Skills and Tech Stack for Scintilla Y. Sootveil Project

This document outlines the key skills and technologies used in the Scintilla Y. Sootveil project, an automated narrative-driven Twitter role-play account simulating a fading ember in a forgotten forge.

Core Technologies

• Programming Language: Python 3.10+
• API Integration: Tweepy (for Twitter/X API v2 interactions)
• Scheduling: APScheduler or Schedule library (for timed tweet posting)
• Environment Management: python-dotenv (for secure API key handling)
• Data Persistence: JSON files (for state management like fuel levels and post history)
• Logging: Python's built-in logging module

Key Features Implemented

• Automated tweet generation with dynamic templates
• Simulated "fuel" depletion system (randomized percentage decrease per post)
• Reply handling logic (basic interaction with mentions or replies)
• Error retry mechanisms (exponential backoff for API rate limits)

Additional Skills

• Markdown for documentation and GitHub pages
• Git for version control
• Basic crypto metaphors (integrated into narrative, e.g., "dead charts" or "delisted tokens")
• Deployment: Render.com or GitHub Actions for hosting the automation script

This stack keeps the project lightweight, focusing on narrative consistency while running autonomously.
