Terminal client to browse tweets, view profiles, and search posts via Nitter instances without opening a browser.
Nit provides a lightweight command-line interface to read Twitter content through privacy-focused Nitter instances. It lets users fetch timelines, view profile details, and search tweets directly in the terminal—useful for quick lookups, scripts, or environments where a browser is unavailable or unwanted.
Use Nit when you need to read or search Twitter content from the command line, embed tweet lookups in shell scripts, or avoid browser-based trackers. Typical scenarios: checking a developer's tweets from a CI job, searching for recent mentions of a project from a remote server, or quickly reviewing a timeline without leaving the terminal.
timeline, profile, search. Options include --count for result limits, --json for machine-readable output, and --instance to point at a custom Nitter instance.CLI-focused automation agents and developer assistants that can run shell commands and present terminal output (Copilot/Codex-style or any agent with shell execution) will find this skill most useful.
Nit is a minimal skill that documents a Homebrew-installed CLI for browsing Nitter instances from the terminal. The SKILL.md is essentially just a command reference with no scripts, no automation logic, and no instructions for the agent on how to actually invoke or orchestrate the tool. No security concerns — just a brew install and subcommand docs. Very limited utility as a skill since it lacks any agent-usable workflow beyond 'install and run this CLI'.
This is more of a README for a CLI tool than an agent skill. It provides no trigger conditions beyond a vague description, no error handling guidance, no output contracts, and no scripted automation. As a skill, it barely qualifies — it's just documentation for a brew package. Usefulness is low because Nitter instances are increasingly unreliable and the skill doesn't help the agent actually use the tool effectively.
