# wip-x

X Platform API. Sensor (read) + Actuator (write). All X Platform functions in one tool.

## When to Use This Skill

### Sensor: Read

**Use fetch_post for:**
- Getting the full content of a specific tweet by URL or ID
- Reading replies, quotes, engagement metrics
- Extracting tweet data for processing

**Use search_recent for:**
- Finding tweets matching a query (last 7 days)
- Searching by hashtags, mentions, or keywords
- Getting raw tweet data (not AI-summarized... use wip-grok search_x for that)

**Use get_bookmarks for:**
- Reading the user's bookmarked tweets
- Reviewing saved content

**Use get_user for:**
- Looking up a user's profile, bio, follower count
- Checking if an account exists

### Actuator: Write

**Use post_tweet for:**
- Posting new tweets
- Replying to existing tweets
- Quote-tweeting with commentary
- Posting with images or video (upload first)

**Use upload_media for:**
- Uploading images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP)
- Uploading video (MP4)
- Getting media IDs for use in post_tweet

**Use delete_tweet for:**
- Removing a previously posted tweet

**Use bookmark_post for:**
- Saving a tweet for later

### Do NOT Use For

- AI-powered search summarization (use wip-grok search_web or search_x instead)
- Image generation (use wip-grok generate_image)
- Video generation (use wip-grok generate_video)
- Trending topic analysis (use wip-grok search_x for AI-summarized trends)

## Troubleshooting

### "X Platform API credentials not found"
Set X_BEARER_TOKEN for read-only, or all four OAuth tokens for read+write.
1Password: vault "Agent Secrets", item "X Platform API".

### "Could not resolve authenticated user ID"
Bookmarks and write operations need OAuth 1.0a (all four tokens), not just bearer token.

### 403 Forbidden on post/delete
Your app needs "Read and Write" permissions in the X Developer Portal. Check at https://developer.x.com/en/portal/dashboard

### Rate limits
X API v2 has per-endpoint rate limits. The SDK handles rate limit headers automatically. If you hit limits, back off and retry.
