# Xpoz Best Practices ## Overview Xpoz is a social media intelligence platform providing access to **Twitter/X**, **Instagram**, **Reddit**, and **TikTok** data through 48 MCP tools — no social media API keys required. ## When to Use Load this skill for **any Xpoz interaction** — not just when the user explicitly asks about best practices. It provides the context needed to use Xpoz tools correctly: - Calling any Xpoz MCP tool (query syntax, field selection, response modes) - Setting up authentication or tracking - Troubleshooting errors or empty results - Choosing which tool to use for a specific task ## Quick Start The Xpoz MCP server should already be configured by the plugin. If not, run `/xpoz:getting-started`. See **[references/authentication.md](references/authentication.md)** for detailed auth flows and troubleshooting. ## Query Syntax All keyword search tools support boolean query syntax: | Operator | Example | Effect | |----------|---------|--------| | Exact phrase | `"machine learning"` | Matches exact phrase | | OR | `"AI" OR "artificial intelligence"` | Matches either term | | AND | `"Tesla" AND "earnings"` | Matches both terms | | Grouping | `("deep learning" OR "neural network") AND python` | Combines operators | **Date filtering:** Use `startDate` / `endDate` in YYYY-MM-DD format.
