What it does

X Profile Optimizer is an agent skill from sergebulaev/x-skills. Audit and rewrite an X (Twitter) profile end-to-end for 2026: bio (160 chars), display name with a searchable keyword, @handle, header image, pinned tweet, link, and location. Triggers on "review my X profile", "fix my bio", "rewrite my Twitter bio", "optimize my header", "pin the right tweet", "X profile audit". Turns a default profile into one that converts visitors into followers. Not for writing tweets (use x-post-writer).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: X (Twitter) marketing skills for Claude Code and Codex: write tweets, threads, and replies in your voice, strip AI tells, and publish via Publora. Open source, MIT. Content… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Review my X profile
  • Rewrite my Twitter bio
  • Optimize my header
  • Pin the right tweet

Example prompts

  • “review my X profile”
  • “fix my bio”
  • “rewrite my Twitter bio”
  • “/x-profile-optimizer”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Scorecard (7 parts, pass / needs-work / fail)
  2. Priority fixes ranked by impact (bio and pin first, always)
  3. Before → After rewrites for each failing part
  4. Pinned-tweet pick with the reason

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6ffd8e0. 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.

    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

X Profile Optimizer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 670 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Audit and rewrite an X (Twitter) profile end-to-end for 2026: bio (160 chars), display name with a searchable keyword, @handle, header image, pinned tweet, link, and location. Triggers on "review my X profile", "fix my bio", "rewrite my Twitter bio", "optimize my header", "pin the right tweet", "X profile audit". Turns a default profile into one that converts visitors into followers. Not for writing tweets (use x-post-writer).

X Profile Optimizer

Audit the seven parts of an X profile (photo, header, display name, @handle, bio, pinned tweet, link) against what actually converts a profile-clicker into a follower in 2026, then rewrite each part that needs it. On X the whole decision happens in about two seconds on the profile card: name, bio, pinned tweet. That is what this fixes.

When to use

  • User pastes their X profile or handle and asks for an audit
  • "Fix my bio", "rewrite my Twitter bio", "what should I pin"
  • User is starting to post seriously and wants the profile to match
  • Any of: "review my X profile", "optimize my header", "profile audit"

Not for writing tweets (use x-post-writer) or threads (use x-thread-builder).

Input

  • Profile URL / handle (or a screenshot of the profile card)
  • Goal: grow a following / drive signups / land clients / build authority — the bio CTA and pinned tweet change by goal
  • Optional: their best-performing tweets, to pick a pin

Output

  1. Scorecard (7 parts, pass / needs-work / fail)
  2. Priority fixes ranked by impact (bio and pin first, always)
  3. Before → After rewrites for each failing part
  4. Pinned-tweet pick with the reason

Steps

  1. Intake. Collect the profile state + goal. Note the account tier (Premium unlocks a longer bio and longer posts).
  2. Score the 7 parts against the scorecard below.
  3. Rewrite the bio (160 chars). Formula: who you help + what you post about + one proof or specific. Lead with the value, not the job title. No "I help X do Y" cliche opener unless the rest is specific. Fit inside 160 (Premium: more, but tight still wins).
  4. Fix the display name (50 chars). Real name + a searchable keyword people actually type (e.g. "Sam Rivera | LinkedIn Growth"). The name field is searchable; the @handle mostly is not.
  5. Pick the pinned tweet. Their single best proof of what a new follower will get: a top-performing post, a mini-portfolio thread, or a clear offer matched to the goal. A profile with no pin leaves the most important slot empty.
  6. Rewrite the header (1500x500). One line of value prop + a light visual, readable on mobile, not a busy collage. It reinforces the bio, it does not repeat it.
  7. Set the link. One link, matched to the goal (newsletter / offer / site). If they need several, a single link-hub, not a bare homepage.
  8. Photo check. Clear face, fills the frame, recent, high contrast against the header. It is a 48px circle for most viewers, so detail is wasted; contrast is not.
  9. Deliver the before/after diff + the two-second test: read only name, bio, and pin, and ask "would a stranger follow from this alone?"

Seven-part scorecard

#PartPass criteria (2026)
1PhotoClear face filling the frame, recent, high contrast at 48px, no busy background
2Header1500x500, one readable value-prop line, mobile-safe, reinforces (not repeats) the bio
3Display nameReal name + a searchable keyword, inside 50 chars
4@handleShort, memorable, no numbers/underscores if avoidable
5BioValue + topic + proof inside 160 chars; no cliche opener; leads with what a follower gets
6Pinned tweetPresent, and it is their best proof matched to the goal (not a random recent tweet)
7LinkOne, goal-matched; a link-hub if several are needed

Hard rules

Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:

  • The bio must pass the two-second test: a stranger reading only name + bio + pin should know who this is for and want to follow.
  • Lead the bio with the reader's benefit, not the user's job title.
  • One specific or one number in the bio where the account allows it.
  • Keep every rewrite inside the platform character limits (bio 160, name 50). Never ship a truncated bio.
  • At most one em dash in the bio (a 160-char bio rarely needs one). No "leverage", "fundamentally", "game-changer".
  • x-post-writer - write the tweets the optimized profile will host
  • x-hook-extractor - find a pin-worthy hook in a tweet that already worked
  • x-content-planner - plan the cadence that fills the profile
