-| `chirpie post <text>` | Create a post. `-a` account (repeat it for several accounts), `-m` media files or URLs, `--alt` descriptions, `--config` per-account overrides, `-s` schedule, `--draft` save without sending |
-| `chirpie thread <post> <post> ...` | Create a 2 to 25 post thread, or 1 to 25 with `--draft`. `-a` is repeatable, `--config` takes per-account posts, `-f` takes a JSON payload file |
-| `chirpie posts` | List posts. `--status`, `--account`, `--group`, `--limit` |
+| `chirpie post <text>` | Create a post. `-a` account (repeat it for several accounts), `-m` media files or URLs, `--alt` descriptions, `--config` per-account overrides, `--first-comment` a comment published under the post as soon as it goes out, `-s` schedule, `--draft` save without sending |
+| `chirpie thread <post> <post> ...` | Create a 2 to 25 post thread, or 1 to 25 with `--draft`. `-a` is repeatable, `--config` takes per-account posts, `--first-comment` posts a comment under the last part, `-f` takes a JSON payload file |

+| `chirpie posts update <id>` | Edit a post that has not published yet, or finish a draft. `--text`, `--media`, `--alt`, `--clear-media`, `--first-comment` (`""` removes it), `--schedule-at`, `--keep-draft`. Leaving `--schedule-at` out keeps the time it already has |
 | `chirpie posts publish <id>` | Send a saved draft now. `-t` sets the final text first |
-| `chirpie posts delete <id>` | Delete a post. Deleting any post of a scheduled thread cancels the thread |
+| `chirpie posts first-comment <id>` | Post a first comment that failed, again. It re-sends the text the post already carries |
+| `chirpie posts delete <id>` | Take a post down from the platform. Chirpie keeps it, marked deleted. Deleting any post of a scheduled thread cancels the thread. Instagram and TikTok offer no delete API and refuse with `delete_unsupported` |
+| `chirpie posts hide <id>` / `unhide <id>` | Hide a post from your Chirpie listings, or show it again. Nothing reaches the platform |
 | `chirpie accounts` | List connected accounts, active and inactive |
 | `chirpie accounts activate <id>` / `deactivate <id>` | Choose which accounts publish. Deactivating cancels that account's scheduled posts |
 | `chirpie accounts disconnect <id>` | End a connection. Cancels that account's scheduled posts, frees a plan slot, and removes the stored credential, so reconnecting means authorizing again. Asks first; `-y` skips the prompt |
