The problem
Before he built the skills, Sharyph says, “repurposing one newsletter issue took me 3 to 4 hours.” He adds: “Sometimes I skipped it entirely because I didn’t have the energy after writing the newsletter itself.”
The blueprint (as he describes it)
Setup. He describes a Skill as “a saved prompt file that becomes a slash command.” He gives these steps:
- Download Claude Code as a desktop app or VS Code extension.
- Open your project folder inside Claude Code.
- Create a folder called
.claude/commands/inside the project. - Drop the skill files into that folder.
- Restart Claude Code. The commands appear automatically.
The five skills.
- /tweet takes a newsletter URL and generates 8-12 tweet variations in different formats, such as contrarian takes, question-answer formats and story nuggets. Each is under 280 characters with no hashtags or emojis. He says it takes under 2 minutes.
- /create-thread turns the same newsletter into an X thread. The thread has a hook, separators between tweets, mentions for companies referenced, exact URLs preserved and a CTA back to the newsletter.
- /push-to-typefully takes the output of /tweet and /create-thread and pushes it into Typefully as scheduled drafts across your preferred posting days and times. It shows a schedule preview before pushing anything, and you confirm.
- /authority-post needs no newsletter URL. It analyzes recent posts from 20+ thought leaders you specify, identifies what’s trending and the gaps, and returns 5 post concepts. You pick one. It runs a quality gate of 8 yes/no questions. If the concept passes, it writes 3 multi-paragraph posts of 100 to 500+ words in your voice.
- /seo-optimize optimizes a blog post or article for Google and for AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. He calls it a 10-step process covering title tags, meta descriptions, a TL;DR answer capsule, restructured headings, paragraph optimization, internal links, an FAQ section and key takeaways. It produces 4 output files in an organized folder.
Weekly order. He runs the skills in this sequence after each issue:
- Newsletter published.
- /tweet and /create-thread.
- /push-to-typefully, with one confirmation.
- /authority-post for mid-week long-form posts.
- /seo-optimize for blog posts.
In his words: “One newsletter. One session.”
Stated results
- Repurposing one issue went from 3 to 4 hours to under 30 minutes (his estimate).
- Before the skills, he sometimes skipped repurposing entirely.
- /tweet produces 8-12 tweets in under 2 minutes (his description).
- He says output quality is better because he isn’t rewriting prompts from memory, making format decisions when tired or forgetting a CTA. “The system holds all of that. I just review and publish.”
- No engagement, follower, traffic, ranking or AI-citation figures are stated.
Why this matters for postby.ai
- One saved command per output format is a simple pattern for a repurposing loop.
- The schedule preview and confirm step before anything reaches Typefully keeps a human in the loop at the point where content goes live.
Caveats
- The post sells a paid tier. The skill files are “available exclusively to paid members of The Digital Creator” at $39/month or $150/year. The post doesn’t include the files, so the prompts themselves can’t be checked.
- This is first-person, written by Sharyph in his own newsletter. It is not a third-party story.
- The time figures are self-reported. No before/after measurement or engagement data is given.
- The post doesn’t explain how /push-to-typefully connects to Typefully.
- The scheduling scope is inconsistent. The text says “An entire week of content”, while the workflow diagram says “Everything scheduled for the weeks and month.”
- The diagram describes /seo-optimize output as “Blog posts ranked on Google and cited by AI tools”. No evidence of rankings or citations is given.
