# X Import

Ingests an X (formerly Twitter) Basic Data Export (extracted ZIP — a directory of `.js` shims plus media subdirectories) into the Maxy Neo4j graph. Skill-only plugin — no MCP server, no admin tools added. The skill runs under the `specialists:database-operator` specialist, which owns bulk external-archive ingestion.

## When this applies

The admin agent delegates to `specialists:database-operator` when the operator drops an extracted X archive directory (or a `twitter-<handle>-archive.zip` reference) into chat. The specialist runs the skill's owner + participant confirmation flow before any `.js` shim is read, then dispatches the two existing ingestion surfaces:

- **Tweet stream** → `document-ingest` produces one `:KnowledgeDocument` with `source='x'` whose body is the verbatim chronological transcript of the operator's own tweets, replies, and quote-tweet authorship. `:Section` chunking is owned by `memory-classify` (document mode).
- **Direct messages** → `conversation-archive-ingest.sh --source x-dm` once per distinct `dmConversation`, producing one `:ConversationArchive` per participant set (keyed on `conversationIdentity`). Senders confirm to existing `:AdminUser` / `:Person` nodes — never auto-created.

## What this plugin is not

- **Not a new graph writer.** Every write routes through the existing `memory-ingest` surface — the document path keyed on `attachmentId` (tweet stream) writes `:KnowledgeDocument`, or the conversation-archive path keyed on `conversationIdentity` (DMs) writes `:ConversationArchive` (Task 397). Both attach `:Section` children. No bespoke `:Post`, `:DirectMessage`, `:DMThread`, `:Attachment`, or `:Thread` label is introduced; per-thread KD granularity is explicitly rejected.
- **Not a live X API client.** Archive-only — the X API is rate-limited and paid.
- **Not a retweet importer.** Retweets-without-comment are not persisted reliably in X archives; the skill drops them.

## Relationship to other plugins

- **memory** — the underlying graph-write surface used by the skill (`mcp__plugin_memory_memory__memory-write` etc.). The skill passes `source='x'` / `source='x-dm'` and `createdByAgent='x-import'` for provenance on every write.
- **document-ingest** (memory skill) — owns the tweet-stream KnowledgeDocument writes. `:Section` classification is its responsibility, not this plugin's.
- **conversation-archive** (memory skill) — owns the DM transcript writes (`:ConversationArchive` keyed on `conversationIdentity` — Task 397). The `x-dm` enum entry on `CONVERSATION_SOURCES` and the sibling normaliser in `platform/plugins/memory/mcp/src/lib/conversation-normalisers/x-dm.ts` are the only new code outside this plugin.
- **database-operator specialist** — owns execution. See [platform/templates/specialists/agents/database-operator.md](../../templates/specialists/agents/database-operator.md) external-archive ingestion clause.
