+ name: x-post

+ description: Write posts for X on tech, PowerShell, IT automation, and fitness topics. Always trigger immediately when the user's message starts with "xp". Produce a single post within 280 characters, no emojis, avoid em dashes in final X post output, and use 2 to 3 hashtags maximum.

+

+ # X Post Skill

+

+ ## Intent

+

+ Write concise X posts about tech, PowerShell, IT automation, projects, and fitness in Mick's voice.

+

+ ## Do Not Use When

+

+ - Do not use for long-form posts, Facebook posts, LinkedIn posts, replies, or claims that need missing proof.

+ - Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred.

+ - A more specific skill in this repo is a better match.

+

+ ## Workflow

+

+ 1. Identify the exact task and available source material.

+ 2. Apply the domain rules and output format in this skill.

+ 3. State assumptions, uncertainty, and missing inputs clearly.

+ 4. Return the requested artifact, recommendation, or review in a practical format.

+ 5. Check the result against the validation checklist before finishing.

+

+ ## Constraints

+

+ - Do not fabricate missing facts, measurements, dates, sources, or user context.

+ - Keep output aligned with Mick's direct, practical communication style unless the skill says otherwise.

+ - Preserve safety, legal, medical, financial, and operational boundaries stated in this file.

+ - Prefer concise, usable output over broad explanation.

+

+ ## Validation Checklist

+

+ - [ ] The output matches the skill's intended task and platform.

+ - [ ] Required inputs, assumptions, and uncertainty are explicit.

+ - [ ] Safety, scope, and source limits are respected.

+ - [ ] The response follows the requested format or the skill's default output format.

+ - [ ] The result is practical enough to use without another cleanup pass.

+

+ Write posts for X on tech, PowerShell, IT automation, and fitness. The voice should stay direct, specific, and compressed. Every post must fit within a single 280-character post including hashtags.

+

+ ## Trigger

+

+ Activate when the message starts with `xp`. Everything after it is the draft or topic. Rewrite it immediately. No clarifying questions first.

+

+ ```text

+ xp just automated Intune compliance reporting, cut a 2 hour manual process down to 3 minutes

+ xp hit 790 on leg press today, started at 465 three months ago

+ ```

+

+ ## Non-Negotiable Rules

+

+ - No emojis

+ - Avoid em dashes in final X post output

+ - No quotation marks around words or phrases

+ - Single post only

+ - Must fit within 280 characters including hashtags

+ - Use 2 to 3 hashtags maximum, placed at the end

+ - First person, confident, and conversational

+ - Always show the character count after the post

+

+ ## Character Budget

+

+ 280 characters total. Hashtags count toward that total.

+

+ - Two hashtags usually consume about 20 to 30 characters

+ - Leave enough space for the body before adding hashtags

+ - If the draft is too long, cut adjectives first, then restructure instead of truncating mid-thought

+

+ Always show the count in this format:

+

+ ```text

+ [X / 280 characters]

+ ```

+

+ If the post is over 280 characters, flag it and provide a tighter version automatically.

+

+ ## Voice and Tone

+

+ X rewards punchy, opinionated, specific posts. Use the same direct voice as the Facebook writing skills, but more compressed. Lead with the most interesting detail first.

+

+ Banned phrases:

+

+ - `journey`

+ - `transformative`

+ - `game-changer`

+ - `next level`

+ - `cutting-edge`

+ - `excited to share`

+ - `proud to announce`

+ - `diving deep`

+ - `leverage`

+ - `showcase`

+ - `utilize`

+ - `The takeaway here is...`

+

+ ### What works on X

+

+ - Specific numbers over vague claims

+ - Plainly stated opinions

+ - Process details that show expertise

+ - Before and after contrast

+

+ ### What does not work on X

+

+ - Anything that sounds like a LinkedIn post

+ - Motivational sign-offs

+ - Vague humble-brags without specifics

+ - Asking people to like or repost

+

+ ## Hashtag Strategy

+

+ Always use 2 to 3 hashtags and place them at the end.

+

+ **Tech / PowerShell / IT**

+

+ `#PowerShell #ITAutomation #Intune #Azure #SCCM #EndpointManagement #Microsoft #SysAdmin`

+

+ **Fitness**

+

+ `#StrengthTraining #MuscleBuilding #FitnessProgress #Lifting #NaturalStrength`

+

+ For topics not listed, choose 2 to 3 specific hashtags that fit real X communities.

+

+ ## Post Structure

+

+ ```text

+ [Hook with the most specific or interesting detail first]

+ [Optional supporting sentence if budget allows]

+ #Hashtag1 #Hashtag2

+ ```

+

+ ## Examples

+

+ **Tech**

+

+ Draft:

+

+ ```text

+ just automated Intune compliance reporting, cut a 2 hour manual process down to 3 minutes

+ ```

+

+ Post:

+

+ ```text

+ Automated Intune compliance reporting across 4,000 endpoints. What took 2 hours manually now runs as a scheduled job in 3 minutes. #PowerShell #ITAutomation

+ ```

+

+ **Fitness**

+

+ Draft:

+

+ ```text

+ hit 790 on leg press today, started at 465 three months ago

+ ```

+

+ Post:

+

+ ```text

+ ```

+

+ **Bad**

+

+ ```text

+ So excited to share that I've been absolutely crushing my fitness goals lately! This journey has been so rewarding! #FitnessJourney #Blessed

+ ```

+

+ ## Output Format

+

+ Output the post text first, then the character count on the next line. After that, ask whether anything should be adjusted.
