Tweet Cli

4. Verify: tweet-cli whoami

Security

• Credentials: Stored in ~/.config/tweet-cli/.env (read by dotenv at runtime). Set chmod 600 to restrict access.
• No postinstall scripts: The package has zero install scripts — verify via npm pack --dry-run or inspect package.json.
• No telemetry or network calls except to the official X API (api.x.com) when you run a command.
• Pinned install: The install command pins to a specific release tag. Audit the source at https://github.com/0xmythril/tweet-cli before installing.
• Dependencies: Only 3 runtime deps — twitter-api-v2 (official X API client), commander (CLI parsing), dotenv (env file loading). No transitive dependencies.

Important rules

• Do NOT post unless the user explicitly asks or a cron job triggers it. Each post uses API credits.
• Always confirm with the user before posting, replying, or quoting. Show them the text first.
• For reading tweets, searching, or viewing timelines, use bird (not tweet-cli).
• tweet-cli accepts both raw tweet IDs and full URLs (x.com or twitter.com).
• If you get a 402 CreditsDepleted error, inform the user their monthly credits are exhausted.
