Checking who really follows you

Before a slide, a page or a message says someone follows you (or that you follow them), check it live on X. Engaging with you isn't following you. This page reads it on the account's own session and sends nothing.

Run it from a fresh context

Say: "go on docs/useCases/twitter/followers.md for <handles>", or "for everyone named on <page>". The agent then reads this page and README.md and runs the steps.

The steps

#StepToolDone when

1For each handle: do they follow the account, does the account follow themtwitterFollows { account, handles: "a,b,c" }one answer per handle, from X
2Take anyone who doesn't follow off the "followers" line, or reword the linethe page or copyevery name on it is true today

Handles come from research or from the owner, never guessed (rule 53). The read is 1.5 s per handle, so a long list takes a minute.

What the runs taught

  • People who engage aren't always followers. A slide naming the account's "circle" listed people who had only engaged; two of them didn't follow. Every named follower now gets this check first.
  • The full follower list comes from the account's own session, not from who engaged.

Reading the list

log twitter followers --account <a> (MCP twitterFollowers) reads the account's full follower list on its own session, on the direct-API engine.
