x-algorithm

What This Skill Does

The x-algorithm skill provides an exhaustive framework for navigating, understanding, and leveraging the X (Twitter) algorithm. It acts as an expert consultant that analyzes your content strategy against the documented mechanics of X's recommendation engine. By utilizing insights derived from X's open-source ranking code and viral success patterns, this skill helps you optimize post timing, content formatting, and engagement strategies to maximize your reach while avoiding common "reach death" pitfalls.

Installation

To integrate this skill, use the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-x-algorithm

Use Cases

• Content Planning: Before hitting publish, run your draft through the agent to verify it complies with engagement best practices, such as ensuring no external links are in the main post.
• Engagement Recovery: Analyze why your recent posts have underperformed and get actionable advice to fix your reach.
• Strategy Development: Generate a long-term content calendar that accounts for optimal posting times (8 AM - 2 PM) and content types (threads vs. media).
• Viral Optimization: Learn how to structure threads and hooks that trigger the X algorithm’s ranking signals, specifically prioritizing reply-heavy content.

Example Prompts

1. "I am planning to launch a new product. Can you help me draft a 5-tweet thread that follows X algorithm best practices to ensure maximum exposure?"
2. "Review this draft post and tell me why it might get penalized by the algorithm and how I should rewrite it: 'Check out my new blog post here: [link] #marketing #ai #growth'"
3. "My account reach has dropped significantly in the last two weeks. Can you analyze my recent posting habits and provide a 3-step plan to recover my engagement velocity?"

Tips & Limitations

• The Golden Rule: Always prioritize replies. The algorithm heavily favors back-and-forth conversation over passive likes.
• Constraint Awareness: This skill provides strategic advice based on data patterns but cannot directly manipulate X's server-side ranking for your account.
• Consistency is Key: The algorithm rewards steady velocity; use this skill to maintain the recommended 2-3 post-per-day minimum.
• External Link Avoidance: Never include links in your primary post text; always relegate them to the first reply to avoid an immediate reach penalty.
