## What it does

This skill handles the format, not the publishing. The agent drafts text up to 500 characters, one topic tag, media direction and reply angles; WoopSocial schedules or publishes the single post. The reasoning: on Threads replies outweigh likes, and conversation depth plus velocity in the first 30–90 minutes drive distribution. So the post is written as a conversation starter — a question, a hot take, an opinion.

The REPLY framework runs underneath: reason to reply, engagement velocity first, personality plus niche, light media with the link inline, and you reply more than you post. Before writing, the skill reads `brand-profile` and `goals-and-kpis`. Skip those and you will have to state the voice and the goal out loud. Links go in the text itself; there is no separate link field.

Know the limits up front. WoopSocial publishes one post — no multi-post chain, no polls, voice or GIF, since those stay native. There is no reply surface either, so the replying that wins reach is human work, usually through `community-management`. Editing is not supported: an edit means delete and recreate, and only while the post is `NOT_STARTED`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill threads-post -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill threads-post -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add social-media-skills/skills --skill threads-post -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

- 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/social-media-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/threads-post/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- write a Threads post that pulls replies instead of scrolls
- fit an idea into the 500-character limit
- pick one topic tag that matches your niche
- keep links inline rather than in a first comment
- route the post to WoopSocial without building a chain by hand

## Example prompts
- Write a Threads post about our new release, end with a question
- Draft a Threads post from brand-profile, tag it for our niche
- Prepare a single Threads post and publish it via WoopSocial

  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 (no native multi-post chain, no polls/voice/GIF, no reply
  surface); the replying that drives reach is a human/community-management job; metrics never
  fabricated; no engagement bait. Distinct from thread-writer (a user saying "write a thread" wants
  that multi-post X chain, not this), x-growth (sibling text platform, different culture) and
  caption-writer (text only).

# 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.
```
