Hi — my skill xint was flagged as suspicious after publishing.
I believe this is a false positive.
Happy to provide any additional context needed.

Skill: xint
Slug: xint
Repo: https://github.com/0xNyk/xint

What xint does:

xint is an X/Twitter intelligence CLI — it searches X, analyzes bookmarks/likes, tracks trends, and pipes results
into Grok AI. It's a spiritual successor to twint, rebuilt for 2026 with Bun + TypeScript. MIT licensed.

Likely flag triggers and why they're legitimate:

  • lib/oauth.ts — Implements standard OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow for X API v2 authentication. This is the officially
    documented auth method from X's developer docs. No credentials are stored beyond the user's own tokens.
  • lib/engagement.ts — Analyzes engagement metrics on tweets (likes, retweets, reply ratios). It reads data, it
    does not automate engagement actions (no auto-liking, no auto-following, no spam).
  • lib/followers.ts — Retrieves follower/following data for analysis. Read-only — no follow/unfollow automation.
  • lib/api.ts — Makes authenticated HTTP requests to X's public API endpoints. Standard API client patterns.
  • lib/grok.ts — Pipes retrieved data to xAI's Grok API for analysis. Standard API integration, user provides
    their own API key.

No malicious patterns:

  • No credential exfiltration — tokens are stored locally in the user's own config directory
  • No automation of social actions (no auto-follow, auto-like, auto-post)
  • No scraping beyond standard API usage
  • No obfuscated code
  • All source is public and MIT licensed

Would appreciate a review when you get a chance. Happy to answer any questions or make changes if needed.
