## Research Process

### 1. Define Research Scope

Use x-navigation patterns to:

1. Navigate to X.com
2. Search for the topic using relevant keywords
3. For each search result page:
   - Use `read_page` to extract tweet content
   - Note: author, date, engagement, content
   - Scroll to load more posts
4. Visit key accounts discussing the topic
5. Check trending hashtags related to topic

### 3. Extract Key Information

- **Content**: Full text of the tweet
- **Engagement**: Likes, retweets, replies, quotes
- **Timestamp**: When it was posted

```markdown
