Alfred Search: X

Scope: X/Twitter timeline only. 50-100 posts minimum.

Required Context

• context/RESEARCH_CONFIG.md — topics of interest, target X accounts

Process

1. Search Timeline

1. Navigate to X timeline (x.com/home or following feed)
2. Scroll through timeline, searching 50-100 posts minimum
3. For each high-signal post:
   • Capture author and handle
   • Extract key insight or claim
   • Note engagement (likes, retweets) if notable
   • If it's a thread, summarize the full thread
4. Group posts by theme (AI, startups, markets, etc.)
5. Add judgment — is this signal or noise? Is this person credible on this topic? What's the contrarian view?

2. Verify URLs

Every URL must be opened and verified before citing. For X posts use https://x.com/{handle}/status/{id} format. If exact URL can't be verified, use search link as fallback. Never cite a URL without opening it first.

3. Write Report

Output: outputs/YYYY-MM-DD-HHmm-search-x.md (local time)

This skill does NOT search web articles — that's alfred-search-web.
