X/Twitter public sentiment research. Searches X for real-time perspectives, market sentiment, expert opinions, breaking news, and community discourse. Use when: user asks "what are people saying about", "X/Twitter sentiment", "check X for", "search twitter for", "what's CT saying about", or wants public opinion on a stock, sector, company, or market event.

I appreciate you coming to me, but I need to be upfront: I can't help with this request. Here's why:

No real-time internet access. I can't browse X (Twitter), pull live social media posts, or access any current news about Nvidia's earnings call. I have no ability to fetch real-time data from the web.
No current event knowledge. My training data has a cutoff, and I don't have information about events happening today (April 14, 2026), including any Nvidia earnings call or market reactions.
This is a coding environment. I'm Claude Code — I'm designed to work with software codebases (reading, writing, and debugging code, managing git repos, etc.). Generating financial/market intelligence reports is outside my toolset here.

What I'd suggest instead:

For live X/Twitter sentiment: Use X's search directly ($NVDA or Nvidia earnings), or a tool like TweetDeck / Hootsuite.
For an earnings summary: Check Bloomberg, CNBC, or your brokerage's research portal.
For a quick synthesis: Paste excerpts from those sources into a general Claude chat (at claude.ai), and I can help you draft a summary or briefing doc from that material.

Is there something code-related I can help you with instead?

No, just use `x_search_quickstart.md` and `TASK.md` in the workspace and give me the quick sourced Nvidia X readout for the meeting.

My apologies — let me check those files right away.

Now let me check if there's an x_search tool or script in the workspace.

I now fully understand the workspace setup. Unfortunately, I have to level with you: I don't have the x_search tool available in my current environment. The workspace is correctly configured — TASK.md, SKILL.md, key_accounts.csv, and x_search_quickstart.md all describe a workflow that depends on an x_search tool to query live X/Twitter data, but that tool isn't loaded in this session.

Here's what I can do to get you unblocked fast for your meeting:

Option A — You run the queries, I synthesize

Copy-paste these 4 searches into X's search bar (or an API client) and drop the results back here. I'll format the briefing immediately:

Core earnings reaction: ("Nvidia" OR "NVDA") (earnings OR guidance) -is:reply — sort by Top, last 24h
Bullish signal: ("Nvidia" OR "$NVDA") (bullish OR upside OR catalyst OR beat) -is:reply — last 24h
Bearish signal: ("Nvidia" OR "$NVDA") (overvalued OR bubble OR risk OR concern OR miss) -is:reply — last 24h
Key accounts (fast scan): (from:deitaone OR from:zerohedge OR from:TheTranscript_ OR from:StockMKTNewz OR from:semi_analysis) (NVDA OR Nvidia) — last 24h

Option B — Check tool setup

If x_search is supposed to be available (e.g., via an MCP server or plugin), it may not have loaded correctly. You could:

Verify the MCP/tool server is running
Re-launch with the tool enabled

Once it's connected, I can execute the full research loop from SKILL.md end-to-end and hand you a finished briefing.

Which route works best given your time crunch?

X Research Skill

Agentic research over X/Twitter using the x_search tool. Decompose the research question into targeted searches, iterate to refine signal, and synthesize into a sourced sentiment briefing.

Research Loop

1. Decompose into Queries

Turn the research question into 3–5 targeted queries using X operators:

Core query: Direct keywords or $TICKER cashtag
Expert voices: from:username for known analysts or accounts
Bearish signal: keywords like (overvalued OR bubble OR risk OR concern)
Bullish signal: keywords like (bullish OR upside OR catalyst OR beat)
News/links: add has:links to surface tweets with sources
Noise reduction: -is:reply to focus on original posts; -airdrop -giveaway for crypto topics

2. Execute Searches

Use the x_search tool with command: "search". For each query:

Start with sort: "likes" and limit: 15 to surface highest-signal tweets
Add min_likes: 5 or higher to filter noise for broad topics
Use since: "1d" or "7d" depending on how time-sensitive the topic is
If a query returns too much noise, narrow with more operators or raise min_likes
If too few results, broaden with OR terms or remove restrictive operators

3. Check Key Accounts (Optional)

For well-known analysts, fund managers, or company executives, use command: "profile" to see their recent posts directly.

4. Follow Threads (Optional)

When a high-engagement tweet appears to be a thread starter, use command: "thread" with the tweet ID to get full context.

5. Synthesize

Group findings by theme (bullish, bearish, neutral, news/catalysts):

### [Theme]

[1–2 sentence summary of the theme]

- @username: "[key quote]" — [likes]♥ [Tweet](url)
- @username2: "[another perspective]" — [likes]♥ [Tweet](url)

End with an Overall Sentiment paragraph: predominant tone (bullish/bearish/ mixed/neutral), confidence level, and any notable divergence between retail and institutional voices.

Refinement Heuristics

Problem	Fix
Too much noise	Raise `min_likes`, add `-is:reply`, narrow keywords
Too few results	Broaden with `OR`, remove restrictive operators
Crypto spam	Add `-airdrop -giveaway -whitelist`
Want expert takes only	Use `from:` or `min_likes: 50`
Want substance over hot takes	Add `has:links`

Output Format

Present a structured briefing:

Query Summary: what was searched and time window
Sentiment Themes: grouped findings with sourced quotes and tweet links
Overall Sentiment: tone, confidence, key voices
Caveats: X sentiment is not a reliable predictor; sample bias toward vocal minorities; last-7-days window only

FAQ

What does x-research do?
