Browser extraction is recommended — it forwards ALL Twitter cookies (not just `auth_token` + `ct0`) and aligns request headers with your local runtime, which is closer to normal browser traffic than minimal cookie auth.

## Notes
- The fork already supports Netscape-format `cookies.txt` via `TWITTER_COOKIE_FILE`.
- Repo: `https://gitea.reversed.dev/luna/twitter-cli-cookiefile`
- Repo-local skill path: `skill/SKILL.md`
- If auth fails, verify the cookie file still contains fresh `auth_token` and `ct0` values for the target account.
