I Built a Claude Skill That Roasts Your X Posts Using X's Actual Algorithm

Did you know X's recommendation algorithm is open source?

I turned it into a Claude Code skill that analyzes your posts for viral potential.

What it does

Just ask Claude:

  • "Check if this will go viral: [your post]"
  • "Optimize my post: [your post]"

It scores your post across 8 factors:

Factor Max Points
Reply Potential 25
Repost Potential 20
Favorite Potential 15
Quote Potential 12
Dwell Time 10
Share Potential 8
Profile Click 5
Follow Potential 5

Then it gives you a grade (S to F) and specific improvement suggestions.

The result?

I tested it on my own posts and got 13/100 (Grade: F) πŸ’€

Apparently my "hilarious" jokes lack "emotional resonance" and "share value"...
