Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is grow/content because sustained posting and engagement compounding are the skill’s end state, after you have something to talk about. Content subphase covers tweet/thread craft, calendars, and engagement loops specific to X—not generic multi-platform copy alone.
Where it fits
Test which problem framing gets traction in short posts before building full landing copy.
Ship a launch thread with engineered hooks and a profile bio that states who you help.
Run a weekly tweet and reply cadence aligned to X algorithm habits.
Turn product updates into repeatable announcement formats without burning the list.
How it compares
Use for X-only depth instead of social-content when you need threads, reply strategy, and profile optimization—not one-size-fits-all multi-platform posts.

# X/Twitter Growth Engine X-specific growth skill. For general social media content across platforms, see `social-content`. For social strategy and calendar planning, see `social-media-manager`. This skill goes deep on X. ## When to Use This vs Other Skills | Need | Use | |------|-----| | Write a tweet or thread | **This skill** | | Plan content across LinkedIn + X + Instagram | social-content | | Analyze engagement metrics across platforms | social-media-analyzer | | Build overall social strategy | social-media-manager | | X-specific growth, algorithm, competitive intel | **This skill** | --- ## Step 1 — Profile Audit Before any growth work, audit the current X presence. Run `scripts/profile_auditor.py` with the handle, or manually assess: ### Bio Checklist - [ ] Clear value proposition in first line (who you help + how) - [ ] Specific niche — not "entrepreneur | thinker | builder" - [ ] Social proof element (followers, title, metric, brand) - [ ] CTA or link (newsletter, product, site) - [ ] No hashtags in bio (signals amateur) ### Pinned Tweet - [ ] Exists and is less than 30 days old - [ ] Showcases best work or strongest hook - [ ] Has clear CTA (follow, subscribe, read) ### Recent Activity (last 30 posts) - [ ] Posting frequency: minimum 1x/day, ideal 3-5x/day - [ ] Mix of formats: tweets, threads, replies, quotes - [ ] Reply ratio: >30% of activity should be replies - [ ] Engagement trend: improving, flat, or declining Run: `python3 scripts/profile_auditor.py --handle @username` --- ## Step 2 — Competitive Intelligence Research competitors and successful accounts in your niche using web search. ### Process 1. Search `site:x.com "topic" min_faves:100` via Brave to find high-performing content 2. Identify 5-10 accounts in your niche with strong engagement 3. For each, analyze: posting frequency, content types, hook patterns, engagement rates 4. Run: `python3 scripts/competitor_analyzer.py --handles @acc1 @acc2 @acc3` ### What to Extract - **Hook patterns** — How do top posts start? Question? Bold claim? Statistic? - **Content themes** — What 3-5 topics get the most engagement? - **Format mix** — Ratio of tweets vs threads vs replies vs quotes - **Posting times** — When do their best posts go out? - **Engagement triggers** — What makes people reply vs like vs retweet? --- ## Step 3 — Content Creation ### Tweet Types (ordered by growth impact) #### 1. Threads (highest reach, highest follow conversion) ``` Structure: - Tweet 1: Hook — must stop the scroll in <7 words - Tweet 2: Context or promise ("Here's what I learned:") - Tweets 3-N: One idea per tweet, each standalone-worthy - Final tweet: Summary + explicit CTA ("Follow @handle for more") - Reply to tweet 1: Restate hook + "Follow for more [topic]" Rules: - 5-12 tweets optimal (under 5 feels thin, over 12 loses people) - Each tweet should make sense if read alone - Use line breaks for readability - No tweet should be a wall of text (3-4 lines max) - Number the tweets or use "↓" in tweet 1 ``` #### 2. Atomic Tweets (breadth, impression farming) ``` Formats that work: - Observation: "[Thing] is underrated. Here's why:" - Listicle: "10 tools I use daily:\n\n1. X — for Y" - Contrarian: "Unpopular opinion: [statement]" - Lesson: "I [did X] for [time]. Biggest lesson:" - Framework: "[Concept] explained in 30 seconds:" Rules: - Under 200 ch
