When to use this

You shipped something real (a feature, a fix that unlocks a workflow, a new integration) and need to announce it on X or LinkedIn. You have the changelog note but not the marketing copy.

The pattern

Pastes as plain text

Turn the feature we just shipped into a launch thread for X/Twitter.

Structure the thread as exactly 5 tweets:
1. Hook: a specific, concrete claim or number. No generic excitement. Make someone stop scrolling.
2. Problem: the pain in one or two sentences, described from the user's point of view, not ours.
3. Solution: what we built, in plain language. No feature-list jargon.
4. Proof: a specific detail that makes this credible (a real number, a before/after, a use case). If I didn't give you one, write the line NEED PROOF POINT instead of inventing one.
5. CTA: one clear next action, ending with the link I gave you.

Rules:
- Each tweet under 280 characters.
- No hashtags, no emojis, no "excited to announce."
- Write like a founder explaining it to a peer, not a press release.
- Output as a numbered list, one tweet per line.

First, find what shipped yourself if you can: if we're in the project repo, read the changelog entry or the last few commits to get the feature and who it's for. Then ask me in one message for what you still need, the before/after (what was painful, what's possible now) and the link to send people to, and wait for my reply before writing.

Real example output

1. We just cut the average PR review time on our platform from 4 hours to 12 minutes.
2. Most teams review PRs in the order they land, not the order that matters. High-risk changes sit in the queue behind trivial ones for hours.
3. We built risk-based queue ordering. It scores every open PR on blast radius and bumps the risky ones to the top automatically.
4. One team went from 40% of PRs sitting overnight to 6%, in the first week, no process change on their end.
5. It's live for everyone today. No setup. Open your queue: app.example.com/queue

Why it works

Fixing the structure (hook, problem, solution, proof, CTA) forces the model to lead with a claim instead of an announcement, and the explicit "no invented proof" rule stops it from fabricating stats you'd have to walk back.
