What

Pre-install x-cli so it's ready the moment Alexander provides X API credentials.

Steps

  1. uv tool install git+https://github.com/Infatoshi/x-cli.git
  2. mkdir -p ~/.config/x-cli
  3. Create ~/.config/x-cli/.env template with placeholder values
  4. Add ~/.config/x-cli/.env to global gitignore
  5. Verify installation: x-cli --help

Blocked On

Credentials from Alexander (see #204). But the tool itself can be installed now.

Scope

~5 min setup task. No credentials needed for install.


CLOSED — x-cli installed but won't be used

x-cli is installed but X API requires $100/mo Basic plan for timeline reads. Not pursuing. The tool stays installed in case the situation changes, but the primary path is Alexander's own website.
