[cron:ac836bad-bf7b-40ae-8ac1-43d80be065c5 X Engagement - Helpful Replies (5/day)] SCHEDULED TASK: Post 1 helpful engagement reply on X/Twitter.

## CRITICAL: Use GHC profile ONLY
- SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc
- NEVER use /home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile/ (that's @cannadealsfl)
- NEVER use Maya VM twikit or cannadeals cookies

## CRITICAL: Only Recent Tweets (Last 2 Days)
When searching, ONLY consider tweets from the LAST 2 DAYS.
- Check the tweet timestamp before replying
- If the tweet is older than 48 hours, SKIP IT
- Look for "X hours ago" or "Yesterday" indicators
- NEVER reply to tweets from weeks/months/years ago

## Rules
- Search hashtags: #dealhunter #couponing #savemoney #amazondeal #frugalliving #budgettips #deals #bargain
- Find a REAL person's tweet (not a bot/spam account) that's RECENT (last 48 hours)
- Reply with something genuinely helpful
- NO self-promotion. No links to GottaHaveCoups. Just be helpful.
- NO hashtags on replies
- Log in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md

## Method
cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster
SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" node post.mjs twitter-reply "<reply>" --url "<tweet_url>"
Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 3:36 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to post a helpful engagement reply on X/Twitter. Let me break down the requirements:

1. Use the GHC profile at `/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc`
2. Only reply to tweets from the last 2 days (last 48 hours)
3. Search relevant hashtags related to deals/couponing
4. Find a real person's tweet (not bot/spam)
5. Reply with something genuinely helpful
6. NO self-promotion, NO links to GottaHaveCoups
7. NO hashtags in replies
8. Log the action in memory file

First, I need to search for recent tweets using those hashtags. I'll use the browser to search Twitter for recent tweets with those hashtags, find one that's recent and from a real person, then craft a helpful reply.

Let me start by using the browser to search Twitter for these hashtags.

I'll search for recent tweets to engage with helpfully. Let me find a good candidate from the last 48 hours.


Can't reach the OpenClaw browser control service. Start (or restart) the OpenClaw gateway (OpenClaw.app menubar, or `openclaw gateway`) and try again. (Error: Error: Chrome extension relay is running, but no tab is connected. Click the OpenClaw Chrome extension icon on a tab to attach it (profile "chrome").)


The browser isn't available right now - no tab is attached. I need to use a different approach. I can use the social-poster script's built-in search functionality, or I can use exec to search Twitter via the CLI tools available.

Actually, looking at the task description, it seems like I should be able to search and reply using the social-poster toolkit. Let me check if there's a search functionality in the social-poster script, or I should use a different method.

Since the browser isn't available, let me try a different approach - I'll use exec to search for tweets and then reply. But actually, the social-poster script might have search capabilities built in.

Let me try using the node script directly to search, or I can use a Twitter CLI tool if available. Actually, the simplest approach might be to use the X search via a headless browser or API.

Wait, let me re-read the method. It shows:
```
node post.mjs twitter-reply "<reply>" --url "<tweet_url>"
```

So I need to find a tweet URL first. Since the browser isn't available, let me try using a different method - maybe I can use exec with a headless browser or check if there's a search capability in the social-poster toolkit.

Let me check what's available in that directory first.

Let me check the social-poster tools to see if there's a search capability:

exec

cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster && ls -la

Perfect! I can see there are several search scripts available. The most relevant one appears to be `ghc-engage.mjs` or `find_and_reply.mjs`. Let me try using the `find_and_reply.mjs` script which seems to be designed for this exact purpose.

Actually, looking at the files, `ghc-engage.mjs` looks like it might be specifically built for GHC engagement tasks. Let me try that one.

Perfect! I can see there's a `ghc-engage.mjs` script. Let me use that to find and reply to a recent tweet:

cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster && SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" node ghc-engage.mjs


Command still running (session good-cedar, pid 789624). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

[+] Launching browser with GHC profile...
[+] Searching: "how to save money"
[+] Found 0 tweets
[+] Searching: "need budgeting help"
[+] Found 0 tweets
[+] Searching: "looking for deals"


The script is running. Let me wait a bit and then check the logs to see what's happening.

[+] Searching: "how to save money"
[+] Found 0 tweets
[+] Searching: "need budgeting help"
[+] Found 0 tweets
[+] Searching: "looking for deals"

Process still running.


The script is searching but not finding many recent tweets. Let me wait a bit more to see if it finds something.

❌ No suitable recent tweets found

The automated script didn't find anything. Let me try a more manual approach - I'll search for tweets using hashtags directly. Let me try the `quick_hashtag_search.mjs` script to see if that gives better results.

The automated script didn't find suitable recent tweets. Let me try a direct hashtag search:

cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster && SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" node quick_hashtag_search.mjs "#savemoney"


Command still running (session swift-kelp, pid 797960). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


Searching: #savemoney OR #budgettips
[]

Process exited with code 0.


Still no results. It seems like the search is struggling to find recent tweets. Let me try a different approach - I'll use a simpler search or try #deals or #frugalliving which might have more activity.

Let me try searching for #deals which tends to have more activity:

cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster && SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" node manual_find_recent.mjs


Command still running (session quick-mist, pid 804131). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


Let me check what this script does and what results it finds.


[+] Searching #couponing...

Process still running.


Let me wait a bit more for this to complete.


(no new output)

Process still running.


This is taking a while. Let me check the full logs to see what's happening.


[+] Searching #couponing...


The browser-based search is taking too long. Let me try a different approach. Maybe I should kill this process and try looking at what search tools are available, or I can manually search and reply.

Actually, let me check if there's a faster way to do this. Let me kill the current process and try a more direct approach.


Killed session quick-mist.


The browser-based search is too slow. Let me try a different approach - I'll use web_search to find recent Twitter posts about deals/couponing, and then I can manually craft a reply. Or I can try using the `quick_find.mjs` script which might be faster.

Let me try the quick_find script which might be faster:

cd /home/crogers2287/openclaw-workspaces/cannadeals-marketing/skills/social-poster && SOCIAL_PROFILE=/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" node quick_find.mjs


[+] Loading Twitter search...
[+] Taking screenshot...
[+] Screenshot saved to /tmp/twitter-search.png

[+] Found tweet URLs:


Great! This script found some tweet URLs but didn't output them. Let me check if there's a screenshot or I need to run it again with better output. Actually, the script seems to have completed but didn't show the URLs. Let me check the screenshot it created.


import { chromium } from 'playwright';

const PROFILE = process.env.SOCIAL_PROFILE || '/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc';

(async () => {
  const context = await chromium.launchPersistentContext(PROFILE, {
    headless: false,
    viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 }
  });

  const page = await context.pages()[0] || await context.newPage();

  // Just go to Twitter search - don't wait for networkidle
  console.log('[+] Loading Twitter search...');
  await page.goto('https://twitter.com/search?q=%23frugalliving%20OR%20%23couponing%20OR%20%23savemoney&f=live', { timeout: 15000 }).catch(() => {});
  await page.waitForTimeout(8000);

  console.log('[+] Taking screenshot...');
  await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/twitter-search.png', fullPage: false });
  console.log('[+] Screenshot saved to /tmp/twitter-search.png');

  // Get tweet links
  const links = await page.$$eval('a[href*="/status/"]', els =>
    els.slice(0, 5).map(el => el.href)
  );

  console.log('\n[+] Found tweet URLs:');
  links.forEach(url => console.log('  -', url));

  await context.close();
})();


I see - the script should have printed the URLs but it seems like it didn't capture any. Let me try looking at the screenshot to see what was on the page, or I can try a different approach. Let me try running it again and see if I get URLs this time, or try using a web search to find recent tweets.

Actually, let me try a simpler approach - I'll use web_search to find recent Twitter posts about deals/couponing and then manually reply to one of them.

Let me search for recent Twitter posts about couponing or deals:

Question: site:twitter.com #couponing OR #savemoney OR #deals


Question: site:twitter.com #couponing OR #savemoney OR #deals

Question: site:twitter.com #couponing OR #savemoney OR #deals


The web search isn't finding recent tweets either. Let me try a different approach - I'll search for Twitter users talking about budgeting or shopping questions and see if I can find recent posts that way.Actually, let me try using a different search term or checking what might be more current. Let me try searching for "twitter budgeting tips" or similar to find recent activity.

Let me try a broader search for recent deal-hunting activity:

Question: "twitter.com" budget tips saving money today


Question: "twitter.com" budget tips saving money today

Question: "twitter.com" budget tips saving money today


It seems like finding very recent tweets through web search isn't working well. Let me try a different approach - I'll manually navigate to Twitter and find a recent tweet to reply to. Let me try using a simple script that just searches Twitter directly and shows me what's available.

Actually, let me look at the memory file to see if there are any past successful engagement examples or methods that worked better.

Let me check if there are any logged past successful engagements to learn from:

# 2026-02-16 — GHC Marketing Log

## X Engagement Task - BLOCKED

**Task:** Post 1 helpful engagement reply on X/Twitter (cron job: ac836bad-bf7b-40ae-8ac1-43d80be065c5)

**Status:** ❌ BLOCKED - Authentication Issues

**Blockers Identified:**

1. **GHC Profile Not Authenticated**
   - Profile path: `/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc`
   - Browser shows "Sign in to X" dialog when attempting to access search
   - Cookies exist but appear expired or invalid
   - Screenshot: `/tmp/x-search.png` shows login screen

2. **Maya VM Unreachable**
   - SSH connection to `maya` times out after 5 seconds
   - Maya VM is documented as primary social media posting server
   - Has working X/Twitter auth with twikit (according to MEMORY.md)

3. **Search Methods Failed**
   - Playwright search via social-poster: Returns 0 tweets (auth required)
   - Web search for Twitter content: No results returned
   - Cannot find recent tweets to reply to

**What Was Attempted:**
- Tried searching hashtags: #dealhunter, #couponing, #savemoney, #frugalliving, #deals
- Attempted browser automation with social-poster skill
- Attempted SSH to Maya VM for alternative auth method
- Tried web search to find recent tweets

**Next Steps Required:**
1. **Fix GHC X/Twitter Authentication:**
   - Need to log into X/Twitter for GottaHaveCoups account
   - Update cookies in `/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc/Default/Cookies`
   - OR set up twikit with GHC credentials on Fred VM

2. **Fix Maya VM Connectivity:**
   - Check if Maya VM is running
   - Verify Tailscale connection
   - Update SSH config if needed

3. **Alternative:** Set up twikit on Fred VM for GHC account
   - Install twikit: `pip install twikit`
   - Create `x_cookies.json` for GHC account
   - Test authentication before next cron run

**Task Outcome:** Incomplete - Will retry after authentication is resolved

**Time:** 2:54 PM UTC

## X Engagement Task - Retry #2 (3:30 PM UTC)

**Status:** ❌ STILL BLOCKED - Same authentication issues

**Attempts Made:**
1. `ghc-engage.mjs` - Found 0 tweets (needs auth)
2. `x-engagement-search.mjs` - Timed out searching
3. `ghc-hashtag-search.mjs` - Returned empty array []
4. `temp-question-search.mjs` - Searching for questions, no results
5. `quick_find.mjs` - Successfully loaded page but showed "Sign in to X" dialog

**Screenshot Evidence:** `/tmp/twitter-search.png` - Confirms login required

**Root Cause:** GHC Twitter profile (`@GottaHaveCoups` or similar) not logged into the Playwright profile at `/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc`

**Immediate Fix Needed:**
- Manual login to X/Twitter via the GHC Playwright profile
- OR transfer valid X cookies from working auth source
- OR set up twikit with GHC account credentials on Fred VM

**Task Outcome:** Incomplete - Authentication prerequisite not met

**Time:** 3:30 PM UTC


Ah, I can see that this task has been attempted multiple times today and has consistently failed due to authentication issues with the GHC X/Twitter profile. The profile is not logged in and authentication is required to search and reply to tweets.

The memory shows that:
1. The GHC profile at `/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc` is not authenticated
2. Maya VM (which has working X auth) is unreachable
3. All search attempts fail because they require authentication

I should report this status back and note that the task cannot be completed without fixing the authentication first. This is a blocking issue that needs Chad's attention to resolve.

## ❌ ENGAGEMENT TASK BLOCKED (3rd Attempt Today)

**Status:** Cannot complete - X/Twitter authentication required

**Problem:**
The GHC X/Twitter profile (`/home/crogers2287/.social-poster-profile-ghc`) is not logged in. All search attempts fail at the Twitter login screen.

**Failed Attempts Today (2:54 PM, 3:30 PM, 3:36 PM):**
- ✗ `ghc-engage.mjs` - 0 tweets found (needs auth)
- ✗ `quick_hashtag_search.mjs` - Empty results
- ✗ `manual_find_recent.mjs` - Stuck at search
- ✗ `quick_find.mjs` - Shows "Sign in to X" dialog
- ✗ Web search - No Twitter results

**Root Cause:**
GHC account not authenticated in the Playwright browser profile. Can't search hashtags or view recent tweets without being logged in.

**Maya VM Alternative:** Unreachable via SSH (timeout after 5sec)

**What's Needed:**
1. **Manual login** to X/Twitter using the GHC account via Playwright profile, OR
2. **Transfer working cookies** from Maya VM (if accessible), OR
3. **Set up twikit** on Fred VM with GHC credentials

**Recommendation:**
Disable this cron job until authentication is fixed. Running it 5 times/day just wastes API calls when the prerequisite (X login) isn't met.
