x-cli

description

Python CLI wrapper for X (Twitter) interaction using Twikit. Use when the user wants to: (1) post tweets (with text or media, including thread replies), (2) view home timeline, (3) view a user's tweets, (4) search tweets, (5) like/favorite a tweet, (6) retweet a tweet, or (7) delete a tweet. On first use, guide the user through credential setup (username, email, password, optional TOTP) or browser cookie setup. Store config in ~/.libragent/x_config.json and session cookies in ~/.libragent/x_cookies.json. Subsequent requests use the stored session without re-authentication. Triggers on requests like: "트윗 올려줘", "트위터 피드 보여줘", "post a tweet", "like tweet", "retweet", "delete tweet".

X (Twitter) CLI Skill

Enables the agent to interact with X (Twitter) on behalf of the user via the Twikit library.

Path conventions

Paths in this skill are relative to the directory containing this SKILL.md, not to the workspace root or the shell's current ./.

• Scripts in this skill use paths like scripts/...
• When a command below says python scripts/..., resolve that script path against the skill's absolute Base Directory.
• In command examples below, replace <skill-base-dir> with the skill's actual absolute Base Directory.

⚠️ Security Rules (Mandatory)

• NEVER ask for password, TOTP secrets, or browser cookies in plain chat.
• NEVER display or repeat the contents of ~/.libragent/x_config.json or ~/.libragent/x_cookies.json.
• Collect password and other sensitive information exclusively through interactive hidden shell prompts (requireUserInput=true, inputType=password).
• ALWAYS use setup.py to persist credentials and session.

Overview

X integration involves these steps:

1. Detect config — run check_config.py to check if account is configured.
2. Setup (first time only) — configure via credentials or browser cookies (highly recommended due to Twitter API changes).
3. Dispatch action — call x_cli.py with the right action.
4. Present results — format and summarize the output for the user.

---

Prerequisites

Ensure Twikit is installed:

pip install twikit

---

Step 1: Detect Config

Always start by checking if the account is configured:

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/check_config.py"

• Exit code 0 → configured, proceed to Step 3.
• Exit code 1 or 2 → not configured/corrupt, proceed to Step 2.

---

Step 2: Account Setup (First Time or Reset)

Option A: Cookie-based Setup (Recommended & Bulletproof)

Because X frequently blocks automated credentials-based login with a 404 (code 34) error on the guest token endpoint, using browser cookies is the most reliable way to authenticate.

1. Log in to x.com in your web browser.
2. Open Developer Tools (F12) -> Application (or Storage) -> Cookies -> https://x.com.
3. Copy the values of auth_token and ct0.
4. Run the terminal cookie wizard:

   python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/setup.py" \
     --username "your_username" \
     --email "[e-mail]" \
     --cookie-login
   

5. When prompted in the terminal, paste auth_token and ct0. The inputs are hidden and are not echoed back.

If the user already has the cookie values ready and explicitly prefers a one-shot command, --auth-token and --ct0 still work, but the wizard is the default recommendation because it keeps secrets out of shell history.

Option B: Credentials-based Setup (Fallback)

Execute runInPersistentShell (or runInPersistentPowerShell) with:

• requireUserInput=true
• inputType=password
• inputPrompt=X 비밀번호를 입력하세요:
• Command (replace username and email with user-supplied ones):

  python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/setup.py" \
    --username "your_username" \
    --email "[e-mail]" \
    --password-stdin
  

Setup output contract

setup.py prints a JSON object to stdout:

• Exit code 0 — session cookies and config were saved.
• Exit code 1 — authentication failed; partial files are removed.
• Exit code 3 — missing required input (for example password).

On success, status is always "ok". An optional warning field means the session was saved but the post-save timeline probe failed (often a Twikit/X API parsing issue, not necessarily invalid cookies). Treat setup as successful, inform the user about the warning, and proceed to Step 3. If later x_cli.py calls fail, recommend re-copying browser cookies and re-running setup.

check_config.py reads config and cookies with utf-8-sig so Windows BOM-prefixed JSON files still parse.

---

Step 3: Dispatch Action

Call x_cli.py to execute X actions:

If credentials login returns 404 with code 34, stop retrying passwords and switch to Option A immediately. Always give the user the concrete next step: open browser cookies, then run the cookie wizard command.

Action: post_tweet — Post a new tweet

Shell quoting warning: In bash/sh, double-quoted --message values expand $ as variables ($100M becomes 00M). In PowerShell, $ is also expanded. For any message containing $, backticks, or other shell-special characters, always write the tweet to a UTF-8 file and use --message-file.

# Recommended when the message contains $ or other shell-special characters
python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action post_tweet \
  --message-file "/path/to/tweet.txt" \
  [--file "/path/to/attachment"] \
  [--reply-to "1234567890"]

# Simple messages only (no $, backticks, or shell metacharacters)
python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action post_tweet \
  --message "트윗 내용" \
  [--file "/path/to/attachment"] \
  [--reply-to "1234567890"]

Post the first tweet without --reply-to. For thread replies, pass the previous tweet's ID:

# Tweet 1 (write message to file when it contains $)
python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action post_tweet --message-file "/path/to/part1.txt"

# Tweet 2 (reply to tweet 1)
python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action post_tweet \
  --message-file "/path/to/part2.txt" \
  --reply-to "<tweet_id_from_part_1>"

--reply-to and --reply_to are equivalent.

Action: get_timeline — View home timeline

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action get_timeline \
  [--limit 10]

Action: get_user_tweets — View specific user's tweets

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action get_user_tweets \
  --username "target_username" \
  [--limit 10]

Action: search_tweets — Search tweets by query

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action search_tweets \
  --query "검색어" \
  [--product Top|Latest|Media] \
  [--limit 10]

--product defaults to Top. Twikit accepts at most 20 results per search request.

Action: like_tweet — Like/favorite a tweet

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action like_tweet \
  --tweet-id "1234567890"

Action: retweet — Retweet a tweet

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action retweet \
  --tweet-id "1234567890"

Action: delete_tweet — Delete your own tweet

python "<skill-base-dir>/scripts/x_cli.py" --action delete_tweet \
  --tweet-id "1234567890"
