# reply-maker

Spots reply-worthy tweets across your tracked accounts, lists, or topics and drafts two response options per tweet. Or scans recent logs for flagged engagement opportunities and turns them into copy-paste-ready posts.

## What it does

The skill runs in two modes. Mode A discovers tweets posted within the last six hours (widening to 12 if few candidates pass the skip gate), filters for reply-worthy signals, and generates a pair of response drafts for each. Mode B reads flagged engagement opportunities from logs over seven days and turns them into ready-to-send replies.

Narrow the search to a specific handle, X list ID, or topic. A revise branch lets you refine the drafts: send `revise:` with an instruction (e.g., "shorter" or "less formal") and the skill regenerates the replies without re-scanning.

Reads voice files from `soul/` if they exist — mirrors your sentence length, word choices, punctuation, and the things you'd never say. If not present, writes direct replies with no filler or false flattery. All X replies stay under 280 characters.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill reply-maker -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/reply-maker/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill reply-maker -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill reply-maker -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon reply-maker
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md`

npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill reply-maker -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/reply-maker
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill reply-maker -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon/tree/HEAD/skills/reply-maker/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Spot high-leverage tweets in a narrow time window
- Draft multiple reply options instead of one
- Turn a flagged mention or question in logs into a post
- Refine reply drafts without re-running the full search
- Keep your voice consistent across auto-generated responses

## Example prompts
- Find reply-worthy tweets about data infrastructure and draft responses
- Draft replies to recent tweets from @andrewchen
- Convert flagged mentions from logs into ready-to-post replies

> **${var}** — selects the mode and scope:
> - **empty** → **Mode A (Reply Drafting):** auto-discover reply-worthy tweets across your areas of interest (from recent logs + memory) and draft two reply options for each.
> - **`@handle` / numeric X list ID / topic** → **Mode A (Reply Drafting)** scoped to that handle, list, or topic.
> - **`from-logs`** (or **`--from-logs`**, optionally followed by an `@handle` or project name to narrow the scan) → **Mode B (From-Logs Engagement):** scan recent logs for flagged engagement opportunities and turn them into copy-paste-ready responses.
> - **`revise:<instruction>`** → **Revise branch:** reload the last drafted replies and refine them per the instruction (the Telegram force-reply shape, e.g. `revise:make them shorter`).

## Preamble (both modes)

Read `memory/MEMORY.md` for context on active projects and open engagement follow-ups.

Then read `memory/logs/` — the window depends on the mode:
- **Mode A:** the last 2 days of `memory/logs/` for recent `fetch-tweets`, `narrative-tracker`, and prior `reply-maker` outputs (used as a candidate pool and for reply de-duplication).
- **Mode B:** the last 7 days of `memory/logs/` for engagement opportunities flagged by other skills (`mention-radar`, `fetch-tweets`, `reply-maker`) or noted in MEMORY.md "Known Follow-ups".

**Parse `${var}` to pick the branch** (trim whitespace, compare case-insensitively):
- If `${var}` starts with `revise:` — run the **Revise branch** (below) and stop. This is the shape `scripts/telegram-route.sh` sends when the operator replies to a "refine these replies?" force-reply prompt; catch it before mode parsing.
- If `${var}` is `from-logs` or `--from-logs` — optionally followed by a whitespace-separated `@handle` or project name — run **Mode B (From-Logs Engagement)**. Treat any trailing token as an optional filter that narrows the opportunity scan to that handle/project.
- Otherwise run **Mode A (Reply Drafting)**, treating `${var}` as the scope: empty, `@handle`, numeric X list ID, or a topic string.
