must be "like" or "dislike"

Error message

must be "like" or "dislike"

What it means

Thrown by the kimi react command when the positional `kind` argument is anything other than 'like' or 'dislike' (case-insensitive). ArgumentError fires before any navigation or clicking, so this is pure input validation.

Solutions

1. Pass exactly 'like' or 'dislike' (any casing) as the kind argument.
2. Validate/normalize the intent in your script before invoking react.
3. Map alternative user phrasings (thumbs up/down, +1/-1) to the two accepted tokens.

Example fix

// before
await cli('kimi', 'react', { kind: 'thumbs-up' });
// after
const kind = userIntent === 'up' ? 'like' : userIntent === 'down' ? 'dislike' : null;
if (!kind) throw new Error('intent must map to like or dislike');
await cli('kimi', 'react', { kind });

function normalizeReaction(kind) {
  const k = String(kind ?? '').trim().toLowerCase();
  if (k !== 'like' && k !== 'dislike') throw new Error(`kind must be "like" or "dislike", got: ${k}`);
  return k;
}
await cli('kimi', 'react', { kind: normalizeReaction(intent) });

function isReactionKind(v) { return v === 'like' || v === 'dislike'; }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `kimi react` with kind values like 'Like!' , 'thumbs-up', 'up', '1', or an unset variable that stringifies to an empty/other string.

Common situations: Script variables with unexpected casing handled incorrectly (though code lowercases, so casing is fine — the content itself is wrong); passing flag-like values ('--like'); mapping user intents to the wrong token.
