# Send Twitter Search to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### Overview

Search Twitter for keywords using advanced search syntax, fetch up to 1000 relevant tweets, and analyze the data to produce professional reports with insights, statistics, and actionable recommendations.

### Prerequisites

API Key Required: Users must configure their Twitter API key from https://twitterapi.io

The API key can be provided in three ways:

Environment variable (recommended): Set TWITTER_API_KEY in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
echo 'export TWITTER_API_KEY="your_key_here"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc


As an argument: Use --api-key YOUR_KEY with the wrapper script
Passed directly: As first argument to the Python script

### Using the Wrapper Script (Recommended)

The wrapper script automatically handles environment variable loading and dependency checks:

# Basic search (uses TWITTER_API_KEY from shell config)
./scripts/run_search.sh "AI"

# With custom API key
./scripts/run_search.sh "AI" --api-key YOUR_KEY

# With options
./scripts/run_search.sh "\\"Claude AI\\"" --max-results 100 --format summary

# Advanced query
./scripts/run_search.sh "from:elonmusk since:2024-01-01" --query-type Latest

### Direct Python Script Usage

# Search for a keyword
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "AI"

# Search with multiple keywords
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "\\"ChatGPT\\" OR \\"Claude AI\\""

# Search from specific user
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "from:elonmusk"

# Search with date range
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "Bitcoin since:2024-01-01"

### Advanced Queries

# Complex query: AI tweets from verified users, English only
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "AI OR \\"machine learning\\" lang:en filter:verified"

# Recent crypto tweets with minimum engagement
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "Bitcoin min_retweets:10 lang:en"

# From specific influencers
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "from:elonmusk OR from:VitalikButerin since:2024-01-01"

### Output Format

# Full JSON with all tweets
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "AI" --format json

# Summary with statistics (default)
scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "AI" --format summary

### Options

--max-results N: Maximum tweets to fetch (default: 1000)
--query-type Latest|Top: Sort order (default: Top for relevance)
--format json|summary: Output format (default: summary)

### 1. Understand User Requirements

Clarify the analysis goal:

What topic/keyword to search?
Date range preference?
Specific users to include/exclude?
Language preference?
Type of insights needed (trends, sentiment, influencers)?

### 2. Build the Search Query

Use Twitter Advanced Search syntax:

SyntaxExampleDescriptionkeywordAISingle keyword"phrase""machine learning"Exact phraseORAI OR ChatGPTEither termfrom:userfrom:elonmuskFrom specific userto:userto:elonmuskReply to usersince:DATEsince:2024-01-01After dateuntil:DATEuntil:2024-12-31Before datelang:xxlang:enLanguage code#hashtag#AIHashtagfilter:linksfilter:linksTweets with linksmin_retweets:Nmin_retweets:100Minimum retweets

### 3. Fetch Data

Execute the search script:

scripts/twitter_search.py "$API_KEY" "YOUR_QUERY" --max-results 1000 --query-type Top

Important: Default is 1000 tweets maximum. The script automatically:

Paginates through all available results
Stops at 1000 tweets (API limit consideration)
Handles errors gracefully

### 4. Analyze and Generate Report

After fetching data, produce a comprehensive professional report with:

Report Structure

Executive Summary (2-3 sentences)

What was searched
Key findings overview



Data Overview

Total tweets analyzed
Date range of data
Query parameters used



Key Metrics

Total engagement (likes, retweets, replies, quotes, views)
Average engagement per tweet
Language distribution
Reply vs. original tweet ratio



Top Content Analysis

Most retweeted tweets (with URL links to original tweets)
Most liked tweets (with URL links to original tweets)
Top hashtags with frequency
Most mentioned users
Selected tweet examples with full URL references



Influencer Analysis

Top users by follower count
Most active users
Verified user percentage



Trend Insights (based on data patterns)

Key Takeaways

3-5 bullet points of core insights
Data-backed conclusions



Actionable Recommendations

Prioritized by impact

Analysis Guidelines

Be data-driven: Every claim should reference actual metrics
Provide context: Explain why metrics matter
Identify patterns: Look for trends across the dataset
Stay objective: Present facts, avoid speculation
Be specific: Recommendations should be concrete and actionable
Consider external context: Use web search for background when relevant

### 5. Output Format

Present the report in clear markdown with:

Headers for each section
Tables for structured data
Bullet points for lists
Bold for key metrics
Code blocks for tweet examples
Clickable URLs for all referenced tweets (format: [@username](https://x.com/username/status/tweet_id))

Tweet URL Format

Always include clickable links to tweets:

| Author | Tweet | URL |
|--------|-------|-----|
| @user | Summary of tweet content | [View](https://x.com/user/status/123456) |

Or inline format:

- **@username**: Tweet summary - [View Tweet](https://x.com/username/status/123456)

### Trend Analysis

Read this when: Building complex queries or understanding data structure.

### Tips for Better Analysis

Use Top query type for trend analysis (more relevant results)
Set date filters for timely insights
Filter by language for accurate text analysis
Include minimum engagement to filter noise
Combine with web search to validate trends
Look beyond metrics - analyze content themes
Track hashtags to identify sub-conversations
Identify influencers by combining followers + engagement

### Error Handling

If the script fails:

Check API key validity
Verify query syntax
Ensure network connectivity
Check rate limits (if applicable)
Review error messages for specific issues
