## What it does

The skill pulls tweets using the `apidojo~tweet-scraper` actor hosted on Apify. By default, the workflow targets a sample of 500 tweets from the past 7 days in English, skipping retweets to cut duplicate noise. You can refine queries with filters for verified profiles, specific authors, media attachments, dates, and engagement thresholds.

Collected text gets categorized into positive, negative, or neutral buckets using lexicon triggers and emoji signals. High-engagement posts carry greater weight in the final distribution. The skill extracts three to five recurring themes per sentiment bucket, pointing out exact grievances or praise topics alongside post excerpts.

An active `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable is strictly required. Execution runs via `node scripts/run_actor.js`, an Apify MCP server, or raw `curl` calls against the Apify REST API.
