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

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
