# X to Markdown
Converts X content to markdown:
- Tweets/threads → Markdown with YAML front matter
- X Articles → Full content extraction
## User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent.
2. **Fallback**: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
3. **Batching**: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.
Concrete `AskUserQuestion` references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.
## Script Directory
Scripts located in `scripts/` subdirectory.
**Path Resolution**:
1. `{baseDir}` = this SKILL.md's directory
2. Script path = `{baseDir}/scripts/main.ts`
3. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun
## Consent Requirement
**Before any conversion**, check and obtain consent.
### Consent Flow
**Step 1**: Check consent file
```bash
# macOS
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json
# Linux
cat ~/.local/share/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json
```
**Step 2**: If `accepted: true` and `disclaimerVersion: "1.0"` → print warning and proceed:
```
Warning: Using reverse-engineered X API. Accepted on: <acceptedAt>
```
**Step 3**: If missing or version mismatch → display disclaimer:
```
DISCLAIMER
This tool uses a reverse-engineered X API, NOT official.
Risks:
- May break if X changes API
- No guarantees or support
- Possible account restrictions
- Use at your own risk
Accept terms and continue?
```
Use `AskUserQuestion` with options: "Yes, I accept" | "No, I decline"
**Step 4**: On accept → create consent file:
```json
{
"version": 1,
"accepted": true,
"acceptedAt": "<ISO timestamp>",
"disclaimerVersion": "1.0"
}
```
**Step 5**: On decline → output "User declined. Exiting." and stop.
## Preferences (EXTEND.md)
Check EXTEND.md in priority order — the first one found wins:
| Priority | Path | Scope |
|----------|------|-------|
| 1 | `.baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md` | Project |
| 2 | `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md` | XDG |
| 3 | `$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md` | User home |
| Result | Action |
|--------|--------|
| Found | Read, parse, apply settings |
| Not found | **MUST** run first-time setup (see below) — do NOT silently create defaults |
**EXTEND.md supports**: Download media by default, default output directory.
### First-Time Setup (BLOCKING)
**CRITICAL**: When EXTEND.md is not found, you **MUST use `AskUserQuestion`** to ask the user for their preferences before creating EXTEND.md. **NEVER** create EXTEND.md with defaults without asking. This is a **BLOCKING** operation — do NOT proceed with any conversion until setup is complete.
Use `AskUserQuestion` with ALL questions in ONE call:
**Question 1** — header: "Media", question: "How to handle images and videos in tweets?"
- "Ask each time (Recommended)" — After saving markdown, ask whether to download media
- "Always download" — Always download media to local imgs/ and videos/ directories
- "Never download" — Keep original remote URLs in markdown
**Question 2** — header: "Output", question: "Default output directory?"
- "x-to-markdown (Recommended)" — Save to ./x-to-markdown/{username}/{tweet-id}.md
- (User may choose "Other" to type a custom path)
**Question 3** — header: "Save", question: "Where to save preferences?"
- "User (Recommended)" — ~/.baoyu-skills/ (all projects)
- "Project" — .baoyu-skills/ (this project only)
After user answers, create EXTEND.md at the chosen location, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.
