# Post to X (Twitter)

Post content, images, and long-form articles to X using real Chrome browser (bypasses anti-bot detection).

## Script Directory

**Important**: All scripts are located in the `scripts/` subdirectory of this skill.

**Agent Execution Instructions**:
1. Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `SKILL_DIR`
2. Script path = `${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/<script-name>.ts`
3. Replace all `${SKILL_DIR}` in this document with the actual path

**Script Reference**:
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `scripts/x-browser.ts` | Regular posts (text + images) |
| `scripts/x-article.ts` | Long-form article publishing (Markdown) |
| `scripts/md-to-html.ts` | Markdown → HTML conversion |
| `scripts/copy-to-clipboard.ts` | Copy content to clipboard |
| `scripts/paste-from-clipboard.ts` | Send real paste keystroke |

## Prerequisites

- Google Chrome or Chromium installed
