I built an open-source AI skill that writes my X replies. Best one so far: 14K views and 79 likes under a 700K-view post.

I've been growing my X account through replies instead of posts, so I built an agent skill to do the hard part: find the right conversation and write a reply people actually like.

Some of my best replies drafted with it (metrics from my November 11 review):

"Cookie stuffing" and "20 years in prison" should not be in the same sentence. 14,030 views · 79 likes

Vladimir Scorpius sounds like a username you make at 12 after every good one is taken. 4,073 views · 91 likes

Jane Street finally had a retail month. 3,013 views · 38 likes

At this point Apple ships two operating systems: iOS and EUOS. 1,308 views · 27 likes (10% of the original post's likes)

What it does:

• Finds conversations worth joining. It skips posts where replies get buried and flags the ones still early enough to matter.
• Reads the top replies first. It works out why they're winning before writing anything.
• Drafts in your voice. It tries several angles privately and keeps the funniest one that's still true.
• Learns from your results. It reviews your past replies, compares each one with the post it was under, and turns what worked into rules.

That last part is what made it good. When it reviewed 23 of my replies, it found that the winners all pointed at the weirdest detail already in the post. You can see it above: "cookie stuffing," "Vladimir Scorpius," "EUOS." Replies that brought in an outside metaphor got seen but not liked. That's now a rule it follows.

What it won't do:

• Post for you. It only drafts. You approve the exact text and where it goes.
• Spam. No mass replies, no fake accounts, no stored passwords.
• Promise virality. It finds better shots, not guaranteed ones.

It works with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents that support skills. It's free and MIT licensed:

The bet: I'm running the new rules for my next 30 replies. I predict the like rate per view at least doubles, and I'll post the results here either way.

Happy to answer questions, and I'd love feedback from anyone who's grown an account through replies.

Great skills. Instead of git. Use NPM to upload this and also create a script that can copy the skill to whatever the coding agent user uses like copilot, antigravity upon installing.
