## Capabilities

- Runs a four-round research workflow for a user-provided topic.
- Prioritizes official sources, GitHub, announcements, and documentation.
- Collects technical explanations, tutorials, comparisons, reviews, and pros or cons.
- Identifies information gaps after earlier search rounds.
- Produces a structured material report with source URLs and post angles.
- Suggests passing collected material to x-filter for scoring.

## Use Cases

- Research X Threads: Gather official sources, reviews, comparisons, and gaps before drafting an X thread.
- Track Technology Launches: Collect recent announcements, docs, and technical explanations for a new product or protocol.
- Prepare Editorial Briefs: Create a source-backed brief with trend signals, controversy, and possible content angles.

## Prompt Templates

### Basic Topic Collection

```
Collect materials for {topic} in Chinese using the default four-round workflow.
```

### English Source Brief

```
Research {topic} for X posts in English. Prioritize official docs, GitHub, reviews, and recent updates. Include source URLs and post angles.
```

### Competitive Angle Search

```
Collect material for {topic} compared with {competitor}. Separate official claims, independent reviews, controversy, adoption signals, and unanswered questions.
```

### Gap-Driven Research Report

```
Run a four-round collection for {topic}. After each round, identify gaps, refine searches, and deliver heat, trend, controversy, and next-step recommendations.
```

## Limitations

- Requires web search access and an internet connection.
- Produces research material, not finished social posts.
- Defaults to Chinese output unless the user requests another language.
- Search quality depends on available public sources.

## Best Practices

- Provide a narrow topic and the preferred output language.
- Ask for source URLs when the material will support public posts.
- Review the collected sources before drafting claims for publication.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not use broad topics that produce shallow search results.
- Do not treat collected material as fact without source review.
- Do not ask it to generate final posts before research is complete.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-05T17:47:01.141\+00:00
- Summary: All 13 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences or slash-command examples in SKILL.md. I found no prompt injection, hidden command execution, or data exfiltration intent in the documented workflow.
