X bookmark triage

x-bookmark-triage

Turns X/Twitter bookmarks into searchable, tiered knowledge cards posted to a Discord channel. Captures, scores, and optionally unbookmarks — so your bookmark list stays clean and your knowledge base grows automatically.

Works standalone — no OpenClaw required for core triage. OpenClaw integration is optional (adds scheduled polling via cron and bus events). See references/adapting.md for standalone setup.

Prerequisites

Requirement	Notes
X OAuth 2.0 app	developer.x.com — Free tier works
Scopes	bookmark.read (required) + bookmark.write (for unbookmark)
Discord bot token	Needs Send Messages permission in target channel
Anthropic API key	ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_KEY env var
Node.js 18+	Scripts use spawnSync, no npm deps

Quick Start (8-step MVP)

1. Get credentials:

   • X OAuth 2.0 app: Create at developer.x.com — Free tier. See references/oauth-setup.md for step-by-step.
   • Discord bot token: Create at discord.com/developers — Bot needs Send Messages permission in your target channel.
   • Anthropic API key: From console.anthropic.com

2. Run auth flow: node scripts/x-oauth2-authorize.js → saves refresh token to data/x-oauth2-token-cache.json

3. Set env vars: Export X_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID, X_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET, X_OAUTH2_REFRESH_TOKEN, DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_KEY

4. Set your Discord channel: Set env var KNOWLEDGE_INTAKE_CHANNEL_ID=<your-channel-id> (preferred), OR edit scripts/triage-url.js line 19 to hardcode it.

5. Test triage: node scripts/triage-url.js https://x.com/@username/status/1234567890 --source "manual drop"

6. Check Discord: You should see a formatted card in your channel

7. Verify dedup: Run the command again — should skip (already seen)

8. Done: Your first card is live. Next: set up scheduling (see Steps 3–4 below)

Setup

1. OAuth 2.0 Authorization

# Run the interactive auth flow
node scripts/x-oauth2-authorize.js
# → Opens browser, captures callback, saves to data/x-oauth2-token-cache.json

Store credentials in your gateway plist (or env):

X_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID     — app OAuth 2.0 client ID
X_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET — app OAuth 2.0 client secret
X_OAUTH2_REFRESH_TOKEN — from auth flow (auto-rotated by scripts)

The scripts also fall back to reading refresh_token from a secrets JSON file at runtime. See references/oauth-setup.md for full details.

2. Configure Target Channel

Set CHANNEL_ID at the top of scripts/triage-url.js to your Discord channel ID.

3. Register the Scheduled Poll (Optional — for automated polling)

# Register a cron job (9 AM + 5 PM daily)
# In OpenClaw: cron add — see references/cron-setup.md
# You can also run manually: node scripts/bookmark-poll.js

Alternatively, drain all bookmarks one-time:

node scripts/backlog-sweep.js --delay 3

4. Register the launchd Poller (Optional — for automated polling)

Note: scripts/ai.watson.knowledge-intake-poll.plist is a template. Customize it first:

1. Edit the file to replace /PATH/TO/skills/x-bookmark-triage/scripts/poll-channel.js with the actual path
2. Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN, YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY, YOUR_CHANNEL_ID, /PATH/TO/workspace with real values
3. Copy to LaunchAgents and load:

# After customizing the plist:
cp scripts/ai.watson.knowledge-intake-poll.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.watson.knowledge-intake-poll.plist

Or use OpenClaw to manage it — see references/cron-setup.md.

Scripts

triage-url.js — Core triage engine

node scripts/triage-url.js <url> [--source "bookmark poll"|"manual drop"|"backlog sweep"]

• Fetches content (fxtwitter for tweets, markdown.new for web pages)
• Triages with Claude Haiku → produces tier, freshness, topic, tags, proposed action
• Posts formatted card to Discord
• Marks URL as seen in data/knowledge-intake-seen.json
• Exits 0 on success or "already seen"; exits 1 on hard failure

bookmark-poll.js — Scheduled sweep (latest 20)

node scripts/bookmark-poll.js

• Refreshes OAuth token, fetches 20 most recent bookmarks
• Calls triage-url.js for each unseen URL
• Unbookmarks after successful triage (+ already-seen items)
• Emits bookmark_sweep_complete to bus

backlog-sweep.js — One-time full drain

node scripts/backlog-sweep.js [--dry-run] [--limit 50] [--delay 3] [--no-unbookmark]

• Pages through ALL bookmarks (up to API limit)
• --dry-run: list URLs without triaging or unbookmarking
• --limit N: stop after N bookmarks
• --delay N: seconds between triage calls (default: 3)
• Emits backlog_sweep_complete to bus

poll-channel.js — Discord drop handler

node scripts/poll-channel.js
# Or via wrapper: bash scripts/run-poll.sh

• Polls a Discord channel every 2 min for new messages
• Extracts URLs from message content
• Calls triage-url.js for each unseen URL
• Intended to run as a persistent launchd service

Card Format

Tier 3–10 (work-relevant):

🗂️ **Title** @handle

• The Miracle: what's new/impressive
• Why it matters: connection to your work
• Key Features: [list]
• Proposed Action: specific next step
• Tier: 🥈 Tier 2 — Worth tracking (7/10) — relevance summary
• Freshness: 🌿 evergreen | Topic: #ai
• Tags: #tool #infra
• Link: <url>

Tier 1–2 (off-topic/personal):

📌 **Title** @handle — one-liner summary #personal <url>

Tier Guide

Tier	Label	Meaning
9–10	🥇 Act now	Implement this week
7–8	🥈 Worth tracking	Thread + investigate soon
5–6	🥉 Knowledge doc	Revisit in a sprint
3–4	📌 Low priority	Interesting, not actionable
1–2	📌 Off-topic	Personal/entertainment — one-liner only

Freshness Values

• evergreen 🌿 — timeless, still valid in 2 years
• dated 📅 — relevant but will age (benchmarks, roadmaps)
• expired ⏰ — time-sensitive, likely already stale

Topic Values (one per card)

#ai · #veefriends · #product · #revenue · #openclaw · #personal · #x-strategy

Token / Cost Estimate

Each triage call: ~3.5K avg input + 300 output tokens (claude-haiku-4-5)

• Per URL: ~$0.003
• 20 new bookmarks/run: ~$0.06
• 2 runs/day at typical throughput: ~$3.60/month
• Full 1000-bookmark backlog: ~$3.50

Seen-URL Deduplication

URLs are tracked in data/knowledge-intake-seen.json. Cap: 2,000 entries (FIFO). Bookmarks already in the seen cache are still unbookmarked — they were captured in a prior run.

Refresh Token Rotation

X rotates refresh tokens on each use. The scripts:

1. Detect rotation (new token in response)
2. Save new token to data/x-oauth2-new-refresh-token.txt
3. Log a warning to update the plist env var

Watson auto-detects and updates the secrets file. For non-Watson deployments, monitor for this warning and update X_OAUTH2_REFRESH_TOKEN in your env.
