Twitter Thread Creation

Twitter/X Thread Creation

Write high-engagement Twitter/X threads via inference.sh CLI.

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://cli.inference.sh | sh && infsh login

# Post a tweet
infsh app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "I analyzed 1,000 landing pages.\n\n90% make the same 5 mistakes.\n\nHere are the fixes (with examples):\n\n🧵👇"
}'

Install note: The install script only detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching binary from dist.inference.sh, and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. No elevated permissions or background processes. Manual install & verification available.

Thread Structure

The Anatomy

Tweet 1 (Hook):     Bold claim + "thread 🧵"
Tweet 2:            Context / why this matters
Tweet 3-9:          One point per tweet (numbered)
Tweet 10:           Summary or biggest takeaway
Tweet 11:           CTA (follow, retweet, bookmark)

Tweet 1: The Hook

This tweet lives or dies alone in the timeline. It must work WITHOUT the thread.

# Post hook tweet
infsh app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "I spent 3 years building SaaS products.\n\nHere are 10 things I wish someone told me on day 1:\n\n🧵"
}'

Content Tweets (3-9)

# Content tweet with visual
infsh app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "3/ Your pricing page is the second most visited page on your site.\n\nBut most founders treat it as an afterthought.\n\nThe fix:\n→ Show 3 tiers (not 2, not 5)\n→ Highlight the middle one\n→ Annual toggle defaulted ON\n→ Feature comparison below"
}'

Closing Tweet

# CTA tweet
infsh app run x/post-create --input '{
  "text": "11/ That'\''s the full playbook.\n\nTL;DR:\n• Validate before building\n• Launch ugly, iterate fast\n• Pricing is positioning\n• Talk to users weekly\n\nIf this was useful:\n→ Retweet the first tweet\n→ Follow me @username for more\n→ Bookmark this thread"
}'

Formatting Rules

Tweet Formatting

❌ Dense:
"If you want to grow on Twitter you need to post consistently and engage with your audience while also making sure your content provides value to your followers."

✅ Formatted:
"Want to grow on Twitter?

3 non-negotiable rules:

→ Post daily (consistency > quality)
→ Reply to 20 accounts bigger than you
→ Every tweet must teach OR entertain

No shortcuts."
