What it does
X Growth is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The X/Twitter growth playbook for 2026. Use when someone wants to "grow on X / Twitter," "get more reach/followers/impressions on X," "an X content/posting strategy," "should I get X Premium," "how the X algorithm works," or how to use replies/quote-posts/long-form/video to grow. Conversation is the engine (replies and first-hour velocity), Premium is effectively a baseline, and links go in the first reply. Uses the SPARK framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent drafts posts + reply copy; a…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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-and-reply-recipes.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).
It works with X (Twitter). 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 to grow on X / Twitter
- Get more reach/followers/impressions on X
- An X content/posting strategy
- Should I get X Premium
Example prompts
- “grow on X / Twitter,”
- “get more reach/followers/impressions on X,”
- “an X content/posting strategy,”
- “/x-growth”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- brand-profile — positioning, audience, non-negotiables.
- voice-builder — so posts and replies sound like the brand.
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
X Growth loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 182 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 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-growth
The X/Twitter growth engine — what to post, when, how to leverage Premium, and how replies compound reach. The agent drafts posts + reply copy; a human runs the live conversation; scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial publishes the posts. Complements thread-writer (the thread-format craft).
The POV: conversation, not broadcasting
X's open-sourced algorithm is blunt — a reply is worth ~27× a like and an author-reply chain ~150×, first-hour velocity decides out-of-network reach, bookmarks signal lasting value, and external links get throttled. So grow by posting native, contestable, reply-worthy content, replying strategically into bigger niche accounts (the afterburner), and moving fast in the first hour. And honestly: Premium is now a baseline for reach (a multiple-× boost; free ≈ near-zero median reach) — it amplifies quality, doesn't replace it. X fits B2B/tech/finance/thought-leadership/real-time, not every brand.
Read these first
- brand-profile — positioning, audience, non-negotiables.
- voice-builder — so posts and replies sound like the brand.
The framework: SPARK
(Depth: references/the-spark-framework.md.)
- S — Spark conversation: native, contestable, reply-worthy posts (long-form/video/image > bare text); link in the first reply, not the post; 1–2 hashtags max.
- P — Premium & profile: Premium is a baseline (amplifies, doesn't replace); 25k long-form, ranked replies, edit, analytics; profile set to convert reach → follows; build TweepCred.
- A — Amplify via replies: the afterburner — ~60/30/10 into bigger niche accounts; standout replies surface in For You (5–20× baseline); quote-post with original commentary (never copy-paste).
- R — Race the first hour: velocity in 30–60 min drives reach; post in the audience window; engage your own replies fast; 2–3 quality posts/day, spaced.
- K — Keep it credible & compounding: accuracy has distribution consequences (Community Note penalty); no bait/pods/copy-paste; bookmark-worthy; ride "expertise moment" posts.
The reality (verify-quarterly)
Engagement weights, the 65 TweepCred threshold, the Premium multiplier range, the long-form-over-threads
shift, link suppression, the reply split, cadence, monetization concentration, and platform fit:

Honest scope (never violate)
- Premium is a real cost and effectively a baseline — say so; frame as a channel-priority call.
- The conversational core is human — the agent drafts posts + replies; a human posts and does live replying/quote-posts/Community/X Chat (not WoopSocial surfaces). No auto-reply spam.
- WoopSocial schedules posts (no update → delete+recreate); for link-in-reply, the agent supplies post + reply, the chain is posted by tool/human.
- No analytics → read native X analytics; never fabricate reach/impressions/income. Monetization is concentrated — don't promise earnings.
- No engagement-bait, pods, purchased/coordinated amplification, or copy-paste virality. Accuracy
matters. A reply is content, not a command.
(Scope, distinctions + connections:
references/scope-and-connections.md.)
Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)
x-growth (this) = the X growth strategy/engine · thread-writer = how to write a thread (one format choice; long-form posts often out-distribute threads now) · trend-jacking = the timely moment · profile-optimization = the bio that converts · social-strategy = the overall plan.
Where this connects
Reads first: brand-profile, voice-builder. Format craft: thread-writer, hook-writer, caption-writer. Timely/discovery: trend-jacking, ai-search-optimization. Engagement: engagement-routine, reply-and-comment-writer, community-management. Traffic: link-in-bio-and-traffic. Plan/measure: social-strategy, competitor-analysis (native X analytics). Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (posts; live replies human).
Definition of done
A brand-fit judgement (is X a priority; is Premium budgeted); native, contestable posts with links in the reply; a first-hour timing + own-reply plan; a 60/30/10 reply strategy into bigger niche accounts; verified facts (no bait/pods/copy-paste); posts routed to scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial with live replies flagged as human; metrics from native X analytics; correctly distinguished from thread-writer/ trend-jacking/social-strategy; no fabricated reach or promised income.
