# Brand Influencers Skill

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive influencer discovery and partnership opportunity analysis. It fetches users discussing a brand, classifies them by reach tier, voice type, and sentiment, then identifies the best partnership candidates and rising stars.

## When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks about:
- "Find influencers for [BRAND]"
- "Partnership opportunities for [BRAND]"
- "Who's talking about [BRAND]?"
- "Top voices on [BRAND/TOPIC]"
- "Influencer discovery for [BRAND]"
- "Brand ambassadors for [BRAND]"

## XPOZ MCP Data Flow

### Step 1: Query Expansion (CRITICAL!)

Expand the brand name to capture all mentions:

```
NVIDIA → "NVIDIA" OR "$NVDA"
Tesla → "Tesla" OR "$TSLA"
```

### Step 2: Fetch Users (200+ required)

```
Use getTwitterUsersByKeywords with:
- query: Expanded brand query
- fields: ["id", "username", "name", "description", "followersCount", "relevantTweetsCount", "relevantTweetsLikesSum", "relevantTweetsRetweetsSum"]
- userPrompt: "Finding influencers discussing [BRAND]"
```

**CRITICAL: Async Polling Pattern**
1. The API returns an `operationId`
2. Call `checkOperationStatus` with that operationId
3. Poll until status is "completed" (up to 8 times, ~5 seconds between)

### Step 3: Fetch Sample Tweets

```
Use getTwitterPostsByKeywords with:
- query: Same expanded query
- fields: ["id", "text", "authorUsername", "createdAtDate", "likeCount", "retweetCount"]
- userPrompt: "Fetching sample tweets for influencer quotes"
```

### Step 4: Classification Logic

**Tier Classification (by follower count):**

| Tier | Followers | Icon |
|------|-----------|------|
| Mega | 1M+ | Crown |
| Macro | 100K-1M | Star |
| Micro | 10K-100K | Sparkle |
| Nano | <10K | Dot |

**Voice Type Classification:**

| Voice Type | Indicators |
|------------|------------|
| analyst | "analysis", "research", financial terms |
| trader | "trade", "position", "calls", options language |
| news | media outlet, journalist, news in bio |
| official | brand account, verified brand |
| researcher | PhD, professor, research institution |
| influencer | creator, content, social media focus |
| founder | CEO, founder, co-founder, startup founder |
| interviewer | podcast host, show host, media interviewer |
| community | fan accounts, community managers, enthusiast groups |

**Sentiment Classification:**
- **positive**: Bullish, supportive, enthusiastic language
- **leaning_positive**: Generally favorable but measured
- **neutral**: Factual, balanced, no clear stance
- **leaning_negative**: Concerns expressed but not hostile
- **negative**: Bearish, critical, hostile language

**Partnership Score (0-100):**

Calculate based on:
- Sentiment (positive/neutral = higher score)
- Reach (follower count)
- Engagement rate
- Content relevance

**CRITICAL RULE: Official brand accounts MUST have partnership_score = 0**
- @nvidia, @NVIDIAGeForce, @NVIDIAAI = partnership_score: 0
- Partnership opportunities are for INDEPENDENT voices only

**Rising Star Detection:**
- engagement_rate > 2% AND followers < 50K
- Flag: is_rising_star = true

## Instructions for Claude

### CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS

1. **FETCH REAL USER DATA** - You MUST call `getTwitterUsersByKeywords` and fetch real users. Do NOT generate fake influencer data.

2. **USE EXPANDED QUERIES** - Always expand brand names to include ticker symbols.

3. **ASYNC POLLING** - Poll `checkOperationStatus` until status is "completed".

4. **OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS = 0 PARTNERSHIP SCORE** - Any account that is an official brand account (voice_type: "official") MUST have partnership_score = 0. These are not partnership opportunities.

5. **CALCULATE ENGAGEMENT RATE** - Use formula: (likes + retweets) / followers * 100

6. **DETECT RISING STARS** - Flag accounts with engagement_rate > 2% AND followers < 50K

### Voice Type Detection Rules

- **analyst**: Bio contains "analyst", "research", "analysis", financial credentials
- **trader**: Bio contains "trader", "trading", "options", "$" references
- **news**: Media outlet, journalist title, news organization
- **official**: Brand account, corporate account, verified brand
- **researcher**: PhD, professor, academic institution
- **influencer**: "creator", "content", large following without other signals
- **founder**: Bio contains "CEO", "founder", "co-founder", startup references
- **interviewer**: Bio contains "host", "podcast", "interviewer", media show references
- **community**: Fan accounts, community managers, enthusiast groups, unofficial fan pages

### Data Collection Steps

1. Accept brand name from user
2. Expand query with ticker symbol
3. Call `getTwitterUsersByKeywords` with expanded query
4. Poll `checkOperationStatus` until complete
5. Call `getTwitterPostsByKeywords` for sample tweets
6. Poll `checkOperationStatus` until complete
7. Classify each user by tier, voice type, sentiment
8. Calculate partnership scores (official = 0!)
9. Detect rising stars
10. Identify critical voices
11. Render React artifact with all categories
12. Generate standalone HTML report
