# Write Twitter Threads

Draft multi-tweet threads on X. This skill produces the thread text; publishing is done through `post-tweets` chaining replies to the previous tweet ID.

## Endpoints

| Endpoint | Purpose | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| POST /compose with mode=thread | Draft a full thread | Compose tier |
| POST /drafts | Save a thread draft | Read tier |

Base URL: `https://xquik.com/api/v1`. Auth: `x-api-key: xq_...` header.

## Quick reference

```
POST /compose
{
  "mode": "thread",
  "prompt": "explain why static sites beat SPAs for blogs",
  "tone": "casual",
  "target_tweet_count": 6
}
-> { thread: [{ text }], total_chars }
```

Each `text` is already within the 280-char limit. The response preserves a natural narrative flow (hook, arguments, conclusion).

## Publishing flow

1. `POST /compose` with `mode: "thread"`.
2. Show all tweets in order to the user and wait for approval.
3. For each tweet in sequence:
   - Post the first via `post-tweets` skill.
   - Capture the returned `id`.
   - Post the next with `reply_to_tweet_id` = previous id.
4. Stop and surface any error instead of continuing silently.

## Confirmation

Never publish a thread without user review of every tweet in order. Threads amplify mistakes - one typo becomes 10 tweets.
