ESixBot

Dedicated worker repository for generating the daily word cloud and posting it to Twitter/X. The website and experimentation surface now live in the sibling repository at ../ESixWebFun.

Current Scope

• ESixBot.Domain — bot job entities and contracts for orchestration, persistence, and Twitter posting
• ESixBot.Application — orchestration and word cloud generation services used by the worker
• ESixBot.Infrastructure — dependency wiring, persistence, and third-party integrations
• ESixBot.Bot — Worker Service host with scheduled and manual execution modes

Bot Usage

# Scheduled mode (runs daily at 06:00 UTC)
dotnet run --project src/ESixBot.Bot

# Manual mode for a specific date
dotnet run --project src/ESixBot.Bot -- --date 2026-04-08

Configuration

Keep sensitive values out of appsettings.json and use .NET user secrets for local development.

Local Secret Checklist

• E621:Username — required before any e621 API call.
• E621:ApiKey — required before any e621 API call.
• Twitter:BearerToken — required before any Twitter/X API call.
• E621:UserAgent — required configuration for e621 requests, but not a secret; keep it in appsettings.json or environment-specific config.

dotnet user-secrets set "E621:Username" "your_e621_username" --project src/ESixBot.Bot
dotnet user-secrets set "E621:ApiKey" "your_e621_api_key" --project src/ESixBot.Bot
dotnet user-secrets set "Twitter:BearerToken" "your_twitter_bearer_token" --project src/ESixBot.Bot

Solution Layout

• ESixBot.slnx is the worker-focused solution for this repository.
• It includes the bot host plus the application and infrastructure test projects that validate the worker stack.
