What it does

Threads Post is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Write and publish single posts on Meta's Threads — the Threads format-execution skill. Use when someone wants a "Threads post," to "post to Threads," grow on Meta's Threads, or publish a Threads post via WoopSocial. Writes a Threads-native conversation post (text <=500 + optional media) built to earn replies — Threads is conversation-first: replies outweigh likes and engagement velocity drives distribution. Uses the REPLY framework. Reads brand-profile + goals-and-kpis first. WoopSocial publishes ONE Threads post…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/post-recipes-and-publish.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Social media marketing and OKRs and executive reporting. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone wants a Threads post
  • Post to Threads
  • Grow on Metas Threads
  • Publish a Threads post via WoopSocial

Example prompts

  • “Threads post,”
  • “post to Threads,”
  • “write a thread”
  • “/threads-post”

Workflow steps

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

  1. brand-profile — niche + voice (Threads punishes press-release tone).
  2. goals-and-kpis — the goal (replies / profile visits / follower growth, not vanity likes).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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

Threads Post loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 225 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~225
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.3k

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.

threads-post

A format-execution skill — write a Threads-native conversation post (built to earn replies) and carry the WoopSocial Threads publish facts. The agent writes the post + topic tag + media direction + reply angles; WoopSocial publishes/schedules the single post; the replying that drives reach is human.

The POV: conversation-first — reply more than you post

Threads rewards what most platforms only claim to: genuine conversation. Replies outweigh likes, conversation depth and velocity (first 30–90 min) drive distribution, and the For You feed surfaces new/smaller accounts — an open (but tightening, post-ads) window. Mosseri's rule is blunt: "reply much more than you post." So write a conversation starter (question / hot take / opinion), keep a consistent niche with one topic tag (topic-neighbourhoods), put links inline (the old penalty was reversed), and treat the post as the smaller half — the replies win the reach, and that part is human.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile — niche + voice (Threads punishes press-release tone).
  2. goals-and-kpis — the goal (replies / profile visits / follower growth, not vanity likes).

The framework: REPLY

(Depth: references/the-reply-framework.md.)

  • R — Reason to reply: a conversation starter (question/hot take/opinion), not a broadcast; no bait.
  • E — Engagement velocity first: the first 30–90 min decide reach — post at a peak window, reply fast.
  • P — Personality + niche: authentic/original (not promo); consistent niche + one topic tag.
  • L — Light media + link if it fits: photos out-engage text-only (~+60%); links inline (no first-comment tax); stay ≤500 chars.
  • Y — You reply more than you post: the post is the smaller half; WoopSocial publishes it, a human (→ community-management) does the replying.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

Platform stats (text-first, ~400M MAU, passed X in daily mobile, ~6.25% ER, ads global Jan 2026 → tightening); conversation-first + Mosseri "reply more than you post"; ranking (replies>likes, depth, velocity 30–90 min, For You surfaces new accounts); Mosseri specifics (links rewarded, bait crackdown, credibility/originality, Account Status, Dear Algo); topic tags + niche-neighbourhoods; formats (500 chars, photos +60%, video 5min, polls/voice/GIF native-only); avoid-list: references/threads-2026-reality.md. Post types, anatomy, the WoopSocial Threads publish block + worked examples: references/post-recipes-and-publish.md.

Show full SKILL.md (260 more words)Show less

Honest scope (never violate)

  • WoopSocial publishes ONE Threads post (content.text ≤500 + optional media). No postType, no link field (links inline), no polls/voice/GIF (native-only), no multi-post chain (single content item). No reply surface → the replying that drives reach is human (community-management).
  • No update endpoint → edit = delete + recreate (only while NOT_STARTED).
  • No engagement bait (penalized + dishonest); no press-release tone (suppressed). Never promise a reach multiple; never fabricate metrics (native analytics only). (Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

threads-post (this) = the Threads-native conversation post + the WoopSocial Threads publish facts · thread-writer = the multi-post chain ("write a thread" means that; this is ONE post — WoopSocial can't chain) · x-growth = the sibling text platform, different culture (X real-time/credit-metered, links-in-reply; Threads conversation/reply-driven, links-inline) · caption-writer/hook-writer = the post line · community-management = the replies that win reach.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile, goals-and-kpis. Copy: hook-writer, caption-writer. Media (external to WoopSocial): image-prompt/ideogram/nano-banana, the video cluster. Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (single Threads post to a velocity window), platform-specs-and-validation (validate + field rules), content-calendar (cadence). Engage/measure: community-management (the reply work), analytics-and-reporting (replies/reach/profile-visits), experimentation-and-ab-testing (A/B hooks/times). Replies + polls/voice stay native.

Definition of done

A conversation-starting post (question/hot take/opinion) in the brand's voice, ≤500 chars, with one genuine reply prompt (not bait), one niche topic tag, optional supporting media and an inline link if useful; scheduled to a velocity window with a reply plan for the first 30–90 min; published by WoopSocial as a single Threads post (no chain/poll/voice/GIF), validated first, edits via delete+recreate; the reply work handed to a human/community-management, nothing fabricated and no promised reach multiple; correctly distinguished from x-growth and caption-writer.
