Hand it an article or a half-formed opinion. It writes down what you believe first, picks a post shape to match, then scores its own drafts and rewrites the weak ones before you see a single post. ## What it produces - **The claim goes first.** Every post opens on your take, with the number that backs it right behind. ![An X post by Atharva Shah that opens on a Reddit thread ranking first for a keyword that costs 53.29 dollars a click.](https://atharvashah.com/ai-skills/x-threads/scene-1.webp) - **Posts that stand alone.** Each post carries one checkable claim and reads fine with no thread around it. ![A dark-mode X post about a marketing count that appeared in 19 places while the data file held 54.](https://atharvashah.com/ai-skills/x-threads/scene-2.webp) - **Threads that hold up.** A long take splits into posts that each make one point you could quote. ![Two connected posts from a posted X thread on Claude Code memory layers, CLAUDE.md and primer.md.](https://atharvashah.com/ai-skills/x-threads/scene-3.webp) ## Opinions in. Posts that start arguments out. Set up your voice once. Then every batch of posts goes through three steps. 1. **Give it the material.** Paste an article, a note, or a list of opinions. It writes one sentence per post that states what you believe and would defend. 2. **It rotates the shapes.** One-liner, staircase, greentext, heuristic, dialogue, and ten more. Each post gets one shape, and no two in a row share one. 3. **Read the scored set.** It grades every post on five points and rewrites any post below the bar. You get the finished set and the score table. ## Tweet generators write summaries. Ask a chatbot for tweets about an article and you get the article, shortened. A post needs a position. ### X Posts - **Take before text.** It states your position before it writes a word. - **Fifteen shapes.** Each post gets one and the set rotates them. - **Scores its own drafts.** Weak posts get rewritten before you see them. - **One payment.** Plus the Claude plan you already use. ### Tweet generator apps - **Source first.** Posts open with "A new study found" and lose the reader. - **One shape, fifteen times.** Every post reads like the one above it. - **Thread furniture.** Numbered parts and a thread emoji on every idea. - **A monthly plan.** Credits run out in the week you have the most to say. ### Ghostwriters - **Their opinions.** Takes you would not defend in the replies. - **A bill per post.** Daily posting gets expensive fast. - **Slow on news.** The moment passes before the draft arrives. - **Vague numbers.** "A lot" and "recently" where your real figures belong. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can AI write tweets that sound like me? This skill starts from your opinion, rotates fifteen post shapes, and scores each draft, so the result reads as your take rather than a generic tweet. ### Does it write threads? No. It writes standalone posts that each work alone. If your account allows long posts, one long post carries what a thread used to. Several posts in one batch never depend on each other. ### Why no links in the posts? X shows posts with outbound links to fewer people. It names the tool or gives the substance away so the post pays off on X. ### Which Claude plan do I need? Any paid plan that runs skills. Pro is enough for daily posting. ### What else do I pay for? Nothing. It does not post for you or connect to your X account. ### What is a post shape? A proven structure such as a one-liner, a staircase, a greentext, or a heuristic. The shape changes how you think about the idea, which is why the set rotates them. ### What is the judge pass? It scores each post on claim, specificity, register, whether it stands alone, and whether it fits its shape. Anything under the bar gets rewritten before handover. ### Will it make up numbers? No. Every figure comes from the material you give it. A line that scans better than the truth gets rewritten to the truth. ### Can it match a lowercase, casual style? Yes. Register is part of your voice file, so it can write casual and lowercase or plain and formal. ### What if the first batch misses? Tell it which posts you would not publish and why. It rewrites them and adds the reason to your voice file. ### Does this skill work with Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot? Yes, with one caveat. The skill is a SKILL.md folder in the Agent Skills open standard, which Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot all load. It is built and tested on Claude Code. Steps that lean on Claude-only features, such as parallel subagents, run one after another or need a manual step in other agents. ### How do I install an agent skill? Copy the skill folder into your agent's skills directory: ~/.claude/skills for Claude Code, or the skills folder your agent documents for Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or Copilot. The agent reads the description and loads the skill when your request matches it. Each skill ships with a setup guide for any tool it needs.
