# Send TwitterApi Research 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

### X Research

General-purpose agentic research over X/Twitter. Decompose any research question into targeted searches, iteratively refine, follow threads, deep-dive linked content, and synthesize into a sourced briefing.

For twitterapi.io API details (endpoints, operators, response format): read references/x-api.md.

### CLI Tool

All commands run from this skill directory:

cd ~/clawd/skills/x-research
source ~/.config/env/global.env  # needs TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY

### Search

bun run x-search.ts search "<query>" [options]

Options:

--sort likes|impressions|retweets|recent — sort order (default: likes)
--since 1h|3h|12h|1d|7d — time filter (default: last 7 days). Also accepts minutes (30m) or ISO timestamps.
--min-likes N — filter by minimum likes
--min-impressions N — filter by minimum impressions
--pages N — pages to fetch, 1-25 (default: 5, ~20 tweets/page)
--limit N — max results to display (default: 15)
--quick — quick mode: 1 page, max 10 results, auto noise filter (-is:retweet -is:reply), 1hr cache, cost summary
--from <username> — shorthand for from:username in query
--quality — filter low-engagement tweets (≥10 likes, post-hoc)
--no-replies — exclude replies
--save — save results to ~/clawd/drafts/x-research-{slug}-{date}.md
--json — raw JSON output
--markdown — markdown output for research docs

Auto-adds -is:retweet unless query already includes it. All searches display estimated API cost.

Note: twitterapi.io search covers full archive (not limited to 7 days). Time filtering uses since: operator in the query.

Examples:

bun run x-search.ts search "BNKR" --sort likes --limit 10
bun run x-search.ts search "from:frankdegods" --sort recent
bun run x-search.ts search "(opus 4.6 OR claude) trading" --pages 2 --save
bun run x-search.ts search "$BNKR (revenue OR fees)" --min-likes 5
bun run x-search.ts search "BNKR" --quick
bun run x-search.ts search "BNKR" --from voidcider --quick
bun run x-search.ts search "AI agents" --quality --quick

### Profile

bun run x-search.ts profile <username> [--count N] [--replies] [--json]

Fetches recent tweets from a specific user (excludes replies by default).

### Thread

bun run x-search.ts thread <tweet_id> [--pages N]

Fetches full conversation thread by root tweet ID.

### Single Tweet

bun run x-search.ts tweet <tweet_id> [--json]

### Watchlist

bun run x-search.ts watchlist                       # Show all
bun run x-search.ts watchlist add <user> [note]     # Add account
bun run x-search.ts watchlist remove <user>          # Remove account
bun run x-search.ts watchlist check                  # Check recent from all

Watchlist stored in data/watchlist.json. Use for heartbeat integration — check if key accounts posted anything important.

### Cache

bun run x-search.ts cache clear    # Clear all cached results

15-minute TTL. Avoids re-fetching identical queries.

### Research Loop (Agentic)

When doing deep research (not just a quick search), follow this loop:

### 1. Decompose the Question into Queries

Turn the research question into 3-5 keyword queries using X search operators:

Core query: Direct keywords for the topic
Expert voices: from: specific known experts
Pain points: Keywords like (broken OR bug OR issue OR migration)
Positive signal: Keywords like (shipped OR love OR fast OR benchmark)
Links: url:github.com or url: specific domains
Noise reduction: -is:retweet (auto-added), add -is:reply if needed
Crypto spam: Add -airdrop -giveaway -whitelist if crypto topics flooding

### 2. Search and Extract

Run each query via CLI. After each, assess:

Signal or noise? Adjust operators.
Key voices worth searching from: specifically?
Threads worth following via thread command?
Linked resources worth deep-diving with web_fetch?

### 3. Follow Threads

When a tweet has high engagement or is a thread starter:

bun run x-search.ts thread <tweet_id>

### 4. Deep-Dive Linked Content

When tweets link to GitHub repos, blog posts, or docs, fetch with web_fetch. Prioritize links that:

Multiple tweets reference
Come from high-engagement tweets
Point to technical resources directly relevant to the question

### 5. Synthesize

Group findings by theme, not by query:

### [Theme/Finding Title]

[1-2 sentence summary]

- @username: "[key quote]" (NL, NI) [Tweet](url)
- @username2: "[another perspective]" (NL, NI) [Tweet](url)

Resources shared:
- [Resource title](url) — [what it is]

### 6. Save

Use --save flag or save manually to ~/clawd/drafts/x-research-{topic-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md.

### Refinement Heuristics

Too much noise? Add -is:reply, use --sort likes, narrow keywords
Too few results? Broaden with OR, remove restrictive operators
Crypto spam? Add -$ -airdrop -giveaway -whitelist
Expert takes only? Use from: or --min-likes 50
Substance over hot takes? Search with has:links

### Heartbeat Integration

On heartbeat, can run watchlist check to see if key accounts posted anything notable. Flag to Frank only if genuinely interesting/actionable — don't report routine tweets.
