X (Twitter) API v2 skill using the authenticated user's own developer credentials (OAuth 1.0a, pay-per-use). All commands go through a single entry point: `node <base_directory>/x.js <command> [flags]`. Each command has its own doc file with the full reference for flags and behavior.

[!SETUP] Before first use, check whether `<base_directory>/node_modules` exists. If it does NOT exist, run `npm install --prefix <base_directory>`. Then check whether `<base_directory>/dist/x.js` exists. If it does NOT exist, run `npm run build --prefix <base_directory>`. NEVER cd into the skill directory; use --prefix to target it without changing your working directory.

[!COMMANDS]

Core:
a) `me` — authenticated user's own account data (profile, metrics, verification). @docs/me.md.
b) `search` — search posts by query (last 7 days or full archive). @docs/search.md.
c) `get` — retrieve one or more posts by ID. @docs/get.md.
d) `post` — create a tweet, reply, or quote tweet. @docs/post.md.
e) `delete` — delete a post owned by the authenticated user. @docs/delete.md.

Engagement:
f) `like` — like a post by tweet ID. @docs/like.md.
g) `unlike` — remove a like from a post. @docs/like.md.
h) `repost` — repost (retweet) a post. @docs/repost.md.
i) `unrepost` — remove a repost. @docs/repost.md.

Social:
j) `user` — look up user(s) by username or ID. @docs/user.md.

Feed:
o) `timeline` — your home timeline (reverse chronological, not the algorithmic "For you" feed). Note (2026-02-14): the X API returns heavily skewed results — mostly own tweets — and does not faithfully reproduce the "Following" tab on x.com. Use `--exclude replies,retweets` to improve signal. @docs/timeline.md.

v) `muted` — list muted accounts. @docs/mute.md.
w) `blocked` — list blocked accounts. @docs/blocked.md.

ae) `trending` — trending topics (worldwide or personalized). @docs/trending.md.

af) `search-communities` — search communities by keyword (name, description). Returns metadata: name, description, member count, join policy. @docs/search-communities.md.
ag) `community` — look up a community by ID. @docs/community.md.

[!CONFIRMATION] Before executing any write or destructive command, always show the user a plain-language summary of the action and wait for explicit confirmation. Write commands are: `post`, `delete`, `like`, `unlike`, `repost`, `unrepost`, `follow`, `unfollow`, `bookmark`, `unbookmark`, `mute`, `unmute`, `hide-reply`. Example format: "I'm about to post the following tweet: «{text}». Proceed?" — Do NOT run the command until the user confirms.

[!CREDENTIALS] Four OAuth 1.0a variables are REQUIRED: `X_API_KEY`, `X_API_SECRET`, `X_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`. They resolve from the first source that provides them: a) `.env.local` in cwd, b) `.env` in cwd, c) `.env.local` in the plugin directory, d) `.env` in the plugin directory, e) environment variables. Obtain them from the X Developer Console (Apps > Keys and tokens). One OPTIONAL variable: `X_API_BEARER_TOKEN` (OAuth 2.0 App-Only Bearer Token). When set, the client auto-selects Bearer auth for read endpoints that require it (e.g. full archive search with `--all`). Generate it from the X Developer Console (Apps > Keys and tokens > Bearer Token).
