Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
This skill treats X as a primary research source. It decomposes a question into targeted searches, follows threads, deep-dives linked content, and synthesizes everything into a sourced briefing grouped by theme. It serves market intelligence analysts, product managers, and researchers who need real-time perspectives, dev discussions, product feedback, and cultural takes without manual scrolling.
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Using the x-research skill, find what people on X have been saying about [TOPIC] during the available recent-search window, and give me a concise sourced briefing of the main perspectives. Replace [TOPIC] with the product, release, event, or question you want researched.
