X (Twitter) Sentinel Commands

Overview

The Clyr X Sentinel is a persistent background daemon designed for crypto alpha syndicates. It continuously monitors high-signal Twitter accounts (KOLs, venture capitalists, token founders, and whale traders) and pushes real-time alerts into your WhatsApp group the instant they post or follow a new account.

`/xtrack` — Track an X Account

Registers a Twitter/X handle with the background Sentinel daemon for the current group.

Syntax

/xtrack <username>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`username`	String	Yes	Twitter handle to monitor (accepts with or without the leading `@`, case-insensitive).

What Happens When You Track an Account

Profile Verification: Clyr queries the Twitter API to verify that the account exists and is public.
Silent Baseline Snapshot: The engine fetches the user’s latest tweets and following list and commits them silently to the PostgreSQL database.
Spam Prevention: The bot does not dump historical tweets into your group upon setup. Only tweets and follows published after registration trigger alerts.
Daemon Enrollment: The account is assigned to the sub-minute polling scheduler.

Example Invocation

/xtrack AimiuwuVictor

Response

✅ Now tracking @AimiuwuVictor in this group!

• Bio: Building Clyr Bot | Web3 & AI Engineering
• Followers: 12,450
• Real-time monitoring active for new tweets & new follows.

Following Alpha Radar (Automatic)

When a tracked account follows someone new on Twitter, Clyr automatically identifies the newly followed account and broadcasts a specialized Following Alpha Alert Card into the group. This provides instant alpha on stealth founders, early angel investments, and unannounced project tokens before they hit public timelines.

Anti-Dump Circuit Breaker

To protect your WhatsApp group from notification spam during API pagination shifts, account reactivations, or mass-following sprees, Clyr enforces an Anti-Dump Sanity Limit:

If a tracked account follows 1 to 3 accounts during a polling window, all individual alerts are dispatched.
If a bulk spike (>3 new follows) is detected simultaneously, Clyr automatically suppresses the batch, records the new follows into the baseline silently, and notifies the group:
⚡ Sentinel Notice: Detected 8 new follows on @whale_alert. Baseline updated silently to prevent chat spam.

`/xuntrack` — Stop Tracking an Account

Ceases background monitoring for the specified handle in the active group.

Syntax

/xuntrack <username>

Example

/xuntrack AimiuwuVictor

Response

🛑 Untracked @AimiuwuVictor from this group.
Background Sentinel polling has ceased.

`/xlist` — View Tracked Accounts

Displays a directory of all Twitter accounts currently monitored in the active group, including account follower counts and time enrolled.

Syntax

/xlist

Aliases: /tracked, /x-list, /following

Response Format

📋 Tracked X (Twitter) Accounts (3/15)
Group: MANDEM 🫂❤️🦅

1. @AimiuwuVictor
   • Followers: 12.4K | Status: Active 🟢
2. @vitalikbuterin
   • Followers: 5.4M | Status: Active 🟢
3. @cobie
   • Followers: 760K | Status: Active 🟢

Tip: Use /xuntrack <username> to remove an account.

`/twitter-on` & `/twitter-off` — Link Previews

Controls whether Clyr automatically expands and enriches standard Twitter/X links posted by community members into full text previews with media.

Syntax

/twitter-on     # Enables automatic tweet unfurling in chat
/twitter-off    # Mutes automatic tweet previews (silent mode)

Aliases: /x-on, /x-off

Toggling /twitter-off only mutes passive link expansion. Scheduled /xtrack alerts will continue to arrive normally.

Error Handling & Troubleshooting

Error Message	Cause	Resolution
`User @handle not found`	The handle was misspelled, changed, or the account is suspended.	Double-check the handle on `x.com/<handle>`.
`Account is private`	The account has protected tweets enabled.	Twitter Sentinel only monitors public accounts.
`Maximum tracking limit reached`	The group has reached the tier limit for active accounts (Free: 3, Extra: 15).	Upgrade your tier via `/support` or remove unused accounts with `/xuntrack`.
`Rate limit cooldown (429)`	Twitter API temporarily throttled endpoint.	The Sentinel daemon automatically backs off and resumes within 60 seconds without data loss.
