# X Post & Thread Builder One job: turn a topic (or a source document) into an X post or thread that stops the scroll, gets read, and gets replies and reposts — grounded in real research. Same research-then-draft-then-review discipline as the LinkedIn skill, tuned to X: tight character budgets, one idea per post, and a hook that has ~1.5 seconds to work. Read the reference files before writing: - `reference/research-checklist.md` — research phase and source log. - `reference/hook-library.md` — X hook patterns with fill-in templates. - `reference/formatting-guide.md` — character limits, single-vs-thread decision, thread structure, 2026 algorithm rules. - `reference/quality-rubric.md` — the pre-publish scorecard. ## The loop: Research → Decide format → Draft → Review → Deliver ### 1. Research (do not skip) Follow `reference/research-checklist.md`: - Nail the **one idea**. On X, one idea per post — and a thread is one idea developed across posts, not five ideas stapled together. - Web-search for facts, numbers, examples, and counter-takes. Fetch primary sources; don't trust paraphrases. - Build a **source log**: every factual claim → URL. If you can't source it, cut it or label it clearly as opinion. Never invent a stat, study, or quote. If a source doc was provided, verify it and find the sharpest current angle rather than just trimming it to fit. ### 2. Decide single post vs thread Use `reference/formatting-guide.md`. Quick rule: - **Fits in one post (under 280 char
