Installation

1. Make sure you have Composer

2. Clone the twitter-bot repository into the workbench and install dependencies

   git clone https://github.com/phosphore/twitter-bot.git workbench/twitter-bot
   cd workbench/twitter-bot
   composer install
   

3. Register an application and change the consumerKey, consumerSecret, accessToken and accessTokenSecret from 'events/bot.json'

4. Customize the replies

5. Open bot.php and change the path for your json configuration file

6. Set up a cron job to execute bot.php

You may also want to play with the code in bot.php. I tried to comment it as much as possible for your understanding, but you may need to read the Twitter API's doc to have an idea of what kind of objects are returned.

Demo

Squarify bot uses this piece of software. You can tweet an image mentioning @squarifybot and it will reply with the modified picture.
