Tweet ID is empty. Please provide a tweet ID to retweet.

Error message

Tweet ID is empty. Please provide a tweet ID to retweet.

What it means

Thrown by handleRetweet when the parsed command's content is falsy — i.e. 'retweet:' was sent with no tweet id. This is a plain Error raised before retweet() is invoked, so no browser action runs.

Solutions

1. Provide a non-empty tweet id (or status URL) after 'retweet:'.
2. Validate content in the parser and reprompt for the id before dispatch.
3. Have the adapter reply with usage guidance instead of throwing.

Example fix

// before
if (content) { await this.twitterServices.tweet.retweet(content) } else {
  throw new Error('Tweet ID is empty. Please provide a tweet ID to retweet.')
}

// after
const id = content?.trim()
if (!id) {
  this.client.send({ type: 'input:text', data: { text: 'Usage: retweet: <tweetId>' } })
  return
}

const id = (content ?? '').trim()
if (!id) {
  throw new Error('Tweet ID required')
}
await adapter.handleRetweet(id)

function isEmptyRetweetIdError(e: unknown): boolean {
  return e instanceof Error && /tweet ID to retweet/i.test(e.message)
}

try {
  await this.handleRetweet(content)
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && /tweet ID to retweet/i.test(e.message)) {
    this.client.send({ type: 'input:text', data: { text: 'Usage: retweet: <tweetId>' } })
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: User sends 'retweet:' with nothing after the colon; parseTwitterCommand matched the 'retweet' prefix but content is empty/whitespace.

Common situations: User forgot to paste the tweet id/status URL; LLM truncated the payload; empty input forwarded by the AIRI input:text event.
