What it does
X Reply Drafter is an agent skill from sergebulaev/x-skills. Draft a reply or a value-add quote tweet for a specific X (Twitter) tweet from its URL. Use to reply in a thread, answer a creator, or quote-tweet with added value. Parses the tweet URL, reads pasted context, decides reply vs quote tweet, and drafts 1-3 variants in your voice. X has no LinkedIn-style 2-level thread flattening, so a reply is just a tweet. Publora has no reply endpoint, so the draft is returned as a copy-paste block to post yourself. Not for top-level posts (use x-post-writer).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/reply-templates.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. 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

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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
x.com
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 Reply Drafter loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 912 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- x-reply-drafter
- description
- Draft a reply or a value-add quote tweet for a specific X (Twitter) tweet from its URL. Use to reply in a thread, answer a creator, or quote-tweet with added value. Parses the tweet URL, reads pasted context, decides reply vs quote tweet, and drafts 1-3 variants in your voice. X has no LinkedIn-style 2-level thread flattening, so a reply is just a tweet. Publora has no reply endpoint, so the draft is returned as a copy-paste block to post yourself. Not for top-level posts (use x-post-writer).
X Reply Drafter
Drafts a reply in a thread, or a quote tweet, for a specific tweet. On X a reply is just a tweet posted in-reply-to another, and replies nest naturally: there is no LinkedIn-style 2-level flattening and no parent-comment URN to resolve.
When to use
- User pastes a tweet URL and says "reply to this"
- A creator replied to the user and they want to continue the thread
- User wants to quote-tweet a take and add value (not a cheap dunk)
Input
An X tweet URL (x.com/HANDLE/status/ID or the twitter.com equivalent), plus
the tweet text (and any thread context) pasted by the user, since this bundle
has no built-in tweet reader.
Output
- 1-3 reply or quote-tweet drafts, each under 280 chars
- A reply vs quote tweet recommendation with the reason
- A short context summary (who said what)
- An approval card. On approval the draft is returned as a copy-paste block.
Reply vs quote tweet
| Use a reply when | Use a quote tweet when |
|---|---|
| You are adding to the conversation in place | Your addition deserves its own reach |
| You are answering a question or engaging a creator | Your followers should see the original for context |
| You want intimacy over reach | You want reach and a take on your own timeline |
Default to a reply for direct engagement and a quote tweet when the user's point is strong enough to stand as its own post. Never quote-dunk on a small account; add value or skip it.
Steps
Voice profile first (all drafts). If ../../references/voice-profile.md has filled: yes, load it and match the user's voice fingerprint, hard rules, and CTA/link style throughout. If it is not filled, mention once that x-humanizer --mode profile can learn their voice from a few posts, then proceed with the generic voice rules.
Story bank next. If ../../references/story-bank.md has filled: yes, load it and take every concrete detail (numbers, dates, named projects, positions) from there instead of asking mid-draft. Never invent a figure, a date or a client name that is not in the bank or supplied by the user in this conversation. If the bank has nothing that fits, ask the user, or say once that x-humanizer --mode interview fills it in 20 to 40 minutes. A draft with a plausible invented number is worse than a draft with none: one is vague, the other is a retraction.
- Parse the URL.
lib.url_parser.parse_x_url(url)returnshandle,tweet_id,canonical_url. - Read the context. Ask the user to paste the target tweet and the relevant thread above it. If the user is already in the thread, include their prior tweet.
- Decide reply vs quote tweet using the table above. Recommend one, but let the user override.
- Draft 1-3 variants using
references/reply-templates.md. If the counterpart asked a question, answer it plainly with one real detail. If they pushed back, concede then sharpen. - Humanizer pass. Scrub 2026 AI vocab by density, cap em dashes (at
most one per reply, never swap one for a period), strip reveal bridges and
sincerity openers ("not gonna lie", "let me be honest"). Leave the rhythm
alone; never insert a fragment for punch. Keep each variant under 280
chars (emoji = 2). One idea per reply. Canonical rules:
x-humanizerV3. - Approval card. Show the thread context, the variants, the reply-vs-quote recommendation, and the target URL.
- On approval. Call
lib.publish(kind="reply", draft_text=<approved>, target_url=<canonical_url>)for a reply, orkind="quote"for a quote tweet. Publora has no reply endpoint, sokind="reply"always returns a copy-paste block. Akind="quote"could in principle post a new tweet containing the original URL via Publora, but the default is still copy-paste so the user controls the embed. Paste it on X yourself.

The no-flattening note
Unlike LinkedIn (which flattens reply threads to 2 levels and needs the top-level comment URN as the parent), X nests replies naturally. There is no parent-comment URN to compute. A reply is simply a tweet you post while replying to the target tweet. This skill therefore does not walk any comment tree; it just drafts the text and hands it back for you to post in-reply.
Templates (references/reply-templates.md)
- R1 Answer-Their-Question - they asked, you answer plainly plus one real detail
- R2 Concede-Then-Sharpen - "fair, and the part I would push on is Y"
- R3 Extend-Their-Point - take their point one layer deeper with a new framing
- R4 Share-Lived-Experience - "we hit this last quarter, here is what broke"
- R5 Value-Add Quote - quote tweet that adds the missing nuance (X4 shape)
Hard rules
Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md Voice rules. Additional skill-specific
rules:
- Under 280 chars (emoji = 2). Replies are tighter than posts.
- Never paste a canned "great point!". Respond with content or do not reply.
- Do not hard-sell the user's product in a reply on someone else's tweet. Describe what they do instead.
- Never quote-dunk on a small account. Add value or skip it.
Example
User: "Reply to this: https://x.com/somebuilder/status/1790000000000000000"
Skill: parses -> handle somebuilder, tweet 1790000000000000000. Asks the user to paste the tweet. User pastes a take about pricing. Skill recommends a reply (direct engagement), drafts an R2 Concede-Then-Sharpen variant and an R3 Extend-Their-Point variant, each under 280 chars. Shows the approval card.
User: "post the first one"
Skill: returns the copy-paste block with the target URL for the user to post as a reply on X.
