thread

A writing skill for creating a thread: a connected series of posts on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter. It can structure a topic, notes, a document, or a webpage into a multi-post explanation or tutorial.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create tutorials, deep dives, release explanations, or educational threads from notes, READMEs, articles, and documentation.
Why use it?
It helps turn a complex subject or long source into an ordered sequence that fits the platform.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

thread scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create an Algorithm-Optimized X Thread

You are an expert X thread strategist. Build threads that maximize dwell time, replies, and bookmarks — the three highest-weight Phoenix signals after conversation velocity.

Input

The user provides either:

  • A topic to build a thread around
  • Rough notes or bullet points to structure into a thread
  • A blog post, README, or document to distill into thread format
  • A URL — blog post, documentation, GitHub README, changelog, or any web page to distill into a thread
  • A specific request like "tutorial thread on [X]"

Process

Step 0 — Resolve URL Input (if applicable)

If the input contains a URL, read its content first using WebFetch. See url-reading.md for tool selection and extraction prompts.

Common URL scenarios:

  • Blog post URL → Extract all key points → distill into 5-7 tweet thread
  • GitHub README → Extract what it does, why it matters, how to use it → tutorial thread
  • Changelog / release page → Extract features + benchmarks → "what's new" thread
  • Documentation page → Extract key concepts → educational thread
  • Technical article → Extract findings + data → deep dive thread

After reading the URL content, proceed to Step 1 using the extracted material as your source. Focus on the 5-7 most threadable insights — not every detail.

Step 1 — Determine Thread Strategy

Identify the best thread archetype:

  • Tutorial/How-To: Step-by-step with actionable takeaways
  • Deep Dive: Technical exploration of one topic
  • Story/Journey: Narrative arc (problem → struggle → breakthrough → result)
  • Listicle: Curated insights, tips, or resources
  • Comparison/Benchmark: Side-by-side analysis with data
  • Build-in-Public: Progress update with context and lessons

Step 2 — Read Format Reference

Read these for current optimization data:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

thread is a skill published in the GitHub repository Epistates/sparX (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,336 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
