Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/tweet-generator/:

draft.log, edit.log, optimize.log, etc. — One log file per command, storing timestamped entries in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|content format
history.log — Global activity log tracking every command executed
export.json / export.csv / export.txt — Generated export files

Each command called without arguments shows the 20 most recent entries from its log. Data never leaves your machine.

Requirements

Bash ≥ 4.0 (uses set -euo pipefail and local variables)
coreutils — date, wc, du, head, tail, grep, basename, mkdir
No API keys, no internet connection, no external dependencies

When to Use

Daily content creation — Use draft to capture tweet ideas throughout the day, then edit and optimize before posting
Content calendar planning — Use schedule to log planned posts with timestamps, then recent to review upcoming content
Engagement optimization — Use hashtags, hooks, and cta to systematically improve each piece of content before publishing
Multilingual content — Use translate and tone to adapt content for different audiences and platforms
Content audit and analysis — Use stats to see your output volume, search to find past content on a topic, and export to back up everything

Tips

Every command doubles as a log — call it with text to save, call it empty to review history
Use export json periodically to back up your content library
Chain commands: draft → edit → optimize → hashtags for a complete workflow
Use search to find and repurpose old content ideas
stats gives you a bird's-eye view of your content output over time
