Catch the angle traveling before you write

How it’s set up

1. In Grok Bot, create a bot named Scout and connect X.
2. Paste the reconstructed prompt below in as its standing instructions, then tell it the one job: viral tweet finder.
3. Give 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. Run it on demand; it acts once you approve each step.
5. Watch the first few runs, correct anything off, then let it hold the job. Adapt the connected tools to match your own stack.

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.

Why it’s cool

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.
