Quick answer
Use one X workbench for research, drafts, replies, and viral-post shortlists on AI coding, agents, and models. It researches a topic, drafts in your voice for your approval, and shortlists posts worth studying, instead of asking you to watch the feed all day.

What does this setup do?
Keep up with one X topic, AI coding, agents, or models, with research, drafts, and a shortlist, while you approve everything before it goes out.
Who is it for?
For builders and writers who follow AI coding, agents, or models on X and want a daily research and drafting helper that never posts on its own.
How do you set it up?
Tools
- The X Researcher template by Melvin Vivas, added from its public listing
- One topic to follow, written as a short brief: AI coding, agents, or models
- Your voice notes, so drafts sound like you before you edit them
Steps
- Add the X Researcher template by Melvin Vivas. Note that other templates share the same name from other creators; use the Melvin Vivas listing so you get the one described here.
- Give it one topic brief and ask for research first: what is being said, by whom, and with what evidence.
- Ask for drafts and replies only after the research, and edit every draft before anything goes out. Nothing posts on its own.
- Ask for a viral-post shortlist on the same topic, and study the shortlist for patterns instead of copying posts.
- Review the shortlist weekly and tighten the topic brief when it drifts. A stale brief returns stale posts.
Example output
Illustrative. Your results will differ.
- Research summary on one topic, with who said what
- Draft post and reply, waiting for approval, nothing sent
- Three-post shortlist on the same topic, with patterns noted

Copy-paste prompt
Adapt bracketed fields to your situation.
Research this X topic: [AI coding, agents, or models, plus your angle]. Return what is being said, who is saying it, and what evidence backs it. Then draft [one post or reply] in my voice from that research, and shortlist three viral posts on the same topic worth studying. Do not post, reply, or send anything. Show me every draft for approval first.Newsletter

What usually goes wrong?
Where agents tend to stall on this job. More patterns in Where AI gets stuck.
- Adding the wrong same-name template; check the creator name on the listing first.
- Drafts sent without a read-through; this setup is drafts only by design, so keep it that way.
- A topic brief that drifts; tighten it weekly or the shortlist drifts with it.

What tips make it smoother?

- Research before drafts. Drafts written from a fresh research pass sound less generic.
- Keep the shortlist small. Three posts studied well beat thirty skimmed.
