X pulse

--- description: Scan X for what's trending in a topic:themes, voices, hooks, and post ideas powered by Grok + Live Search category: research triggers_ens: ["x pulse", "what is trending on twitter", "scan x for", "twitter pulse"] --- Use the obsidian-second-brain skill. Execute /x-pulse [topic]: 1. Determine the topic from the user’s argument. Multi-word topics are acceptable (“AI automation,” “vibe coding”). If no topic was provided, ask: “What topic should I scan X for?” 2. Run the Python command from the repo root (~/Projects/personal/obsidian-second-brain/): ``bash uv run -m scripts.research.x_pulse "<topic>" 3. The script returns a structured pulse: WHAT'S HOT (themes with rep posts + voices), WHAT'S UNDEREXPLORED (gaps), HOOKS THAT ARE WORKING, VOICE & TONE WORKING, POST IDEAS FOR YOU TODAY. Show the full output to the user verbatim. 4. **Default save behavior: saves automatically.** The script writes an AI-first note to Research/X-pulse/YYYY-MM-DD : <slug>.md with the AI-first vault rule applied (preamble, frontmatter, recency markers, sources verbatim). It also appends a one-line entry to log.md. 5. After printing, mention to the user the file path that was saved (the script prints this on stderr, surface it cleanly). 6. Plain English triggers that route to this command: "what's hot on X about [topic]", "X pulse on [topic]", "what should I post about [topic] today", "scan X for [topic]", "trends on X about [topic]". 7. If the script reports "No active discourse found in last 72h on this topic", offer to either broaden the topic or try /research [topic] instead (Perplexity for general web research). 8. If the script fails with a clear error, surface it verbatim. Auto-retry on transient errors is handled inside the script. --- **AI-first rule:** Every note created or updated by this command MUST follow references/ ai-first-rules.md - ## For future Claude preamble, rich frontmatter ( type , date , tags , ai-first: true , plus type-specific fields), recency markers per external claim, mandatory [[wikilinks]] for every person/project/concept referenced, sources preserved verbatim with URLs inline, and confidence levels where applicable. The vault is for future-Claude retrieval - not human reading. **Anti-fabrication:** Search exhaustively before claiming any note, person, or file is absent - false absence is the most common failure mode - and never invent facts, entities, or dates (mark unknowns as TBD ). See the anti-fabrication and search-completeness hard rules in references/ ai-first-rules.md`.
