# agent-x
Agent-first Twitter/X CLI. Binary: **`ax`**. Published as `agent-x` on crates.io.
Agents are the primary consumer, humans secondary. Full [NO_DNA](https://no-dna.org) compliance for structured, machine-readable output.
## Install
```bash
cargo install agent-x
```
Requires Rust 1.75+.
## Quick start
```bash
# Authenticate (OAuth 2.0 PKCE)
export X_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
ax auth login
# Post a tweet
ax tweet post "Hello from agent-x!"
# Get a tweet
ax tweet get 1234567890
# Search
ax tweet search "rust lang" --max-results 20
# User lookup
ax user get elonmusk
```
## Authentication
Three methods, resolved in priority order:
1. **OAuth 2.0 PKCE** — `ax auth login` (recommended, stored encrypted)
2. **OAuth 1.0a** — env vars `X_API_KEY`, `X_API_SECRET`, `X_ACCESS_TOKEN`, `X_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`
3. **Bearer token** — env var `X_BEARER_TOKEN` (read-only)
## Command tree
```
ax [--output json|plain|markdown|human] [--verbose]
├── self mentions|bookmarks|like|unlike|retweet|unretweet|bookmark|unbookmark
└── auth login|status|logout
```
See `ax --help`, `ax <command> --help`, or [SKILL.md](SKILL.md) for full usage.
## Output modes

| `human` | `-o human` | Rich terminal (default) |
## NO_DNA mode
