x-viral-topic: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Find low-follower viral posts on X/Twitter for account-growth topic selection. Use when the user asks for X low-fan hits, Twitter low follower viral posts, 起号选题 from X, niche tweet inspiration, or viral posts ranked by author followers, views, bookmarks, likes, reposts, and replies.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

X Viral Topic

Use this skill to find X posts that significantly outperform the author's follower base.

Quick Start

Run the bundled script from this skill directory:

python3 scripts/search_x_viral_topic.py --topic "AI agent" --days 7 --max-followers 50000 --min-engagement 100 --limit 50 --format markdown

Required environment:

export TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY="..."

TWITTER_API_KEY is also accepted for compatibility with existing ai-trend-search workflows.

Workflow

Convert the user's niche into short query clusters. Prefer exact phrases and product/category terms.
Search twitterapi.io advanced search using both Top and Latest.
Keep broad authority-account search off by default; low-fan discovery should not be dominated by official or celebrity accounts.
Extract tweet metrics and author follower count.
Filter:
- author_followers <= --max-followers
- views >= --min-views or engagement >= --min-engagement
Rank by breakout evidence:
- engagement per follower
- views per follower
- bookmarks per like when bookmarks are present
- freshness inside the requested window
Return JSON for automation or Markdown for topic review.

Query Pattern

Use this shape unless the user gives a specific query:

("keyword one" OR "keyword two") lang:en since:YYYY-MM-DD -filter:replies min_faves:20

For Chinese niches, use both English product terms and Chinese terms when relevant. Keep each query short; many focused queries beat one huge query.

Output Contract

Each result must preserve source and author evidence:

{
  "platform": "x",
  "content_id": "",
  "url": "",
  "title": "",
  "author_id": "",
  "author_name": "",
  "author_handle": "",
  "follower_count": 0,
  "published_at": "",
  "view_count": 0,
  "like_count": 0,
  "comment_count": 0,
  "share_count": 0,
  "save_count": 0,
  "hot_score": 0,
  "breakout_score": 0,
  "evidence": []
}

Read references/scoring.md before changing thresholds or combining X results with other platforms.

Guardrails

Do not treat a post as low-fan if the author follower count is missing unless the user explicitly allows unknown followers.
The API can return empty or malformed responses for over-broad queries; narrow the topic and preserve source_status.
Avoid scraping logged-in browser sessions for X unless the user explicitly asks. The script uses the API path.
Use posts as topic signals and hooks; do not copy thread content wholesale.

# X Viral Topic

Use this skill to find X posts that significantly outperform the author's follower base.

## Quick Start

Run the bundled script from this skill directory:

```bash
python3 scripts/search_x_viral_topic.py --topic "AI agent" --days 7 --max-followers 50000 --min-engagement 100 --limit 50 --format markdown
```

Required environment:

```bash
export TWITTERAPI_IO_KEY="..."
```

`TWITTER_API_KEY` is also accepted for compatibility with existing `ai-trend-search` workflows.

## Workflow

1. Convert the user's niche into short query clusters. Prefer exact phrases and product/category terms.
2. Search `twitterapi.io` advanced search using both `Top` and `Latest`.
3. Keep broad authority-account search off by default; low-fan discovery should not be dominated by official or celebrity accounts.
4. Extract tweet metrics and author follower count.
5. Filter:
- `author_followers <= --max-followers`
- `views >= --min-views` or `engagement >= --min-engagement`
6. Rank by breakout evidence:
- engagement per follower
- views per follower
- bookmarks per like when bookmarks are present
- freshness inside the requested window
7. Return JSON for automation or Markdown for topic review.

## Query Pattern

Use this shape unless the user gives a specific query:

```text
("keyword one" OR "keyword two") lang:en since:YYYY-MM-DD -filter:replies min_faves:20
```

For Chinese niches, use both English product terms and Chinese terms when relevant. Keep each query short; many focused queries beat one huge query.

## Output Contract

Each result must preserve source and author evidence:

```json
{
"platform": "x",
"content_id": "",
"url": "",
"title": "",
"author_id": "",
"author_name": "",
"author_handle": "",
"follower_count": 0,
"published_at": "",
"view_count": 0,
"like_count": 0,
"comment_count": 0,
"share_count": 0,
"save_count": 0,
"hot_score": 0,
"breakout_score": 0,
"evidence": []
}
```

Read `references/scoring.md` before changing thresholds or combining X results with other platforms.

## Guardrails

- Do not treat a post as low-fan if the author follower count is missing unless the user explicitly allows unknown followers.
- The API can return empty or malformed responses for over-broad queries; narrow the topic and preserve `source_status`.
- Avoid scraping logged-in browser sessions for X unless the user explicitly asks. The script uses the API path.
