ListeningKitAnswering the people who engaged with your posts
When one of your posts gets comments, the people who commented are the warmest people on X for you. There are two ways to follow up, both public replies:
- Answer their comment under your post, pointing at the follow-up (a newer post, a video, an article).
- Reply to a fresh post of theirs where you have a real take, so the conversation moves onto their timeline.
Run it from a fresh context
Say: "go on docs/useCases/twitter/engagementReplies.md for <post url>" and, if there is one, the follow-up link. The agent then reads this page and README.md and runs the steps.
The steps
| # | Step | Tool | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Session check | twitterSessionCheck | loggedIn |
| 1 | Who commented on the post (not the account itself) | treg's X comments read | a list of commenters with their comment |
| 2 | Drop bots and hype accounts (few followers and no bio, or a one-word "🔥"), anyone already answered, and anyone not worth a reply | treg's X profile read, the account's past replies | the people worth answering |
| 3a | Answer the comment: one line that answers what they said, then the follow-up link | house style | passes twitterQueueCheck |
| 3b | Or their own post: read their recent posts and pick one from the last few days where you have a real take | treg's X posts read | one post per person and the line for it |
| 4 | Show the owner the table: who, what they said, the post being replied to, the line | wherever the owner reads | the owner says yes |
| 5 | Queue it with likes and send | README queue steps | finished |
Where the comment was a question (for example "what does the first message actually look like"), the answer is the reply. Unanswered questions are the best openers.
What a line looks like
someone asked: "what is that tool?"
the thing i replaced in this one i ran all my followers through it for cents
<follow-up link>
What the runs taught
- Write in house style from the start. Copy written with full stops and commas is refused by
check. - Vary the lines. Spintax (
{a|b}) is a quick way to draft variations, but expand it into plain lines beforetwitterQueueBuild.
Next
- #36 expands spintax in the queue.
Likers and reposters aren't in a comments read: they have their own page, engagerDms.md.
