### Consent Check Flow

**Step 1**: Check consent file

# macOS
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json 2>/dev/null

# Linux
cat ~/.local/share/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json 2>/dev/null

# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\baoyu-skills\x-to-markdown\consent.json" 2>$null

**Step 2**: If consent exists and `accepted: true` with matching `disclaimerVersion: "1.0"`:

Print warning and proceed:
```
⚠️  Warning: Using reverse-engineered X API (not official). Accepted on: <acceptedAt date>
```

**Step 3**: If consent file doesn't exist or `disclaimerVersion` mismatch:

Display disclaimer and ask user:

```
⚠️  DISCLAIMER

This tool uses a reverse-engineered X (Twitter) API, NOT an official API.

Risks:
- May break without notice if X changes their API
- No official support or guarantees
- Account restrictions possible if API usage detected
- Use at your own risk

Do you accept these terms and wish to continue?
```

Use `AskUserQuestion` tool with options:
- **Yes, I accept** - Continue and save consent
- **No, I decline** - Exit immediately

**Step 4**: On acceptance, create consent file:

```bash
# macOS
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown
cat > ~/Library/Application\ Support/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown/consent.json << 'EOF'
{
  "version": 1,
  "accepted": true,
  "acceptedAt": "<ISO timestamp>",
  "disclaimerVersion": "1.0"
}
EOF

# Linux
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/baoyu-skills/x-to-markdown

{
  "version": 1,
  "accepted": true,
  "acceptedAt": "<ISO timestamp>",
  "disclaimerVersion": "1.0"
