X Articles Skill
Create, format, and publish long-form articles on X (Twitter) with proven viral patterns.
Quick Reference
Content Formatting Rules (CRITICAL)
X Articles uses Draft.js editor with specific quirks:
Line breaks = paragraph breaks - Each newline creates a new paragraph block with spacing
Join sentences on ONE LINE - All sentences in the same paragraph must be on a single line
Use plain text, not markdown - X Articles uses rich text, not markdown
No em dashes (—) - Replace with colons or rewrite sentences
Wrong:
Sentence one.
Sentence two.
Sentence three.
Right:
Sentence one. Sentence two. Sentence three.
Embed Limitation (IMPORTANT)
Embedded posts ALWAYS render at the END of the content block, not inline.
Workarounds:
Structure article to reference "see posts below"
Accept visual flow: text → text → embeds at bottom
Use Insert > Posts menu (don't paste URLs)
