Execution Logic

**Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:**

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with: "x-writer loaded, proceed with your topic or idea"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST

**BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP**

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL three reference files. This is non-negotiable:

Read: ./references/formats.md
Read: ./references/posts.md
Read: ./references/voices.md

**What you will find:**

• **formats.md**: 8 proven post formats with structure templates, psychology, and format-specific rules
• **posts.md**: 49+ proven viral posts organized by format type — the example library
• **voices.md**: Creator voice profiles with writing DNA, signature patterns, and example posts

**DO NOT PROCEED** to Step 2 until you have read all three files and have their content in context.

2. Check for Business Context

Check if `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` exists in the project root.

• **If it exists:** Read it and use the business context to personalize output (industry terminology, audience pain points, brand voice, company name, products).
• **If it doesn't exist:** Proceed using defaults from "Defaults & Assumptions."

3. Analyze Input & Select Voice

From the user's requirements, extract:

• **Topic/idea** — What they want to post about
• **Goal** — What they want the post to achieve (engagement, authority, education, humor)
• **Voice preference** — If they specified a voice or tone

**Voice Matching Logic:**

If the user specified a voice → use that voice directly.

If the user did NOT specify a voice: 1. Analyze the topic and FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md brand voice 2. Auto-suggest the best match based on topic:

• Business advice, mindset, pricing, sales, productivity → suggest **Alex Hormozi**
• Life philosophy, contrarian takes, self-improvement, minimalism → suggest **Naval Ravikant**
• Startup advice, CEO/founder roles, hiring, company building → suggest **Andrew Gazdecki**
• Self-improvement, productivity hacks, fitness + learning, habits → suggest **Dakota Robertson**
• AI trends, tool launches, tech stack recommendations, urgent opportunities → suggest **Machina**
• SaaS growth, AI productivity, founder mindset, revenue strategy → suggest **Ognjen Gatalo**
• Personal responsibility, escaping default paths, harsh reality checks, focus training → suggest **Dan Koe**

3. Ask the user to confirm using AskUserQuestion:

• **[Suggested Voice] (Recommended)** — [one-line description of why it fits]
• **[Other Voice 1]** — [one-line description]
• **[Other Voice 2]** — [one-line description]
• **My own voice** — Natural tone based on FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md brand voice

4. Generate 3 Viral Posts

Using the formats, posts, and voice you loaded in Steps 1-3:

1. **Select 3 DIFFERENT formats** from formats.md that best fit the user's topic and goal 2. **Study the example posts** in posts.md for those formats — internalize the rhythm, structure, and length 3. **Apply the selected voice** from voices.md — match their sentence structure, rhythm, and signature patterns (not their exact words or examples) 4. **Draft each post** following the format's structure template, the voice's DNA, and all Writing Rules below 5. **Run each post through the Screenshot Test:** "Would someone screenshot this and share it?" If no → rewrite before continuing

**Critical requirements:**

• Each post must use a DIFFERENT format (no repeats)
• Each post must sound like the selected voice (structural match, not word-for-word copy)
• Each post must be about the user's SPECIFIC topic (not generic advice)
• Each post must follow the format's structure template from formats.md
• Each post must be ready to copy-paste and post immediately — no placeholders

5. Format and Verify

• Structure output according to **Output Format** section
• Complete **Quality Checklist** self-verification before presenting output
• If any post feels generic, forced, or wouldn't pass the Screenshot Test → rewrite before presenting

Writing Rules

Hard constraints. No interpretation.

Core Rules (Apply to ALL posts)

• Maximum 280 characters for single posts. If a post exceeds 280 characters, it must be structured as a thread (each tweet under 280 characters).
• First line is the hook — it determines whether people click "Show more." Make it the strongest line in the post.
• Use line breaks strategically. White space = visual breathing room = readability.
• No hashtags. They reduce reach and look amateur on X.
• No engagement bait ("like if you agree", "RT if this resonates", "thoughts?"). It kills reach.
• No emojis unless the voice or topic specifically calls for it. When used, maximum 1-2 per post.
• Specific numbers > vague claims ("17 strategies" not "many strategies").
• Opinions > facts. X rewards bold takes, not Wikipedia summaries.
• Active voice only. Never passive.
• Present tense preferred.
• Every word must earn its place. If you can cut a word without losing meaning, cut it.
• No "I think" or "In my opinion" — just state the opinion as fact. Confidence is voice.

Voice-Matching Rules

• Match the voice's SENTENCE STRUCTURE — short choppy lines vs flowing sentences, fragments vs complete thoughts.
• Match their RHYTHM — how they
