Turn rough build logs into high-bookmark X articles without AI phrasing
Strip 'delve', 'game-changer', and fake hype automatically. Convert raw engineering notes or transcripts into crisp step-by-step posts people actually bookmark.
Why default setups fall short
Readers on X mute generic AI-written threads within two lines because they open with 'In today's fast-paced AI landscape' and hide concrete numbers behind vague hype. Feeding your raw build notes through a strict banned-phrase filter and an operational step template preserves your real voice while cutting drafting time from two hours to ten minutes.
Prerequisites before starting
- Claude, ChatGPT, or a local LLM client
- Raw bullet notes, git log, or a voice memo transcript
- The banned-phrase JSON list & editorial SKILL.md in this kit
Step-by-step implementation
1. Open with a concrete cost, time, or counter-intuitive trade-off
Your first three lines sit above X's 'Show more' fold. State what you built, one surprising metric or constraint, and promise an actionable step-by-step breakdown—zero throat-clearing.
2. Run a deterministic regex pass against 60 high-frequency AI clichés
Even good models slip into 'Moreover', 'It's not X, it's Y', and 'seamless'. Run the included Python/JS lint script over drafts to highlight and strip synthetic transitions before posting.
BANNED = ["delve", "game-changer", "testament to", "in conclusion", "fast-paced"] hits = [w for w in BANNED if w in draft.lower()]
3. Format specifically for mobile X rendering
Standard X long posts do not render Markdown tables, Mermaid blocks, or escaped backslashes. Stick to numbered section headers (1/, 2/, 3/), clean bullet dots (•), and 2-sentence paragraphs.
