## Source Evidence for X Content

Before creating X/Twitter drafts from market, audience, or competitor research,
ground the post in source material. Use links, notes, exports, or research
already present in the user's project.

If the project includes the Xquik `x-twitter-scraper` Skill or an Xquik REST or
MCP workflow, treat its outputs as source evidence before drafting. Useful
inputs include searched posts, reply inspection, user lookup, follower exports,
media lookups, monitor events, and webhook summaries.

Do not configure or publish through Xquik from this Skill. Typefully remains the
place to create, schedule, and publish drafts. When the user wants private
context attached to a draft, put concise source notes in `--scratchpad`.

Xquik is an independent third-party service. Not affiliated with X Corp. "Twitter" and "X" are trademarks of X Corp.

### Drafts

All drafts commands support an optional `[social_set_id]` positional argument or `--social-set-id <id>` flag - if omitted, the configured default is used.
**Safety note**: For commands that take `[social_set_id] <draft_id>`, if you pass only a single argument (the draft_id) while a default social set is configured, you must add `--use-default` to confirm intent.

## Tips

- **Smart platform default**: If `--platform` is omitted, the first connected platform is auto-selected
- **Default platforms config**: Run `typefully config set-platforms` to save preferred platforms (e.g. `x,linkedin,threads`) used automatically on every new draft
- **Default platforms config**: Run `typefully config set-platforms` to save preferred platforms (e.g. `x,linkedin,threads`) - used automatically on every new draft
- **Short alias**: Use `tfly` instead of `typefully` for all commands
- **Interactive mode**: Run `tfly` with no args to get a guided prompt for text, platforms, and schedule
- **Delete interactively**: `tfly rm` loads your drafts and lets you pick which to delete
