## Prerequisites
This skill requires the `xurl` CLI utility: <https://github.com/xdevplatform/xurl>.
Before using any command you must be authenticated. Run `xurl auth status` to check.
### Secret Safety (Mandatory)
- Never read, print, parse, summarize, upload, or send `~/.xurl` (or copies of it) to the LLM context.
- Never ask the user to paste credentials/tokens into chat.
- The user must fill `~/.xurl` with required secrets manually on their own machine.
- Do not recommend or execute auth commands with inline secrets in agent/LLM sessions.
- Warn that using CLI secret options in agent sessions can leak credentials (prompt/context, logs, shell history).
- Never use `--verbose` / `-v` in agent/LLM sessions; it can expose sensitive headers/tokens in output.
- Sensitive flags that must never be used in agent commands: `--bearer-token`, `--consumer-key`, `--consumer-secret`, `--access-token`, `--token-secret`, `--client-id`, `--client-secret`.
- To verify whether at least one app with credentials is already registered, run: `xurl auth status`.
### Register an app (recommended)
```bash
# Register your X API app credentials (stored in ~/.xurl)
xurl auth apps add my-app --client-id YOUR_CLIENT_ID --client-secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET
App credential registration must be done manually by the user outside the agent/LLM session.
After credentials are registered, authenticate with:
# Then authenticate
```bash
xurl auth oauth2
```
You can register multiple apps and switch between them:
For multiple pre-configured apps, switch between them:
```bash
xurl auth apps add prod-app --client-id PROD_ID --client-secret PROD_SECRET
xurl auth apps add dev-app --client-id DEV_ID --client-secret DEV_SECRET
xurl auth default prod-app # set default app
xurl auth default prod-app alice # set default app + user
xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me # one-off override
@@ -90,63 +100,55 @@ xurl --app dev-app /2/users/me # one-off override
### Other auth methods
```bash
# OAuth 1.0a
xurl auth oauth1 \
--consumer-key KEY --consumer-secret SECRET \
--access-token TOKEN --token-secret SECRET
Examples with inline secret flags are intentionally omitted. If OAuth1 or app-only auth is needed, the user must run those commands manually outside agent/LLM context.
# Apponly bearer token
xurl auth app --bearer-token TOKEN
```
Tokens are persisted to `~/.xurl` in YAML format. Each app has its own isolated tokens. Once authenticated, every command below will autoattach the right `Authorization` header.

- **Rate limits:** The X API enforces rate limits per endpoint. If you get a 429 error, wait and retry. Write endpoints (post, reply, like, repost) have stricter limits than read endpoints.
- **Scopes:** OAuth 2.0 tokens are requested with broad scopes. If you get a 403 on a specific action, your token may lack the required scope — rerun `xurl auth oauth2` to get a fresh token.
- **Token refresh:** OAuth 2.0 tokens autorefresh when expired. No manual intervention needed.
- **Multiple apps:** Register multiple apps with `xurl auth apps add`. Each app has its own isolated credentials and tokens. Switch with `xurl auth default` or `--app`.
- **Multiple apps:** Each app has its own isolated credentials and tokens. Configure credentials manually outside agent/LLM context, then switch with `xurl auth default` or `--app`.
- **Multiple accounts:** You can authenticate multiple OAuth 2.0 accounts per app and switch between them with `--username` / `-u` or set a default with `xurl auth default APP USER`.
- **Default user:** When no `-u` flag is given, xurl uses the default user for the active app (set via `xurl auth default`). If no default user is set, it uses the first available token.
- **Token storage:** `~/.xurl` is YAML. Each app stores its own credentials and tokens.
