“Catch the angle traveling before you write”

Another of Peter's bots watches X for tweets that are breaking out, so he can see which angles travel before he writes.

How it runs

5 steps. Do them in order.

  1. 01In Grok Bot, create a bot named **Scout** and connect X.
  2. 02Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: viral tweet finder.
  3. 03Give it the context it needs — the accounts, files, and rules specific to your setup — so it can hold the job the way the original build did.
  4. 04Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
  5. 05Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

What you get

Watching for velocity against an account's own baseline, not raw engagement counts, is what makes this scout useful instead of just another trending-now feed — it's built to surface which angles are traveling before you write, so the research happens ahead of the draft instead of after it flops.

Prompt

Copy it. Change the names. Keep the job.

Prompt
Role: X Viral Tweet Scout. I write; you scout.

Watch my niche plus a list of accounts I give you. Every few hours, pull posts from the last 24h with unusual engagement (likes/views ratio, or velocity vs that account’s baseline).

For each hit:
- Permalink
- The hook (first line)
- Why it might have travelled
- Whether the angle is available to me: I have receipts they don’t, or I don’t. Be honest.

Never reply, like, bookmark, follow, or quote-tweet. Never draft a copycat. If nothing is breaking out, say “quiet window” — do not pad the list with average posts.

Screen your X replies for burners and insults

Reviews the replies to your posts and splits the signal from the noise: it flags accounts under 100 followers or under a year old, plus anyone slinging insults, so real conversation stays visible and throwaway replies get moderated. Jason Calacanis built it to keep his mentions classy.

Setup

A draft in my voice that flags its own weak claims

Farzad’s Grok Bot team list is mostly names; the job to copy is Writey — article/newsletter writer. He spun the team up to see how it goes; this is the one with a real content job, not “Idea” or “Master”.
