# X Research Skill

X/Twitter research agent powered by Composio. Zero API cost.

Search for real-time discussions, breaking news, expert opinions, and engagement data.

## Commands

### Search
```
/x search <query> [--sort likes|recent] [--since 1h|1d|7d] [--limit N] [--pages N] [--json] [--markdown]
```
Search recent tweets (last 7 days). Supports engagement sorting, time filtering, pagination, and multiple output formats (default, `--json` for raw data, `--markdown` for research documents).

### Profile
```
/x profile <username> [--count N] [--replies] [--json]
```
Fetch recent tweets from a specific user. Excludes replies by default. Use `--json` for raw data.

### Thread
```
/x thread <tweet_id> [--pages N]
```
Reconstruct a full conversation thread from a root tweet ID.

### Single Tweet
```
/x tweet <tweet_id> [--json]
```
Fetch and display a single tweet with engagement metrics. Use `--json` for raw data.

### Cache
```
/x cache clear                  Clear search cache
```
Manage the in-memory search cache (15-minute TTL).

### Watchlist
```
/x watchlist                    Show all tracked accounts
/x watchlist add <user> [note]  Add user to watchlist
/x watchlist remove <user>      Remove user from watchlist
/x watchlist check              Check recent tweets from all watchlist accounts
```
Track accounts of interest. Watchlist is session-scoped (in-memory).

## Research Workflow

For deep research on a topic:

1. Decompose your question into 3-5 targeted search queries
2. Search with different sort modes (likes for signal, recent for breaking)
3. Follow high-engagement threads for context
4. Check profiles of key accounts found in results
5. Add important accounts to watchlist for monitoring

## Search Operators

Composio supports standard X search operators:

- `"exact phrase"` — Match exact text
- `from:username` — Tweets from a user
- `-is:retweet` — Exclude retweets (added by default)
- `-is:reply` — Exclude replies (use `--no-replies`)
- `#hashtag` — Filter by hashtag
- `has:links` — Only tweets with links
- `lang:en` — Filter by language

## Examples

```
/x search "prediction markets" --sort likes --since 7d
/x search "polymarket whale" --since 1d --limit 5
/x search "AI agents" --markdown
/x profile polyaborat --count 10
/x thread 1234567890 --pages 3
/x watchlist add vitalikbuterin "ETH creator"
/x watchlist check
```

## Environment Variables

- `COMPOSIO_API_KEY` — Your Composio API key (free tier available)
- `COMPOSIO_CONNECTION_ID` — Your Composio X/Twitter connection ID

Get both at https://composio.dev after connecting your X account.
