Creating Viral Tweets
This skill specializes in crafting high-engagement content for X.com, focusing on brevity, "punchy" hooks, and the specific writing style that performs well on the platform.
When to use this skill
- When you want to share an insight, news, or opinion in a very concise format.
- When you need to summarize a complex topic into a single tweet or a thread.
- When you want to maximize visibility using X-native formatting and hashtags.
Workflow
-
Extraction:
- Identify the "core insight" from the user's topic.
- Determine the intended tone (e.g., Bold, Educational, Humorous, Provocative).
-
Drafting:
- Write the "Hook" (the first sentence) to be ultra-short and intriguing.
- Use the remaining space for the "Meat" (the value) and a "Call to Action" (CTA).
- Ensure the total length is well within 280 characters (aim for <200 for better readability).
-
Viral Pass:
- Apply "X Formatting": Use line breaks, lists, and bold declarations.
- Add 1-2 relevant hashtags (X algorithm prefers fewer, more specific hashtags).

Instructions
1. The "X Style" Guide
- Brevity is King: If you can say it in 5 words, don't use 10.
- Strong Openers: Start with a punchy statement (e.g., "Software engineering is 10% coding, 90% thinking.").
- White Space: Don't use blocks of text. Use line breaks to make the tweet scroll-friendly.
2. Thread Logic (Optional)
If the topic is too big for one tweet, output a "Thread" format:
- Tweet 1: The Hook + "A thread 🧵"
- Tweets 2-N: Sequential insights.
- Final Tweet: Summary + CTA (Follow/Retweet).
3. Safety & Guidelines
- Follow Twitter Safety Guidelines.
- Avoid misinformation, offensive language, or spammy behavior.
- Ensure content is relevant and adds value to the conversation.
