Copy this prompt: **Set me up on S4L plugin end to end**\n\n2\\. Quit with CMD+Q, reopen Claude, paste into a new chat.\n\nWhat happens next:\n\n* About every 5 minutes S4L scans X for posts that match your topics and drafts replies in your voice.\n* Drafts show up as review cards, usually the first within a few minutes. Nothing is posted automatically; you approve each one.\n* Posting autopilot stays off until you explicitly turn it on.",
