🤖 AGENTS.md - AI Discovery File

This file helps AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) understand and work with this repository.

Project Overview

Xeepy is a comprehensive Python toolkit for X/Twitter automation designed for educational purposes. It uses browser automation (Playwright) instead of the expensive Twitter API.

Quick Facts

• Language: Python 3.10+
• Framework: Async/await with Playwright
• AI Support: OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama
• No API Keys Required: Uses browser automation
• Educational Purpose: Research and learning only
• GraphQL API: Direct access for higher rate limits

💡 Code Generation Patterns

Pattern 1: Basic Scraping

# User asks: "How to get replies to a tweet?"
from xeepy import Xeepy

async def get_tweet_replies(tweet_url: str, limit: int = 100):
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        replies = await x.scrape.replies(tweet_url, limit=limit)
        return replies

# Export to CSV
async def export_replies(tweet_url: str, output_file: str):
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        replies = await x.scrape.replies(tweet_url)
        x.export.to_csv(replies, output_file)

Pattern 2: Unfollow Non-Followers

# User asks: "Unfollow everyone who doesn't follow me back"
from xeepy import Xeepy

async def unfollow_non_followers(max_unfollows: int = 100, whitelist: list = None):
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        result = await x.unfollow.non_followers(
            max_unfollows=max_unfollows,
            whitelist=whitelist or [],
            dry_run=False
        )
        return result.unfollowed_users

# Preview first
async def preview_unfollows():
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        result = await x.unfollow.non_followers(dry_run=True)
        print(f"Would unfollow: {len(result.would_unfollow)} users")
        return result.would_unfollow

Pattern 3: Auto-Engagement

# User asks: "Auto-like tweets about Python"
from xeepy import Xeepy

async def auto_like_by_keyword(keywords: list, limit: int = 50):
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        result = await x.engage.auto_like(
            keywords=keywords,
            limit=limit,
            delay_range=(2, 5)  # Random delay 2-5 seconds
        )
        return result.liked_tweets

Pattern 4: Monitoring

# User asks: "Who unfollowed me?"
from xeepy import Xeepy

async def check_unfollowers():
    async with Xeepy() as x:
        report = await x.monitor.unfollowers()
        print(f"New unfollowers: {report.unfollowers}")
        print(f"New followers: {report.new_followers}")
        return report

Pattern 5: AI Reply Generation

# User asks: "Generate a reply to this tweet using AI"
from xeepy.ai import ContentGenerator

async def generate_reply(tweet_text: str, style: str = "supportive"):
    ai = ContentGenerator(provider="openai", api_key="...")
    reply = await ai.generate_reply(
        tweet_text=tweet_text,
        style=style,
        max_length=280
    )
    return reply

🔐 Authentication

Xeepy uses browser cookie-based authentication:

from xeepy import Xeepy

# Method 1: Manual login (opens browser)
async with Xeepy() as x:
    await x.auth.login()  # Opens browser for manual login

# Method 2: Load saved session
async with Xeepy() as x:
    await x.auth.load_session("session.json")

# Method 3: Import cookies from browser
async with Xeepy() as x:
    await x.auth.import_cookies("cookies.json")

⚠️ Important Notes for AI Assistants

1. Educational Purpose: Always remind users this is for educational purposes only
2. Rate Limiting: Xeepy includes built-in rate limiting - don't disable it
3. No API Keys: Xeepy doesn't require Twitter API keys
4. Async/Await: All Xeepy methods are async - must use async with and await
5. Browser Required: Playwright needs a browser installed (playwright install chromium)

Terminal Management

• Always use background terminals (isBackground: true) for every command so a terminal ID is returned
• Always kill the terminal after the command completes, whether it succeeds or fails — never leave terminals open
• Do not reuse foreground shell sessions — stale sessions block future terminal operations in Codespaces
• In GitHub Codespaces, agent-spawned terminals may be hidden — they still work. Do not assume a terminal is broken if you cannot see it
• If a terminal appears unresponsive, kill it and create a new one rather than retrying in the same terminal
