# X (Twitter) Posting Skill

## Guidelines

- **Character limit**: 280 chars (Premium users may have extended limits)
- **Media**: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4 supported
- **Thread naming**: Use `--name "name"` to track threads for later continuation
- **Tweet IDs**: From `https://x.com/user/status/1234567890` the ID is `1234567890`

## When User Asks to Post

1. Help craft content within character limits
2. Run the appropriate command from the skill directory
3. Share the resulting tweet URL with them
4. If starting a thread they may want to continue later, use `--name` to track it
