# X Profile Optimizer

Audit the seven parts of an X profile (photo, header, display name, @handle, bio, pinned tweet, link) against what actually converts a profile-clicker into a follower in 2026, then rewrite each part that needs it. On X the whole decision happens in about two seconds on the profile card: name, bio, pinned tweet. That is what this fixes.

## When to use

- User pastes their X profile or handle and asks for an audit
- "Fix my bio", "rewrite my Twitter bio", "what should I pin"
- User is starting to post seriously and wants the profile to match
- Any of: "review my X profile", "optimize my header", "profile audit"

Not for writing tweets (use `x-post-writer`) or threads (use `x-thread-builder`).

X Profile Optimizer

When to use

User pastes their X profile or handle and asks for an audit
"Fix my bio", "rewrite my Twitter bio", "what should I pin"
User is starting to post seriously and wants the profile to match
Any of: "review my X profile", "optimize my header", "profile audit"

Not for writing tweets (use x-post-writer) or threads (use x-thread-builder).

Input

Profile URL / handle (or a screenshot of the profile card)
Goal: grow a following / drive signups / land clients / build authority — the bio CTA and pinned tweet change by goal
Optional: their best-performing tweets, to pick a pin

Output

Scorecard (7 parts, pass / needs-work / fail)
Priority fixes ranked by impact (bio and pin first, always)
Before → After rewrites for each failing part
Pinned-tweet pick with the reason

Steps

Intake. Collect the profile state + goal. Note the account tier (Premium unlocks a longer bio and longer posts).
Score the 7 parts against the scorecard below.
Rewrite the bio (160 chars). Formula: who you help + what you post about + one proof or specific. Lead with the value, not the job title. No "I help X do Y" cliche opener unless the rest is specific. Fit inside 160 (Premium: more, but tight still wins).
Fix the display name (50 chars). Real name + a searchable keyword people actually type (e.g. "Sam Rivera | LinkedIn Growth"). The name field is searchable; the @handle mostly is not.
Pick the pinned tweet. Their single best proof of what a new follower will get: a top-performing post, a mini-portfolio thread, or a clear offer matched to the goal. A profile with no pin leaves the most important slot empty.
Rewrite the header (1500x500). One line of value prop + a light visual, readable on mobile, not a busy collage. It reinforces the bio, it does not repeat it.
Set the link. One link, matched to the goal (newsletter / offer / site). If they need several, a single link-hub, not a bare homepage.
Photo check. Clear face, fills the frame, recent, high contrast against the header. It is a 48px circle for most viewers, so detail is wasted; contrast is not.
Deliver the before/after diff + the two-second test: read only name, bio, and pin, and ask "would a stranger follow from this alone?"

Seven-part scorecard

#	Part	Pass criteria (2026)
1	Photo	Clear face filling the frame, recent, high contrast at 48px, no busy background
2	Header	1500x500, one readable value-prop line, mobile-safe, reinforces (not repeats) the bio
3	Display name	Real name + a searchable keyword, inside 50 chars
4	@handle	Short, memorable, no numbers/underscores if avoidable
5	Bio	Value + topic + proof inside 160 chars; no cliche opener; leads with what a follower gets
6	Pinned tweet	Present, and it is their best proof matched to the goal (not a random recent tweet)
7	Link	One, goal-matched; a link-hub if several are needed

Hard rules

Global voice rules: see root SKILL.md Voice rules. Additional skill-specific rules:

The bio must pass the two-second test: a stranger reading only name + bio + pin should know who this is for and want to follow.
Lead the bio with the reader's benefit, not the user's job title.
One specific or one number in the bio where the account allows it.
Keep every rewrite inside the platform character limits (bio 160, name 50). Never ship a truncated bio.
At most one em dash in the bio (a 160-char bio rarely needs one). No "leverage", "fundamentally", "game-changer".

x-post-writer - write the tweets the optimized profile will host
x-hook-extractor - find a pin-worthy hook in a tweet that already worked
x-content-planner - plan the cadence that fills the profile
