X Algorithm Source

x-algorithm-boost

A Claude skill for X (Twitter) strategy and writing, built from the **actual open-source For You algorithm** — [xai-org/x-algorithm](https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm), August 2026 snapshot. Ranking weights, filter rules and thresholds are read out of the Rust and Scala source, not from blog posts about it.

Three command-line drivers plus an agent playbook. No dependencies.

Install

Unzip into your Claude skills directory. The archive's root entry is the skill folder, so it lands in the right place directly.

unzip x-algorithm-boost.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

PowerShell:

Expand-Archive x-algorithm-boost.zip -DestinationPath "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\"

For one project only, use `/.claude/skills/` instead. Claude discovers nested skill directories automatically.

Verify:

node ~/.claude/skills/x-algorithm-boost/score.mjs --text "hello world"

**Requires** Node 18+. Verified on Node 24.20, Windows and Git Bash. Zero npm dependencies — nothing to install.

What's in it

File	What it does
x-algorithm-boost/SKILL.md	The agent playbook. Claude loads this automatically when a request matches.
x-algorithm-boost/account.mjs	Audits an account — surfaces, credibility, stage, binding constraint
x-algorithm-boost/feedclone.mjs	Reproduces a feed on another account from a follow list
x-algorithm-boost/score.mjs	Audits, rewrites and A/B-scores a post
x-algorithm-boost/README.md	Same guide as this file, packaged alongside the skill

You don't have to run anything by hand — ask Claude and it drives them. The CLI is there when you want it.

Quickstart

Run these from the repo root, or `cd x-algorithm-boost` first and drop the directory prefix.

Audit an account

Start here for anything bigger than a single post. A zero-follower account has different physics, and no rewrite fixes a closed distribution surface.
