## Who

I wanted Buffer scheduling without WordPress and without cookie-scraping CLIs.

For people who already know WPZinc wp-to-buffer-pro and want the same OAuth + config shape outside PHP.

## What

I built **buffer-cli**, public https://github.com/michaelmonetized/buffer-cli. HEAD `778ecaf`. **3** commits. **0** stars. Default **main**. Version **0.1.0** (CHANGELOG still **[Unreleased]**). CLI only.

**Shipped (~1892 LOC):** auth, profiles, post, config, tags, info. Bun + commander.

![OAuth WPZinc flow](/blog/buffer-cli-wpzinc-parity-agent-oauth-no-scrape/screenshots/oauth-wpzinc-flow.png)

**Gateway:** Buffer to wpzinc OAuth to localhost:9876 to `~/.buffer-cli`. X-Forwarded-Host www.hustlelaunch.com.

**Parity:** types/config match wp-to-buffer-pro; template tags `{title}` `{url}` `{excerpt}`.

![Docs vs shipped](/blog/buffer-cli-wpzinc-parity-agent-oauth-no-scrape/screenshots/readme-parity-gap.png)

**Gaps:** no queue.ts; no `--from`; token refresh TODO; PLAN mostly unchecked; FALLOW postCommand CRAP 1190.

## Where

Code: https://github.com/michaelmonetized/buffer-cli, public. No live web app.

```bash
bun install && bun run src/index.ts
```

## When

**2026-02-16.** `9b53095` feat: initial implementation (+3097 LOC).

**2026-06-22.** `95fe1c3` nightly: fallow-gate + REVIEW.md.

**2026-06-22.** `778ecaf` nightly to HEAD.

![Commit arc](/blog/buffer-cli-wpzinc-parity-agent-oauth-no-scrape/screenshots/commit-arc.png)

## Why

Buffer's own CLI is gone, and scraping gets you banned. This keeps the WPZinc OAuth + config shape in Bun so agents can schedule without PHP or cookie jars.

**Engagement Q:** Cut README to match HEAD, or finish queue.ts first?
