Hermes Agent skill that learns from your Threads Insights to draft and score better posts
Threads Growth Skill is a Hermes Agent skill that pulls your own Threads Insights, finds the post formats that work for you, and drafts and scores new posts against them. A bi-weekly cron keeps the data fresh.
What Threads Growth Skill does
Threads Growth Skill is a Hermes Agent skill that improves your Threads posts using your own account data. Hermes logs into your Threads account with browser cookies, pulls your Insights for views, likes and replies per post, and identifies the formats that win for you rather than offering generic advice.
From there it drafts posts from your winning patterns, runs an algorithm red-line check against what it describes as Meta's 12 hard suppression rules and an AI-tone check with 10 sentence-level and 5 structure-level tells, and scores drafts before you publish. A bi-weekly cron scrapes Insights again, updates winning-formats.md and sends a report. Version 2.0 also adds share-motive evaluation and support for chaining multiple 500-character parts into one long post. The README says its older sections describe the original cookie-scraping skill and that the working system is the orbit Python CLI.
