Wtf does this do

Kaitox is a personal toolkit built by its creator to speed up small everyday tasks, and it currently ships one working feature: publishing local Markdown files as X, formerly known as Twitter, Article drafts, complete with images, formatting, and a cover image. More tools are planned to join it over time, all sharing the same underlying setup. The toolkit reaches you through whichever surface fits your workflow. It can be driven by a coding agent like Claude Code or Codex through installable skills, used as a Chrome extension available on the Chrome Web Store, run through an Obsidian plugin, currently pending approval in the official directory so it must be installed manually from GitHub Releases for now, or controlled from a command line tool called kaitox, installed through npm. Under the hood, every Kaitox feature works the same way: a small piece called a pusher packages up your content and sends it to a local relay server running only on your own machine at 127.0.0.1, meaning nothing leaves your computer. A second piece, the consumer, picks up that content and finishes the job, in this case uploading it to X. Because each feature is kept separate by name, new tools can be added later without breaking the ones already working. The project is built as three npm packages written in TypeScript: a relay server, a small protocol library that defines how pieces talk to each other, and the engine specific to the X Article feature. To use Kaitox you need Node.js version 18 or higher, and for the X publishing feature specifically, an active X account you stay logged into plus a Chromium based browser such as Chrome, Edge, or Brave. The project is small, with 15 stars, and is licensed under MIT, meaning it can be used, modified, and redistributed freely, including for commercial purposes, as long as the original copyright notice is kept.
