  • Trigger-based workflow for fast iteration: Activates immediately when your message begins with xr and supports optional original-post context for better relevance.
  • Branding and formatting constraints: Avoids emojis and em dashes, uses no quotation marks, and limits hashtags to when they fit naturally.
