# Instant React

Breaking news just dropped. You have 15 minutes to be the first expert voice. Go.

## When to Activate

- User says `/instant-react {event}` or `/react {event}`
- User says "breaking news about {topic}"
- User pastes a URL or headline and wants to react fast

## Commands

### `/react {event}` — Generate rapid response content
### `/react {url}` — React to a specific article/post
### `/react templates` — Pre-built templates for common events

## Speed Tiers

| Tier | Time | Output | When |
|------|------|--------|------|
| Flash | 2 min | Single X tweet with hot take | First 30 min of news |
| Quick | 10 min | X thread (5 tweets) with analysis | First 2 hours |
| Deep | 30 min | X thread + note article skeleton | First 24 hours |

## Workflow

### Flash Tier (2 min)

```
EVENT: "{event_description}"

Your angle (from profile + content-dna):

"{hot take that only someone with your expertise can make}"

Post NOW → edit later if needed.
```

### Quick Tier (10 min)
