Build a weekly briefing from public X sources
Track a bounded topic with original links and a clear separation between claims and facts.
What you’ll produce
A source-linked weekly digest with developments, disputed claims, and follow-up questions.
Inputs & connections
- A defined topic and approved public source list
- Date range and relevance criteria
Begin with approved exports or pasted source material. Live access requires separately configured integrations and permissions; this guide does not install them.
Your starting prompt
Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.
Review [public source list] for [topic] during [date range]. Summarize material developments with links, author, and date. Distinguish original reporting, opinion, promotion, and unverified claims. Merge repeated coverage without losing the primary source. Include disagreements and unknowns. Do not post, reply, message users, or change bookmarks. Return a short digest and suggested verification tasks.
How to run it
- 01
Define the topic, trusted starting sources, and relevance criteria.
- 02
Use available X access to collect public posts within the period.
- 03
Trace important claims back to their primary evidence.
- 04
Review the digest manually before considering a recurring routine.
Review before you act
Check original context, dates, source credibility, and whether a claim is being repeated without independent evidence.
Limitations & success checks
- Platform access and search coverage vary.
- Popular posts can be wrong; engagement is not verification.
Measure: Relevant original sources found and unsupported claims clearly identified.
