.claude/skills/web-search-advanced-tweet/# Web Search Advanced - Tweet Category
## Tool Restriction (Critical)
ONLY use `web_search_advanced_exa` with `category: "tweet"`. Do NOT use other categories or tools.
## Filter Restrictions (Critical)
The `tweet` category has **LIMITED filter support**. The following parameters are **NOT supported** and will cause 400 errors:
- `includeText` - NOT SUPPORTED
- `excludeText` - NOT SUPPORTED
- `includeDomains` - NOT SUPPORTED
- `excludeDomains` - NOT SUPPORTED
- `moderation` - NOT SUPPORTED (causes 500 server error)
## Supported Parameters
### Core
- `query` (required)
- `numResults`
- `type` ("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")
### Date filtering (ISO 8601) - Use these instead of text filters!
- `startPublishedDate` / `endPublishedDate`
- `startCrawlDate` / `endCrawlDate`
### Content extraction
- `textMaxCharacters` / `contextMaxCharacters`
- `enableHighlights` / `highlightsNumSentences` / `highlightsPerUrl` / `highlightsQuery`
- `enableSummary` / `summaryQuery`
### Additional
- `additionalQueries` - useful for hashtag variations
- `livecrawl` / `livecrawlTimeout` - use "preferred" for recent tweets
## Token Isolation (Critical)
Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:
- Agent calls `web_search_advanced_exa` with `category: "tweet"`
- Agent merges + deduplicates results before presenting
- Agent returns distilled output (brief markdown or compact JSON)
- Main context stays clean regardless of search volume
## When to Use
Use this category when you need:
- Social discussions on a topic
- Product announcements from company accounts
- Developer opinions and experiences
- Trending topics and community sentiment
- Expert takes and threads
## Examples
Recent tweets on a topic:
```
web_search_advanced_exa {
"query": "Claude Code MCP experience",
"category": "tweet",
"startPublishedDate": "2025-01-01",
"numResults": 20,
"type": "auto",
"livecrawl": "preferred"
}
