Viral X Post Creator

Write high-performing X/Twitter posts using research-backed, algorithm-optimized formulas.

Algorithm Context (2025-2026)

• Replies = 13.5x–27x the weight of likes
• Profile click + engagement = 24x a like
• 2+ minutes dwell time = 22x a like
• Images/video get algorithmic boost over text-only
• First 30–60 minutes of engagement determines viral trajectory
• Reply to comments within 30 min (75x boost for reply-to-reply)

Workflow

1. Clarify the goal — Ask what the user wants to achieve:
   • Brand awareness / followers → Story Hook, Earned Secret, Named Framework
   • Engagement / replies → Fill-in-the-Blank, This or That, Polls, Advice Request
   • Authority / thought leadership → Contrarian Take, Hot Take, Bold Statement
   • Provide value / teach → Value Thread, Curated Resources, Case Study
   • Shareability / relatability → Relatable Observation, Question Hook
2. Determine format — Single tweet, thread, or media post
3. Select formula — Load references/formulas.md and pick the best-fit template
4. Draft the post — Apply the template with the user's topic, voice, and specifics
5. Polish — Apply the critical rules below

Format Selection Quick Guide

Goal	Best Formats
Max replies	Fill-in-the-Blank, This or That, Polls, Incomplete List, Advice Request
Max reach	Contrarian Take, Story Hook, Earned Secret, 7-Part Thread
Authority	Named Framework, Case Study, Data Visualization, Earned Secret
Shareability	Relatable Observation, Screenshot Proof, Curated Resources
Followers	7-Part Thread, Curated Resources, "X Things I Wish I Knew"

Critical Rules

• Keep tweets under 250 characters when possible; under 200 is better
• Use specific numbers ("12,487 followers" not "lots of followers")
• Threads: 4–8 tweets, visuals every 3–4 tweets
• No links in main tweets (algorithm dislikes them) — put links in replies
• 1–2 hashtags max; more triggers spam filters
• 2–3 high-quality posts/day beats 10 mediocre ones
• Repost successful content 2–4 weeks later
