For threads, present tweets in chronological order.
When searching, summarize results concisely with key metrics.
Before posting/liking/retweeting, confirm the action with the user.
Rate limits apply — space out bulk operations.
Use --json when you need to process output programmatically.

Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized

Check that TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN is set and valid.

429 Rate Limited

Wait and retry. Twitter API has strict rate limits per 15-minute window.

TL;DR: Read, search, post, and engage on Twitter/X. Always confirm before write actions.
