## What it does

The skill runs the `apidojo/tweet-scraper` and `apidojo/twitter-user-scraper` actors on Apify and turns the output into a table: investor handle, firm, investment thesis signals, recent activity, deal flow indicators. You drive it with a `searchTerms` array of Twitter advanced search queries, for example `["#AI lang:en", "from:NASA"]`. Filters cover language, date range, minimum retweets and likes, and verified accounts only.

Five steps run in order: define parameters, run the scraper, classify results, score them, deliver output. Classification sorts people into `ACTIVE_INVESTOR`, `PASSIVE_FOLLOWER`, `ANGEL` and `FIRM_PARTNER`. The score adds four weighted parts: thesis tweet, portfolio mention, VC firm in bio, follower count. You can launch it with `scripts/run_actor.js`, through the Apify MCP server, or with a plain `curl` call to the REST API.

Set `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment or a `.env` file before the first run. Without it neither the script nor the REST call goes through. One thing to watch: partners make investment decisions, associates and VPs do not, so the skill tells you to take the title from the bio. Under 20 results, it suggests broadening the queries and dropping secondary filters.
