General-purpose X/Twitter research agent. Searches X for real-time perspectives, dev discussions, product feedback, cultural takes, breaking news, and expert opinions. Works like a web research agent but uses X as the source. Use when: (1) user says "x research", "search x for", "search twitter for", "what are people saying about", "what's twitter saying", "check x for", "x search", "/x-research", (2) user is working on something where recent X discourse would provide useful context (new library releases, API changes, product launches, cultural events, industry drama), (3) user wants to find what devs/experts/community thinks about a topic. NOT for: posting tweets, account management, or historical archive searches beyond 7 days.

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 X API details (endpoints, operators, response format): read references/x-api.md.
CLI Tool
All commands run from this skill directory.
Repo-local (this project):
cd .codex/skills/x-research
You must set X_BEARER_TOKEN (X/Twitter API bearer token). See README.md.
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, 1-5 (default: 1, 100 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
--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.
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 "$BNKR (revenue OR fees)" --min-likes 5
bun run x-search.ts search "BNKR" --quick
bun run x-search.ts search "BNKR" --from voidcider --quick
bun run x-search.ts search "AI agents" --quality --quick
Profile
bun run x-search.ts profile <username> [--count N] [--replies] [--json]
Fetches recent tweets from a specific user (excludes replies by default).
Thread
bun run x-search.ts thread <tweet_id> [--pages N]
Fetches full conversation thread by root tweet ID.
Single Tweet
bun run x-search.ts tweet <tweet_id> [--json]
Watchlist
bun run x-search.ts watchlist # Show all
bun run x-search.ts watchlist add <user> [note] # Add account
bun run x-search.ts watchlist remove <user> # Remove account
bun run x-search.ts watchlist check # Check recent from all
Watchlist stored in data/watchlist.json. Use for heartbeat integration — check if key accounts posted anything important.
Cache
bun run x-search.ts cache clear # Clear all cached results
Use --save flag or save manually to ~/clawd/drafts/x-research-{topic-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md.
Refinement Heuristics
Too much noise? Add -is:reply, use --sort likes, narrow keywords
Too few results? Broaden with OR, remove restrictive operators
Crypto spam? Add -$ -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.
