triggers	tweet, twitter, x thread, post to x, post to twitter, twitter thread, social post, draft tweet, write thread, x/twitter
description	Draft and post single tweets or multi-tweet threads to X/Twitter — always user-approved before posting. Uses post_to_x.py.

X Thread Skill

Auto-activate when the user wants to draft tweets, write threads, or post to X/Twitter.

Quick Commands

/x-thread "Tweet 1\n\nTweet 2\n\nTweet 3"
/x-thread --dry-run "Preview without posting"
/x-thread --date 2026-02-03 "Thread content"

Key Rules

• Always show the thread to the user for approval before posting
• Stock symbols always use $ prefix: $TSLA, $NVDA, $AMD
• Tweets split by \n\n — each chunk = one tweet
• 1.5s delay between tweets (rate limit safety)
• Returns final tweet URL on success

Implementation

• Script: .claude/skills/x-thread/scripts/post_to_x (post to X account)
• Function: post_to_x(tweets: list[str])
• --dry-run previews without API call

Writing Style

World-class literary quality. Financial/tech content: data-driven with narrative. Hook first, insight throughout, strong close. Threads should tell a story, not just list facts.
