Twitter Thread Builder
/twitter-thread
Claude Code writes Twitter threads structured for maximum retention: a hook tweet that earns the first click, a body that delivers value in rapid, connected micro-bites, and a closer that drives the desired action without feeling like a pitch.
What this skill does
Write a hook tweet that promises a specific, valuable takeaway and earns the 'show thread' click
Structure the thread body so each tweet flows naturally into the next without losing readers
Keep each tweet within 250 to 280 characters with a complete thought per tweet
Write a closing tweet that drives the target action (follow, click, reply) without a hard sell
How to use it
Share the topic and key points
Describe the main insight or lesson you want to share, the key points you want to hit, and any data or examples you want to include.
Run /twitter-thread
Specify the thread length (5 to 15 tweets) and whether you want a promotional CTA at the end pointing to a product or newsletter.
Schedule or post
Use Hypefury, Typefully, or Twitter's native scheduler to post threads at peak engagement times for your audience.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a Twitter thread be?
8 to 12 tweets is the range where threads get the most shares. Under 6 tweets feels thin. Over 15 tweets loses readers before the end. Claude Code defaults to 10 tweets and adjusts based on the complexity of the topic.
What makes a thread hook work?
Specificity and a clear promise. 'I analyzed 100 email campaigns. Here's what separates the ones with 40%+ open rates from the rest (thread)' outperforms 'A thread on email marketing'. Claude Code writes hooks that lead with a specific outcome or number.
Should I promote my product at the end of every thread?
Not every thread. Promotional threads should be balanced with purely educational ones. A consistent pattern of selling at the end of threads trains followers to stop reading before the end. Claude Code can write threads with or without promotional closers based on your content mix.
