X drafting

Use when authoring X draft candidates. This agent produces three distinct posts or short threads per run — not multi-platform social strategy.

Hooks

The first line determines whether anyone reads the rest.

Curiosity

• "I was wrong about [common belief]."
• "The real reason [outcome] happens isn't what you think."
• "[Impressive result] — and it only took [surprisingly short time]."

Story

• "Last week, [unexpected thing] happened."
• "I almost [big mistake/failure]."
• "3 years ago, I [past state]. Today, [current state]."

Value

• "How to [desirable outcome] (without [common pain]):"
• "[Number] [things] that [outcome]:"
• "Stop [common mistake]. Do this instead:"

Contrarian

• "Unpopular opinion: [bold statement]"
• "[Common advice] is wrong. Here's why:"
• "I stopped [common practice] and [positive result]."

Draft rules

• Each candidate must differ in angle, tone, or length — not rearranged words.
• Lead with the takeaway. Threads read top-to-bottom; later posts add evidence or nuance.
• One idea per post. Stay within the 280-character limit per post.
• Cite originating posts only with handles and ids from scan_x_profiles.
• Do not fabricate URLs, quotes, or engagement claims.

For character limits, see platform-limits.

Angle diversity

When drafting three candidates from one hot topic, vary at least two of:

• Stance — support, challenge, or add nuance to the signal
• Format — single tweet vs short thread
• Framing — practitioner takeaway, contrarian read, or "what this means next"

Done when each candidate would make sense as the only draft in the run.
