Converts X content to markdown:
Scripts located in scripts/ subdirectory.
Path Resolution:
{baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory{baseDir}/scripts/main.ts${BUN_X} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bunBefore any conversion, check and obtain consent.
Step 1: Check consent file
# macOS
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json
# Linux
cat ~/.local/share/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json
Step 2: If accepted: true and disclaimerVersion: "1.0" → print warning and proceed:
Warning: Using reverse-engineered X API. Accepted on: <acceptedAt>
Step 3: If missing or version mismatch → display disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER
This tool uses a reverse-engineered X API, NOT official.
Risks:
- May break if X changes API
- No guarantees or support
- Possible account restrictions
- Use at your own risk
Accept terms and continue?
Use AskUserQuestion with options: "Yes, I accept" | "No, I decline"
Step 4: On accept → create consent file:
{
"version": 1,
"accepted": true,
"acceptedAt": "<ISO timestamp>",
"disclaimerVersion": "1.0"
}
Step 5: On decline → output "User declined. Exiting." and stop.
Check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ($env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME/.config" }
if (Test-Path "$xdg/baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md") { "xdg" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-danger-x-to-markdown/EXTEND.md") { "user" }

EXTEND.md Supports: Download media by default | Default output directory
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?"
Question 2 — header: "Output", question: "Default output directory?"
Question 3 — header: "Save", question: "Where to save preferences?"
After user answers, create EXTEND.md at the chosen location, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.
