Does it download the images from the tweets?

The skill extracts the media URLs and notes the presence of images or videos in the markdown file, but it does not download the raw media files to your local storage.

Can it handle private or age-restricted tweets?

The skill includes a login check step. If the content requires authentication, the workflow allows you to log in manually via the automated browser before extraction proceeds.

Do I need an extra tool to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the Playwright MCP server to be configured and running in your environment to handle the browser automation required for extraction.

How does it handle very long threads?

The skill systematically scrolls through the page and clicks all 'Show more' buttons to ensure the entire sequence is captured from start to finish without truncation.

What is the final file format?

The output is a standard .md (Markdown) file featuring an H1 title, author metadata, source URL, and sequentially organized tweets separated by horizontal rules.
