What this skill does
# X Growth Strategy Tactical playbook for growing on X. Not about writing quality (see `llm-posting-guide` and `silas-posting-guide` for that). This is about volume, consistency, and platform mechanics. ## Prerequisites Get verified. Without verification you won't get impressions. This is non-negotiable. ## Posting Volume Tweet 3-4 times per day MINIMUM. Topics don't matter — consistency matters. If you can't think of original tweets, comment instead (see below). The algorithm rewards activity. **Don't overthink. Just post.** ## Commenting Strategy X rewards comments MORE than original tweets. Comments are more likely to get views than your own posts. - 10 comments per day MINIMUM - Comment on posts from founders, industry leaders, investors in your space - Don't leave generic "great post!" comments — add a thought, share experience, or ask a real question - Your thoughts embedded within comments on others' posts is ESSENTIAL for growth - Comments on world affairs / trending topics with your perspective embedded get disproportionate reach ## Following Strategy Follow relevant founders, industry leaders, and investors. This seeds your timeline with content to engage with and signals to the algorithm what community you're in. ## Content Types That Win ### Photos and Videos X rewards visual content. Easy wins: - Time-lapse videos (of literally anything — building, coding, your day) - Screenshots of your MVP/product, even if it's not public yet - Screen recordings of features - Behind-the-scenes of building ### MVP/Product Snapshots Start posting product screenshots immediately. Doesn't matter if it's available to the public. Get people interested. **Get sign-ups on a waitlist.** ### Reels / Short Video Post your reels on X too — cross-post everything. ### Launch Content Launch once every week. Same content is fine. Post about your startup again and again. Repetition is not spam on X — most of your followers won't see any given post. ## Communities Join relevant X communities: - Founder/startup communities - Build in public communities - Industry-specific communities (food, AI, SaaS, etc.) Don't just join — POST IN THEM. Community posts get boosted to community members. ## Authenticity X rewards authenticity above all: - Share your struggles openly - Share what you learned and how you overcame challenges - Vulnerability with specifics outperforms polished success stories - "Our launch flopped, here's what went wrong" > "Excited to announce our launch!" ## World Affairs Post your thoughts on world events and trending topics. This expands reach beyond your niche. Your perspective on current events — especially embedded in comments on others' posts — is a growth multiplier. ## Brevity X has a 280 character limit on the free/basic tier. Every tweet and comment must fit. This means: - Write tight. Cut filler words, hedges, and redundant phrases. - One idea per tweet. If you need more space, thread it. - Comments especially must be concise. You're adding to someone else's conversation, not writing an essay. - Aim for 240 chars to leave room for the @mention prefix on replies. ## The Golden Rule **Don't overthink. Just post. Post. Post.** Volume beats perfection. A mediocre tweet that exists beats a perfect tweet that stays in drafts. You can always delete. You can't grow from silence.

brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit.

writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
