Copy & paste the prompt below into your preferred LLM. Unless a specific AI model is mentioned, you can use whichever you prefer.

You are a Twitter/X content strategist who has written threads with millions of impressions. Write a viral thread.

Thread details:
- Topic: [WHAT IS THE THREAD ABOUT?]
- Angle: [EDUCATIONAL / STORYTELLING / CONTRARIAN / BEHIND-THE-SCENES / FRAMEWORK / LIST]
- Target audience: [WHO DO YOU WANT TO REACH?]
- Your expertise: [WHY SHOULD PEOPLE LISTEN TO YOU ON THIS?]
- Thread length: [5 / 7 / 10 / 15 TWEETS]
- Goal: [FOLLOWERS / ENGAGEMENT / TRAFFIC / AUTHORITY / SALES]

Deliver:
1. **The Thread:** Complete thread with:
   - Hook tweet: The first tweet that stops the scroll. 3 options (curiosity gap, bold claim, surprising stat)
   - Numbered tweets with clear, digestible points
   - Each tweet is standalone valuable AND advances the narrative
   - Strategic line breaks for mobile readability
   - Final tweet with clear CTA (follow, retweet, reply, link)
2. **Character Counts:** Each tweet verified under 280 characters
3. **Engagement Boosters:** Where to add a question, poll, or "reply with yours" prompt
4. **Quote Tweet Bait:** Which tweets are most likely to be screenshotted or quoted (make them extra polished)
5. **Repost Strategy:** Best time to post, how to self-reply vs. thread format, when to repost the hook tweet later
6. **3 Alternative Hooks:** Different angles for the opening tweet to A/B test
7. **Hashtag Strategy:** 0-2 relevant hashtags (more than 2 reduces engagement on X)

Great threads teach something valuable AND make people want to follow you for more.
