Summary

The creator downloaded the open-source code of the X recommendation algorithm and packaged it as an agent skill (x-for-you-growth) in his skillsbento repo. It shows how to turn a public codebase into a reusable skill that an AI coding agent can use for advice, here on growing reach on X.

Key points

• Public code, like the X algorithm, can become an agent skill that gives an assistant domain knowledge.
• The skill is named x-for-you-growth and lives in the skills folder of donvito/skillsbento.
• Note: the link returned 'file not found' when checked, so the path may have moved.

Resources mentioned

• skillsbento – x-for-you-growth skill · repo · github.com · free
  The creator's agent skill built from the X For You algorithm code, for growth advice on X.
• X 'For You' recommendation algorithm (open-source code) · repo · github.com · free
  X's published recommendation-algorithm source code, which the skill is based on.

Try this

• Install the x-for-you-growth skill in your agent (check the repo if the path has moved).
• Turn an open-source codebase or spec into an agent skill your coding assistant can use.
