X Engagement Skill 🎯
Automatically find people discussing pain points related to your X post and reply with helpful context + link.
Trigger
Run manually after posting, or hook to post notifications:
x-engage <post-url>
Workflow
1. Analyze Post
- Extract topic, pain point addressed, keywords
- Identify the solution being offered
2. Search for Targets
Find people who:
- Are complaining about the problem you solved
- Are discussing the topic with questions
- Are building similar things and would benefit
- Are new users who need the tip
Search queries to try:
- Direct pain:
"[problem] frustrating" OR "[problem] annoying"
- Questions:
"how to [topic]" OR "[topic] help"
- Ecosystem:
@[relevant_account] [topic]
- New users:
"just installed [product]" OR "trying [product]"
3. Filter Targets
Good targets:
- Recent posts (< 24h ideal, < 48h max)
- Have engagement (not bots)
- Genuine pain/question (not promotional)
- Not already replied to by us
Skip:
- Promotional/spam accounts
- Posts with 0 engagement and suspicious patterns
- Already have 50+ replies (won't be seen)
- Competitors or hostile accounts
4. Craft Replies
Each reply must:
- Be contextual to THEIR specific post
- Offer genuine value (not just a link drop)
- Include link to your post naturally
- Be under 280 chars
- Sound human, not templated
Reply formula:
[Acknowledge their point] + [How this helps] + [Link]
Examples:
- "The context struggle is real. This saves state BEFORE it fills — game changer. [link]"
- "Already built exactly this. [link]"
- "Pro tip for new users: grab this early. Trust me. [link]"
