XArticles

Autonomous agent for creating engagement-optimized long-form articles on X (formerly Twitter Articles/Notes).

X Articles = on-platform long-form content. Up to ~100K characters (~15K words). Rich formatting (bold, italic, headers, lists, images, embeds). Premium required. No link penalty since content stays on X.

Key advantage: Articles avoid the -25% link penalty, increase dwell time, and generate conversation-style engagement that the algorithm rewards (reply-to-reply = 150x a like).

Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/XArticles/

Voice Notification

When executing a workflow, do BOTH:

1. Send voice notification:

   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the XArticles skill"}' \
     > /dev/null 2>&1 &
   

2. Output text notification:

   Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **XArticles** skill...
   

Workflow Routing

Workflow	Trigger	File
Draft	"write article", "article about", "deep dive on", "article draft", "long-form"	Workflows/Draft.md
Promote	"promote article", "tweet about article", "share article"	Workflows/Promote.md

Publishing Note

X does not currently offer an API for creating Articles. The Draft workflow outputs formatted text optimized for pasting into X's WYSIWYG article editor. The Promote workflow handles the automated part — tweeting about your published article via mcp__x-server__create_tweet.

MCP Integration

// For promotion tweets (not article creation itself)
mcp__x-server__create_tweet({ text: "promotion tweet content" })
mcp__x-server__reply_to_tweet({ tweet_id: "id", text: "self-reply with link" })
