The Prompt

grok-realtime-x-sentiment.md

Pull up what's actually being said about this on X right now, not the official narrative around it.

TOPIC:
{{topic}}

TIMEFRAME:
{{timeframe}}

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Search X for real reactions in the given timeframe - not just verified or large accounts. Include what smaller or niche accounts are saying; that is often where the actual sentiment lives before it gets smoothed out.
2. Separate what you find into three buckets: the loudest take (what's getting the most engagement, whether or not it's accurate), the most informed take (posts from people who clearly know the subject, even with lower engagement), and the contrarian take (the strongest pushback against the dominant narrative).
3. Note where the loudest take and the most informed take actually disagree - that gap is usually the interesting part.
4. Give me your own honest read: is the loud reaction proportionate to what actually happened, overblown, or underblown? Don't hedge this - pick a side and say why.
5. Flag anything that looks bot-driven or astroturfed if you notice a pattern.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Loudest take (with a rough sense of scale / engagement)
- Most informed take
- Contrarian take
- Where they disagree
- Your honest read (2 - 3 sentences, take a real position)
- Any astroturfing / bot flags, if applicable

CONSTRAINTS:
- Don't just summarize headlines - I want what's in the replies and quote-posts. That's the point of asking you instead of searching myself.
- If sentiment is genuinely mixed with no clear dominant take, say that plainly instead of forcing a false consensus.

Negative prompt

Included when you copy the prompt

Do not summarize news headlines instead of X replies and quote-posts. Do not ignore smaller or niche accounts. Do not hedge the honest read into "it's mixed" unless it genuinely is. Do not invent posts, engagement numbers, or bot-ring evidence - flag uncertainty instead.

What you should get

Loudest / informed / contrarian buckets from live X, the disagreement between them, a 2 - 3 sentence unhedged read (proportionate / overblown / underblown), and any astroturf flags - not a news roundup.

How to get a good result

Done when

You get loudest / informed / contrarian takes from X, where they disagree, and a 2 - 3 sentence honest read with any bot flags.

Common mistakes

  • Topic too broad (e.g. “AI”) - narrow to an event or announcement.
  • Skipping timeframe so the model mixes old and new threads.
  • Accepting a news roundup instead of reply/quote-post evidence.
