Repurpose Content Across X Formats
Maximize content ROI by transforming a single piece of content into multiple algorithm-optimized formats for X.
Input
The user provides:
- Source content: A post, thread, blog post, README, changelog, talk transcript, or any text
- A URL — blog post, GitHub page, documentation, article, or any web page to repurpose into X content
- Target format (optional): If not specified, suggest the best transformations
URL Resolution
If the input contains a URL, read its content first using WebFetch. See ../../../reference/url-reading.md for tool selection and extraction prompts. Then proceed with the extracted content as your source material.
Transformations Available
Post → Thread
Expand a single high-performing post into a deep-dive thread:
- Use the post's core insight as the thread hook
- Break the supporting points into individual tweets
- Add proof/examples that didn't fit in the original
- Add a CTA closer
- Read ../thread/structures.md for structure patterns
Thread → Post
Distill a thread into a single punchy post:
- Extract the single most shareable insight
- Compress proof into one line
- Add a hook and reply trigger
- Good for re-posting thread content weeks later
Blog Post / README → Thread
Transform long-form content into X threads:
- Identify the 5-7 most compelling points
- Lead with the most surprising finding
- Translate written style to X conversational style
- Add visual suggestions for screenshots from the content
- Remove all links (save for reply)
Changelog / Release → Announcement Post
Transform a technical changelog into an engaging announcement:
- Lead with the user benefit, not the feature name
- Add a specific benchmark or comparison
- Frame in terms of the audience's workflow
- Remove internal jargon
- Read ../compose/templates.md for announcement templates
Single Insight → Multiple Angles
Take one core idea and produce 3-5 different posts, each with a unique angle:
- The insight (straight delivery)
- The contrarian (frame as challenging conventional wisdom)
- The question (turn it into a discussion prompt)
- The tip (frame as actionable advice)
- The story (frame as a personal experience)
Video/Demo Script → Post + Thread
Create both a short post and a companion thread from video content:
- Post: Hook + key result + "full breakdown below"
- Thread: Step-by-step walkthrough of what the video shows
- Suggest timestamps for key moments if applicable
Process
Step 1 — Analyze Source Content
- What is the core message?
- What are the supporting points?
- What proof/data exists?
- What is the target audience?
Step 2 — Select Transformations
If the user specified a target format, use that. Otherwise, recommend the 2-3 most valuable transformations based on the source content.
Step 3 — Execute Each Transformation
Apply the relevant transformation rules above. For each output:
- Apply Phoenix scoring principles (read CLAUDE.md for hierarchy)
- Run through the optimization checklist mentally
- Ensure each piece stands alone (don't assume the reader saw the original)
Step 4 — Enforce Character Limits
Hard limit: 280 characters per tweet. Every output must include character counts.
- Single posts: show
(count/280) — tighten if over
- Threads: show
[Tweet N] (count/280) with --- separators — each tweet must be ≤ 280
- Link replies: show count separately
Step 5 — Output
For each transformation, present:
- The format and rationale
- The complete content with character counts per tweet (ready to copy-paste)
- Phoenix Score for each piece
- Suggested posting schedule (stagger different formats across days, with specific day/time from
reference/timing.md)
- Brief note on which audience segment each angle targets
- Timing reminder: "Post when you can stay available for 30-60 min to reply — that's the 75–150× multiplier window"
Rules
- Each repurposed piece must stand alone — don't reference the original
- Vary hooks across formats (don't reuse the same opening)
- Space repurposed content at least 2-3 days apart
- The thread version should add value beyond the post version (not just longer)
- Preserve the author's voice across all transformations
