What This Skill Does

Analyzes Twitter/X accounts, tweets, trends, and communities using the readx API. Calculates engagement rates, virality ratios, controversy scores, and follower quality metrics rather than returning raw numbers. Works via MCP tools or direct curl API calls when MCP is unavailable.

Automatically computes derived metrics like virality ratio, controversy score, and follower quality instead of requiring manual calculations on raw API data.

When to use it

  • Benchmarking a competitor account's tweet engagement over recent weeks
  • Finding viral posts on a topic filtered by language or minimum likes
  • Comparing follower quality and authority ratio between two accounts
  • Detecting backlash on a tweet by checking reply-to-like ratios
  • Monitoring a Twitter community for emerging discussions around a keyword
