Warning

With the Claude extension for Chrome, Claude Code can now control your browser directly, which may make this tool less necessary for X/Twitter. However, Reddit is explicitly banned by the Chrome extension (likely for legal reasons), so this tool remains useful for Reddit posting.

A minimal CLI for posting to social media.
