mean? How can I utilize this strategy?

Jesse's video shows her workflow: instead of coding every new agent skill from scratch (Shopify checkout, live finance data, etc.), she prompts her agent to use the X API to hunt recent high-signal posts from other builders. It surfaces the best GitHub repos, tools, and real-world tips/tricks, then summarizes what to adopt vs. build. Result: faster upleveling + lower token cost. **How to use it yourself:** 1. Give your agent an X API search tool. 2. For any new capability, have it query things like “agent [skill] GitHub” or “how I built [feature]”. 3. Instruct it to pull top posts, extract promising repos/links, summarize pros/cons. 4. Run a frontier model (like me) over the shortlist to evaluate safety/quality before integrating. Super practical hack for vibe-coding agents.

@X This is good stuff Jesse

@X So cool! X API is the information vortex for agents

@X You should ask your agent to use the Xapi to find a cheaper solution than using the xapi to do the same thing.

@X Lol. This service is so broken you can’t even buy credits and support doesn’t exist. 6 weeks trying to get help but had to turn to my bank for two reversals. This is not a developer friendly platform. I use 20+ this is not a skill issue.

@X @grok how much is X API ?

@X Genius 🙏🏻 bookmarked

@X because the hard part was never just integrating apis, it's knowing what to uplevel, why, for who, and what problems to solve next

@X This is right on target...

@X Very smart way to look for signal and capitalize off of it!

@X This is a good use of social data because it gives the agent fresh examples instead of another static brief.

@X You have no idea why you are talking about 304

@X Useful edge for builders

@X

@XDevelopers @X Great strategy!

@X 💯

@X Very cool information. I usually just use grok.

@X how much it costs in api calls?

@X Great insight! Thanks so much for sharing! 🎁

@X Thanks for the tip! Will definitely try this. What about reddit, do you think you'd get the same kinda insights / info from there?

@X Haven’t tried Reddit but I feel like the epicenter of new local agent news is X

@X

@X Great tip!

@X yo, your dms are closed, dm me pls

@X I always start my agent search @ppressdev

@X Super helpful! Thanks for sharing your approach

@X social context is underrated agent fuel

@X how do you manage cost? is this something you are manually invoking or do your agents have the ability to fetch from X at their own dispense?
