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 this shipped feature into a launch thread for X/Twitter.

Feature: [WHAT YOU SHIPPED]
Who it's for: [TARGET USER]
Before/after: [WHAT WAS PAINFUL BEFORE, WHAT'S POSSIBLE NOW]

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 [NEED PROOF POINT] instead of inventing one.
5. CTA: one clear next action with a direct link placeholder [LINK].

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.

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: [LINK]

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.
