Tweet Crafter Skill
Algorithm Signals (December 2025)
Priority ranking factors:
- First 30 minutes engagement — biggest predictor of reach
- Replies > Retweets > Likes — conversation signals matter most
- Recency — breaking topics get 2x reach vs next-day posts
- X Premium boost — 4x visibility in-network, 2x outside network
Format Selection
Long-form (preferred): Tutorials, essays, deep analysis, "X cosas que aprendí", narratives
Thread: Only when content naturally breaks into discrete numbered points
Performance benchmark:
- Long-form articles: Higher engagement, better reach, preferred by algorithm
- Threads: Lower performance, use sparingly for variety
Default to long-form articles. Threads are no longer the go-to format for educational content. Long-form articles consistently outperform threads on reach and engagement.
Link Posts (NEW — October 2025)
Links are no longer penalized. New in-app browser keeps engagement buttons visible.
Requirements for link posts:
- Write a compelling standalone caption (not just "new post")
- Include interesting description or insight
- Add image when possible (150%+ engagement boost)
Per Elon: "posting a link with almost no description will get weak distribution"
Content Templates
Single Tweet (max 280 chars)
[Hook/insight/question]
[Optional: 1-2 supporting lines]
[Optional: 1 hashtag max]
Thread Format (Use Sparingly)
1/🧵 [Standalone hook that works even without thread]
2/ [First point — strongest insight]
3-N/ [Supporting points]
N/ [CTA: follow, RT first tweet, link to newsletter]
Thread rules:
- 5-15 tweets optimal
- Self-reply immediately after posting (signals thread to algorithm)
- Hook must work standalone — most people only see tweet 1
- Consider converting to long-form article instead — better performance
Long-Form Post (Premium)
[First 280 chars: Hook that appears in timeline — CRITICAL]
[Body: Up to 25,000 chars with bold/italic formatting]
[CTA at end]
Only first 280 characters show in timeline. Front-load the hook.
Media Guidelines
| Type | Engagement Multiplier |
|---|---|
| Video (native, <2:20) | 10x |
| Images | 2-3x |
| Polls | High engagement |
| Plain text | Baseline |
Video specs: Native upload, under 2:20, no external watermarks.
