x-content-signals

Rewrite X posts for algorithm-relevant actions. Use when drafting posts to maximize dwell, replies, reposts, shares, profile clicks, follows, and low negative feedback.

Use this to turn a rough idea into a stronger X post.

Pick The Primary Signal

Choose one primary signal before rewriting:

• Dwell: readers pause, read, save, or think.
• Reply: readers naturally want to respond.
• Repost/share: readers look smart or useful by sharing it.
• Profile click: readers wonder who wrote this.
• Follow: readers expect more valuable posts like this.

Rewrite Rules

• Make the first line specific.
• Replace abstractions with concrete nouns.
• Add a useful payoff, not just a tease.
• Make one clear point.
• Remove generic AI phrasing.
• Avoid rage bait unless the user explicitly wants controversy.
• Add a specific question only when replies are the target.

Output

Return:

• Signal target: primary + secondary.
• Final post: ready to publish.
• Why it works: 2-4 bullets.
• 3 hook variants.
• Negative-feedback risk: what could backfire.

Operating Principle

Treat the public X algorithm as a signal map, not a cheat code. Optimize for posts and replies that earn useful positive actions (dwell, replies, reposts, shares, profile clicks, follows) while avoiding negative actions (not interested, mute, block, report, fast skips).
