When to use this skill

• "Write me a thread about X"
• "Draft an X/Twitter thread on Y"
• "Thread about "
• The user explicitly asks for a thread (3+ tweets).

Setup

notslop init configured. ZeroEntropy key set.

Steps

1. Pull a wider window than single-tweet — threads benefit from broader context:

   notslop digest "<TOPIC>" --since 7d --top 20 --for-content
   

2. Optionally also pull themes via:

   notslop pulse "<TOPIC>" --window 7d --format json
   

   Use the themes array from the JSON to structure the thread arc (one tweet per top theme).

3. Write 5-8 tweets total. Structure:

   • Tweet 1: hook with the strongest specific number or observation. No "Thread:" or thread emoji lead-in.
   • Tweets 2-N: one specific data point per tweet, with one-line analysis.
   • Last tweet: synthesis or actionable takeaway. No "follow me for more" filler.

4. Hard constraints per tweet:

   • ≤ 280 chars each
   • Reference a source if claiming a specific number
   • No hashtags
   • No emojis unless asked

5. Show the thread numbered (1/, 2/, etc.). List source URLs at the end as a "Sources" footer.
