X Algorithm Optimizer

Optimize content for X's 2026 neural recommendation system. Based on technical analysis of the xai-org/x-algorithm codebase, this skill provides both tactical templates for immediate use and deep architectural understanding for strategic advantage.

The Paradigm Shift: Neural > Heuristics

X has abandoned the legacy heuristic approach (counting followers, matching hashtags, PageRank reputation). The new system uses end-to-end neural architecture:

• Thunder: In-network retrieval (posts from accounts you follow)
• Phoenix: Out-of-network retrieval + neural ranking (the "For You" discovery engine)
• Grok-1 Transformer: The "Heavy Ranker" that reads and scores every candidate post

The implication: You can't "hack" hashtags or posting times anymore. The algorithm reads your content semantically and predicts specific engagement probabilities. Alignment beats manipulation.

Quick Start

Analyze a post: "Score this X post against the algorithm: [paste]"
