X

ABA X

Use aba x for browser-driven X operations. Run the requested operation when the user wants an action performed. Only explain commands without running them when the user asks for instructions.

Operating rules

• Run aba --version before the first operation to confirm that the CLI is installed.
• Use aba --help as the source of truth if a command or option is uncertain.
• Use --json whenever results will be filtered, compared, summarized, or passed to another command.
• Use the active account unless the user identifies another account.
• Run aba x auth list --json before choosing among multiple accounts, then pass --account <handle-or-id> explicitly.
• Never read or print browser profiles, cookies, local storage, accounts.json, state.json, passwords, or tokens.
• Keep all X behavior browser-driven through aba.
• Do not replace a missing command with a private X API or a reverse-engineered endpoint.
• Preserve null values in structured output as unavailable data rather than guessing.
• Report the completed read and relevant public result without exposing authentication paths or private browser state.

Authentication

List configured accounts first:

aba x auth list --json

If no suitable account exists, start login:

aba x auth login

Use a known handle to add or refresh a specific account:

aba x auth login --account "@username"

Login opens a visible browser and waits for the authenticated X home feed. Allow the command to continue until it confirms that authentication was saved. If Google rejects sign-in from software-controlled Chrome, retry with the isolated system-browser flow:

aba x auth login --account "@username" --system-browser

The most recently authenticated account is active. Select a different configured account per read operation with --account.

Read the home feed

Read posts from the authenticated home feed:

aba x feed --limit 20 --json

Choose the smallest positive integer limit that satisfies the request. The default is 20. The browser scrolls until it reaches the limit or no more posts load, so report when fewer posts are returned. Feed results can include author identity, text, URL, creation time, and available reply, repost, quote, like, and view counts.

Use another configured account explicitly:

aba x feed \
  --account "handle-or-account-id" \
  --limit 10 \
  --json

Read a profile

Pass a username, handle, numeric user ID, X URL, or Twitter URL:

aba x profile "OpenAI" --json
aba x profile "@OpenAI" --json
aba x profile "4398626122" --json
aba x profile "https://x.com/OpenAI" --json

Twitter URLs are normalized to X. Numeric user IDs resolve through X's browser profile route. Profile results can include the numeric ID, display name, username, bio, public profile fields, counts, verification status, and protection status.

Troubleshooting

Normal feed and profile reads run headless. If X changes its interface or the CLI reports a selector failure, retry the same command once with --headed:

aba x feed --limit 10 --json --headed
aba x profile "@OpenAI" --json --headed

Inspect only the visible page and the CLI error. Do not inspect stored authentication data.

Capability boundary

Use only commands shown by aba --help. This adapter currently reads the home feed and profiles. If the user requests posting, liking, replying, following, direct messaging, search, or another unsupported X action, confirm that it is absent from current help, state the limitation plainly, and offer the closest supported read operation.

Active development

ABA CLI is under active development. Open a GitHub issue in the Agent Browser App CLI repository to report bugs or request new features.
