Draft voice-tuned X (Twitter) post variants from a free-form brief.

  • Works in 6 steps: Load the voice guide → Parse the brief and decide variant count → Generate variants with explicit framing → …
  • Tasks that involve Verification before completion
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Inputs, Voice Guide Resolution and Workflow, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Create X Content is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Draft voice-tuned X (Twitter) post variants from a free-form brief. Reads a personal voice guide (generated via generate-voice-guide), produces 2–5 variants with distinct framings (simple-howto, problem-first, hype, mechanism-breakdown, etc.), and self-checks against the voice guide's banned phrases before returning.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Verification before completion. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Verification before completion

Example prompts

  • “/create-x-content”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Load the voice guide
  2. Parse the brief and decide variant count
  3. Generate variants with explicit framing
  4. Self-check against the voice guide
  5. Save outputs
  6. Deliver

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Create X Content loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 783 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Create X Content

Draft X/Twitter post variants that sound like you, not like an AI. Reads a voice guide the user has already generated (or prompts to create one), produces multiple framings of the same idea, and saves each variant as its own markdown file with frontmatter.

This is an agent-executed skill — the agent does the drafting and self-check inline. No Python script.

Quick Start

/create-x-content --brief "New open-source CLI that turns Figma files into React components. Called figma2react. Free, MIT licensed."

Or interactively:

/create-x-content

Inputs

FlagRequiredDefault
--briefYes (asked interactively if missing)—
--variantsNoSkill decides based on brief richness (2–5)
--voice-guideNoResolved via chain below
--outputNo./content/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>/
--topicNoDerived from brief

Voice Guide Resolution

Resolve in this order, stop at first hit:

  1. --voice-guide <path> flag
  2. ~/.goose-skills/config.json → voice_guides.x
  3. ~/.goose-skills/voice-guides/voice-x.md (default path)
  4. Fallback prompt — no guide found. Give the user three options:
    • (a) Paste a path to an existing guide
    • (b) Run /generate-voice-guide --platforms x now to create one (recommended)
    • (c) Proceed with a neutral default (warn that variants will sound generic)

Never silently skip the voice guide. Generic posts are the failure mode to avoid.

Workflow

Phase 1 — Load the voice guide

Read the resolved voice guide into context. Extract, for use throughout drafting:

  • Banned phrases — treat as hard blocks
  • Hook patterns — sample these for variant framings
  • Format rules — length ranges, line-break style, emoji policy
  • Dos/don'ts — apply to every variant
  • Example posts — use as calibration targets
Phase 2 — Parse the brief and decide variant count

Decide variant count by richness:

  • 2 variants — one-line opinions, single-angle hot takes, simple tool mentions with no mechanism
  • 3 variants — typical tool spotlights, single how-tos, observations with one clear angle
  • 4 variants — multi-angle topics (a how-to + a problem-first frame + a hype frame + a mechanism breakdown)
  • 5 variants — rich, mechanism-heavy content where several distinct hooks all have real substance

If --variants is explicitly set, respect it. Otherwise pick the smallest count where each variant genuinely adds a different angle. Quality > quantity. 2 strong variants beat 5 watered-down ones.

Phase 3 — Generate variants with explicit framing

Each variant gets a distinct framing label that determines its structure and hook:

FramingStructureWhen to use
simple-howtoBare steps, no mechanismTool install + usage, 2–3 line how-to
howto-plus-mechanismHow-to + "here's how it works" breakdownTools where the mechanism is interesting
problem-firstOpen with the pain, then solutionWhen the problem is visceral/relatable
hypePunchy "someone just dropped X" energyLaunches, new OSS releases, cool builds
mechanism-breakdownFocus on the howTechnical builds, systems, architectures
ecosystem-mapCurated list of N related tools/companiesLandscape posts
contrarian"Most people do X wrong" openerOpinion pieces with a clear counter-take
personal-experience"We've been doing X. Here's what I learned"Field notes, lessons learned

Use framings the voice guide's hook patterns actually support. Don't force framings the user never employs.

Show full SKILL.md (325 more words)Show less
Phase 4 — Self-check against the voice guide

Before saving, run each variant through these checks:

  1. Banned phrase check — does the variant use any phrase from the voice guide's banned list? If yes, rewrite that line.
  2. Length check — does it fit the voice guide's format rules (short-form <280, long-form 100–1000, etc.)?
  3. "Meat" check — does it have at least one concrete reference: a specific tool, number, workflow, or build? If not, it's filler — rewrite.
  4. Voice-match spot check — would this plausibly appear in the example posts section of the voice guide? If it reads like a generic AI tweet, rewrite.

If a variant fails any check and two rewrite attempts don't fix it, drop the variant rather than ship something weak.

Phase 5 — Save outputs

Write each variant as its own .md file. File naming:

variant-<letter>-<framing-slug>.md

Examples: variant-a-simple-howto.md, variant-b-problem-first.md.

Frontmatter schema:

yaml
---
id: <topic-slug>-<letter>
platform: x
format: short | long
topic: <slug>
framing: <framing-slug>
status: draft
---

Body: just the post text. No commentary, no surrounding markdown.

Phase 6 — Deliver

Print to the user:

  • Output directory path
  • List of files created
  • Variant count + framings used
  • Suggested next step (review, tweak, or run /social-kit for a matching graphic)

Outputs

  • <output>/variant-<letter>-<framing>.md per variant
  • No index file — each variant is self-contained

Examples

Simple brief:

/create-x-content --brief "npx goose-skills install claude-code-hooks — a new skill that adds pre-commit, pre-tool-use, and post-response hooks to Claude Code so you can enforce coding standards automatically."

→ 3 variants (howto, hype, mechanism)

Rich brief:

/create-x-content --brief "Built a Claude-driven lead gen system. Scrapes Reddit for people asking about email deliverability, finds their domains, verifies their business email via Hunter, drafts a personalized DM. 47 leads in 6 hours at $0.03/lead."

→ 5 variants (personal-experience, mechanism-breakdown, hype, problem-first, simple-howto)

Dependencies

  • A voice guide at the resolved path (see Voice Guide Resolution above)
  • generate-voice-guide skill (for creating one when missing)

Tips

  • Default to fewer variants. Five weak ones is worse than two strong ones. The skill should feel picky, not generous.
  • Framings must actually differ. Don't write five variants with the same opening hook and minor tweaks. Each variant = a different lens on the same idea.
  • Quote the brief's specifics verbatim in the variant. Numbers, tool names, prices — these are the "meat." Losing them to paraphrasing kills the post.
  • If the voice guide has a "field-notes deep-dive" hook pattern and the brief is rich enough, include one long-form variant. That format tends to outperform on X.
