x-search
Guides how to search X/Twitter posts via the x_search tool with date bounds, trusted account scoping, operator-based queries, and reconciliation against web search.
What it does
MUST read before searching X/Twitter with the x_search tool. When xAI is connected: date-bound every time-sensitive query (from_date >= yesterday, widen to 7 days), scope trusted accounts with allowed_x_handles, phrase queries as latest/recent with since:/from:/filter: operators, split into 2-3 searches by account and by keyword, and reconcile against web_search. Triggers: X search, Twitter search, tweets, posts on X, what people are saying on X, x_search, social signal.
Quality judgment
Exceptionally actionable: covers tool discovery, date-bounding, handle scoping, operator usage, a concrete three-pass recipe, result citation rules, web_search reconciliation, cost, and backtest maintenance. Triggers are broad and reasonable; minor deductions for example handles that may be opaque and no explicit failure-mode examples beyond empty results.
