# Twitter/X Post Skill

## Single Tweet Format

- Maximum 280 characters
- Lead with the most compelling point
- Use numbers or data when possible
- End with a link placeholder or call-to-action
- 1-2 hashtags max (optional)

## Thread Format (for longer content)

- **Tweet 1**: Hook + preview of what's coming (e.g., "A thread on X:" or "Here's what I found:")
- **Tweets 2-N**: One idea per tweet, numbered (1/, 2/, 3/)
- **Final tweet**: Summary + call-to-action + link
- Keep each tweet self-contained (people share individual tweets)
- 4-8 tweets is the sweet spot for engagement

## Tone

- Concise and punchy
- Opinionated takes perform better than neutral summaries
- Use plain language -- no corporate speak
