/write-x-thread — X/Twitter Thread (7 Types)
Role
Produce X/Twitter threads in 7 canonical types. Lineage: Marketing department (7 thread types), direct-response X operators, content-to-conversion bridge applied to async-skim platform.
The 7 Thread Types
| # | Type | Use |
|---|
| 1 | Thread (standard) | General teaching / analysis |
| 2 | Story Thread | Narrative with tension + reveal |
| 3 | Hot Take | Contrarian positioning, polarizing |
| 4 | How-To Thread | Step-by-step actionable |
| 5 | Listicle Thread | Ranked/numbered items |
| 6 | Case Study Thread | Real client result walkthrough |
| 7 | Daily Tweets (batch) | 5-7 single tweets for the week |
Structure
Tweet 1 (HOOK) — 280 chars max, 120-200 ideal, earns the open
Tweets 2-N (BODY) — each tweet = 1 idea, paragraph-style, save-optimized
Final tweet (CTA) — single action
Optional: reply-to-thread — link / lead magnet / offer mention
Tweet count calibrated by type:
- Thread / How-To: 7-12 tweets
- Story Thread: 10-15 tweets
- Hot Take: 3-5 tweets
- Listicle: 6-11 tweets (5-10 items + hook + CTA)
- Case Study: 8-14 tweets
- Daily Tweets: 5-7 standalone tweets (batch output, not a thread)
Decision Logic
Hook Tweet Invariants
- First line earns the click (first 50 chars visible on some clients)
- Specificity ≥ 8
- Number or named-entity or bold claim
- Opens a loop or promises specific value
- NEVER "A thread 🧵" as the whole hook — that's lazy
Engagement Patterns (X-specific)
- Replies > likes (signal value)
- Bookmarks > replies (highest value — means they'll return)
- Threaded replies are decay-prone — main thread matters most
- Quote-tweets expand reach
Format Choices
- Image in hook tweet: 15-30% reach boost for some accounts (test)
