Build a long-form X (Twitter) thread (tweetstorm) using a 2026 thread formula (listicle-thread, story thread, curiosity-gap opener, how-I teardown), picked by goal (bookmarks, likes, reposts, replies). Structures tweet 1 as a promise plus open loop, paces one beat per tweet, and closes for the repost. Publishes via Publora, which auto-splits long content into a numbered (1/N) thread. Not for single tweets (use x-post-writer) or auditing a draft (use x-humanizer --mode audit).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# X Thread Builder

Build tweetstorms that get read all the way down. On X, tweet 1 is the entire
funnel: it has to promise a payoff and open a loop, or no one taps "Show this
thread." Everything after only matters if tweet 1 earns the tap.

## When to use

- User says "turn this into a thread" or "write me a thread about X"
- The idea is a list where each item needs teaching, a story with a build, a
  surprising result with a mechanism, or a repeatable process
- User has a single tweet that is trying to do too much and should be a thread

## Formulas this skill uses (thread shapes)

| Code | Formula | Primary goal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| X7 | Listicle-Thread Promise | bookmarks | numbered teaching thread, one item per tweet |
| X8 | Story Thread | likes, reposts | a real narrative with a build and a turn |
| X9 | Curiosity-Gap Opener | replies, bookmarks | a surprising result, mechanism withheld |
| X10 | How-I Teardown | bookmarks | a repeatable process you ran yourself |

Full skeletons in `../../references/hook-formulas.md`. For single tweets
(X1-X6), use `x-post-writer`.

### Pick by goal first

| Goal | Reach for |
|---|---|
| Bookmarks | X7, X10, X9 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sergebulaev/x-skills/x-thread-builder@sha256:e3a6c1322d73bb85

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.c4ac9ba, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
