v3.3.0 — Chat-first trading + social tools

The version that makes Franklin different from every other AI agent.

Users can now ask "what's BTC looking like?" or "find X posts about ai agent" directly in the chat. Franklin uses real tools to answer. No CLI subcommands to memorize. No config files. Just talk.

New tools

All registered as standard agent tools alongside Read/Write/Bash/Grep. The LLM decides when to call them based on your natural language.

Trading

• TradingSignal — fetches live price from CoinGecko, computes RSI(14), MACD, Bollinger Bands, annualized volatility, returns a directional signal
• TradingMarket — price lookup, trending coins, or top-20 market overview

Social

• SearchX — searches x.com for relevant posts, returns candidates with snippets and product-relevance scores
• PostToX — posts a reply to X (requires user confirmation — Franklin will NOT post without you saying yes)

Welcome message

On startup, Franklin now shows what makes it different:

Try something only Franklin can do:
  "what's BTC looking like today?"       ← live market signal
  "find X posts about ai agent"          ← social growth
  "generate a hero image for my app"     ← AI image gen
Or just code — 55+ models ready, no API keys needed.

Zero new dependencies

CoinGecko free API (no key). Technical indicators are pure math. Social tools reuse existing playwright-core from v3.2.0.

Architecture

Chat-first, not CLI-first. Users learn Franklin's style in conversation, then graduate to franklin social run --live for automated batch mode when they trust it.
