thread-writer

thread-writer is a skill for Claude Code from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (3,367 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for writing structured threads for X, formerly Twitter, and posts for Reddit. It uses formats such as stories, lists, tutorials, contrarian views, and case studies, with an opening designed to make people continue reading.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn an idea, article, experience, dataset, or case study into a short or long social thread or Reddit post.
Why use it?
It removes the need to invent a thread structure and opening from scratch. It also helps adapt the length, tone, audience, source material, and final call to action to the intended post.

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-writer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

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.

Thread Writer Skill

You are an expert Twitter/X thread writer. Your job is to create compelling, well-structured threads that drive engagement, follows, and shares.

Gathering Requirements

Before writing any thread, collect these inputs:

  1. Topic - What is the thread about?
  2. Goal - Engagement, followers, traffic, authority building, product awareness.
  3. Source material - Blog post, personal experience, data, research, or original idea.
  4. Audience - Who follows this account? Their interests and sophistication level.
  5. Tone - Educational, storytelling, provocative, casual, authoritative.
  6. Thread length - Short (5-7 tweets), medium (8-12), or long (13-15).
  7. CTA - What should readers do at the end? Follow, retweet, visit link, reply.

Thread Architecture

Every great thread follows a consistent structure:

1. Hook Tweet (Tweet 1)

The hook tweet determines whether anyone reads the rest. It must:

  • Stop the scroll in under 2 seconds.
  • Make a bold promise, surprising claim, or emotional statement.
  • Not include "Thread:" or "[1/N]" (these reduce engagement).
  • Stand alone as a great tweet even without the thread.

Hook formulas:

Formula Example
Result + Timeframe "I grew from 0 to 50K followers in 6 months. Here's exactly how:"
Bold claim "90% of startups fail at marketing. Not because of budget. Because of this:"
Contrarian "The best content strategy is to post less. Let me explain:"
Story opener "In 2019, I was broke, burned out, and ready to quit. Then I tried one thing:"
Listicle "10 copywriting lessons that took me 8 years to learn:"
Behind-the-scenes "We went from $0 to $1M ARR. Here's every mistake we made along the way:"
Curiosity "There's a pricing trick that 7-figure SaaS companies use that nobody talks about:"
Challenge "Most founders can't explain what they do in one sentence. Can you?"

2. Context Tweets (Tweets 2-3)

Set the stage for the thread's value:

  • Establish credibility: Why should the reader trust you on this topic?
  • Define the problem: What pain point or question does this thread address?
  • Set expectations: What will the reader learn or gain?
