Tone Adaptation Rules
X → Threads
- •Remove hashtags from body
- •Remove URLs — don't include bare links
- •Lowercase the text (unless proper noun)
- •Expand slightly — Threads allows more chars, add a thought
- •Make it conversational — like texting, not broadcasting
- •Replace em-dashes with commas or line breaks
Example
X: "Claude Sonnet 4.6 is live. 40% cheaper, same quality. #AI #Claude" Threads: "claude sonnet 4.6 just dropped. 40% cheaper and honestly same quality. makes the upgrade a no-brainer"
Threads → X
- •Tighten to 280 chars — cut aggressively
- •Sentence case — more authoritative
- •Add 1 hashtag if relevant and under char limit
- •Lead with the punchiest line
Example
Threads: "been running claude sonnet 4.6 for a week now. 40% cheaper than opus, outputs are basically identical for 90% of tasks." X: "Claude Sonnet 4.6 for a week: 40% cheaper, identical outputs on 90% of tasks. Worth the switch. #Claude"
