# twitter-cli — Twitter/X CLI Tool

**Binary:** `twitter`
**Credentials:** browser cookies (auto-extracted) or env vars

## Setup

```bash
# Install (requires Python 3.8+)
uv tool install twitter-cli
# Or: pipx install twitter-cli

# Upgrade to latest (recommended to avoid API errors)
uv tool upgrade twitter-cli
# Or: pipx upgrade twitter-cli
```

## Authentication

**IMPORTANT FOR AGENTS**: Before executing ANY twitter-cli command, you MUST first check if credentials exist. If not, you MUST proactively guide the user through the authentication process. Do NOT assume credentials are configured.

**CRITICAL**: Write operations (posting tweets, replying, quoting) REQUIRE full browser cookies. Only providing `auth_token` + `ct0` via env vars may result in **226 error** ("looks like automated behavior"). For best results, use browser cookie extraction.

### Step 0: Check if already authenticated

```bash
twitter status --yaml >/dev/null && echo "AUTH_OK" || echo "AUTH_NEEDED"
```

If `AUTH_OK`, skip to [Command Reference](#command-reference).
If `AUTH_NEEDED`, proceed to guide the user:

### Step 1: Guide user to authenticate

**Method A: Browser cookie extraction (recommended)**

Ensure user is logged into x.com in one of: Arc, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave. twitter-cli auto-extracts cookies.
All Chrome profiles are scanned automatically. To specify a profile: `TWITTER_CHROME_PROFILE="Profile 2" twitter feed`.
