What it does

Twitter Intelligence is an agent skill from sandbaseai/sandbase-skills. Search tweets, analyze trends, monitor users, and gather social intelligence from Twitter/X through SandBase. Use when asked for Twitter research, social listening, trend analysis, influencer monitoring, sentiment tracking, or competitor social intelligence.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/sandbase-api-map.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Social media posts, Social media marketing and Forecasting and time series. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: 88 installable open-source Agent Skills for research, social intelligence, marketing, and business workflows—compatible with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and DeepSeek… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked for Twitter research
  • Social listening
  • Influencer monitoring
  • Sentiment tracking

Example prompts

  • “/twitter-intelligence”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Frame the research
  2. Search tweets
  3. Discover trends
  4. Analyze users
  5. Deep-dive tweets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbab581. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Twitter Intelligence loads about 943 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~943
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Search tweets, analyze trends, monitor users, and gather social intelligence from Twitter/X through SandBase. Use when asked for Twitter research, social listening, trend analysis, influencer monitoring, sentiment tracking, or competitor social intelligence.

Twitter Intelligence

Full-spectrum Twitter/X research and social listening through SandBase. Search public tweets, discover trends, analyze user profiles, and monitor discussions — all read-only, never posts or engages. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

Use the capability identifiers below as discovery hints, not MCP tool names. Find the matching endpoint with sandbase_discover(q: "<provider and capability>"); use its returned name in sandbase_inspect(name: "<returned name>"). Read inputSchema, pricing, and execute_as, then call sandbase_run using execute_as.arguments.name and schema-defined arguments. If a run_id is returned, poll sandbase_run_get(run_id: "<returned run_id>") within the task budget until completed or failed; report pending or failed runs without resubmitting them automatically.

Operating principles

  • Use Twitter data as social signal evidence, not as representative public opinion.
  • Separate observations (tweet volume, engagement, accounts posting) from interpretation (sentiment, trend direction).
  • Preserve attribution: include tweet URLs, usernames, dates, and engagement metrics.
  • Never post, like, retweet, follow, or engage on behalf of the user.
  • Keep monitored accounts and strategy confidential unless sharing is requested.

Workflow

1. Frame the research

Classify the request:

  • Trend discovery: what's trending, emerging topics
  • Topic monitoring: track discussions around a keyword or brand
  • User analysis: profile, content, followers, engagement patterns
  • Sentiment tracking: how people feel about a topic or brand
  • Competitor intelligence: what competitors post and how audiences respond
2. Search tweets

Use twitter_web_search_timeline for keyword-based tweet discovery:

  • Search for brand names, product names, hashtags, or topic phrases
  • Use negative keywords to filter noise
  • Compare search results for competitors side by side

Use twitter_bulk_tweet_search for higher-volume batch searches.

Show full SKILL.md (168 more words)Show less

Use twitter_web_trending to find what's trending globally or by location.

4. Analyze users

Use twitter_web_user_profile for account details (bio, follower count, verified status). Use twitter_web_user_media and tweet timeline tools for content analysis. Use twitter_web_user_followers / twitter_web_user_followings for network analysis.

5. Deep-dive tweets

Use twitter_web_tweet_detail for specific tweet metrics and thread context. Use twitter_web_latest_post_comments or twitter_web_post_comments for reply analysis.

Output

Return: search scope, tweet volume summary, key accounts involved, sentiment signals, trend indicators, engagement patterns, and evidence gaps.

Example tasks

  • "What are people saying about [brand] on Twitter this week?"
  • "Find trending topics in the AI/tech space right now."
  • "Analyze @competitor's Twitter presence — posting frequency, engagement, top content."
  • "Monitor mentions of [product launch] and summarize sentiment."
  • "Who are the most influential voices discussing [topic] on Twitter?"

Failure handling

  • If SandBase is unavailable, report the failure and do not substitute a direct API.
  • If searches return few results, try broader terms or related hashtags.
  • If a user account is private/suspended, note the gap and continue with available data.
