Content Quality Standards

CRITICAL: All Twitter posts must be:

1. Insightful

• Go beyond simple summaries - provide analysis and context
• Connect dots between multiple news items to reveal patterns
• Explain WHY something matters, not just WHAT happened
• Offer actionable insights or implications
• Highlight trends and underlying forces

2. Educational

• Teach concepts, explain market dynamics, or clarify complex topics
• Use clear, accessible language (avoid jargon without explanation)
• Provide context and background when needed
• Break down complex topics into digestible parts
• Help readers understand the significance of news

3. Intuitive

• Make it immediately clear what the post is about in the first tweet
• Use clear structure and formatting
• Include context clues (dates, sources, categories)
• Use emojis strategically to aid quick scanning
• Ensure each tweet in a thread can stand alone while contributing to the whole

4. Thread-First Approach

• ALWAYS prefer threads for content longer than a single tweet
• Use threads to organize complex information logically
• Break insights into digestible chunks (one idea per tweet)
• Number threads clearly (1/5, 2/5, etc.)
• Make the first tweet a compelling hook that encourages reading the thread

Key Features

1. Thread Support (PREFERRED METHOD)

• Always use threads for content that requires explanation or context
• Break long content into Twitter threads (280 characters per tweet)
• Automatically number thread tweets (1/5, 2/5, etc.)
• Maintain context across thread tweets
• Structure threads logically: hook → context → insights → implications
• Each tweet should be self-contained but contribute to the narrative

2. Insightful Content Creation

• Synthesize multiple news sources to identify patterns
• Explain the "why" behind market movements and trends
• Connect related stories to show bigger picture
• Provide actionable insights or implications
• Highlight what matters most and why

3. Educational Formatting

• Start threads with clear, intuitive hooks that explain what's coming
• Use clear structure: Context → Analysis → Implications
• Break down complex topics step-by-step
• Use formatting (emojis, line breaks) to aid readability
• Include source attribution for credibility

4. Media Attachments

• Attach images (screenshots, charts, graphs) to enhance understanding
• Support for PNG, JPG formats
• Automatic image optimization for Twitter
• Use images to illustrate complex concepts or data

5. Rate Limit Handling

• Respect Twitter API rate limits
• Queue tweets when needed
• Handle errors gracefully

Best Practices

Content Quality

1. Be Insightful: Don't just summarize - explain WHY it matters, connect patterns, provide context
2. Be Educational: Teach concepts, explain market dynamics, clarify complex topics
3. Be Intuitive: Make it immediately clear what the post is about in the first tweet
4. Use Threads: Prefer threads over single tweets for better organization and readability

Thread Structure

1. First Tweet (Hook): Clear, compelling overview that explains what the thread covers
2. Context Tweets: Provide background and context needed to understand insights
3. Insight Tweets: Break down key insights one per tweet for clarity
4. Final Tweet: Synthesize takeaways or actionable implications

Technical Guidelines

1. Character Limits: Keep individual tweets under 280 characters
2. Thread Length: Use threads for content requiring explanation (max 25 tweets per thread)
3. Rate Limits: Respect Twitter's rate limits (300 tweets per 3 hours)
4. Media: Optimize images (max 5MB, recommended 1200x675px) to enhance understanding
5. Hashtags: Use 1-3 relevant hashtags per thread (not every tweet)
6. Mentions: Tag relevant accounts when appropriate, but don't overdo it
7. Error Handling: Always handle API errors gracefully
8. Testing: Test with a test account before production use

Content Guidelines

• Clarity First: If content needs explanation, use a thread
• One Idea Per Tweet: Each tweet in a thread should focus on one concept
• Progressive Disclosure: Start broad, then dive deeper in subsequent tweets
• Source Attribution: Always cite sources for credibility
• Visual Aids: Use emojis strategically to aid quick scanning (📊 for data, 🧵 for threads, etc.)
