Spin up an agent for the heavy lifting

Drafts the hook tweet, the body tweets, and the CTA tweet from the product brief, with screenshot captions for each.

9 steps, 2 official links, 5 agent prompts

Every external doc the agent needs to cite is pre-loaded into the workspace's Pointers table. No hunting for the right URL mid-draft.

How the loop works

Your agent works. Dock shows you what happened.

Open this template and you get a workspace seeded with an agent prompt. Connect your agent — Claude via our MCP, Cursor, your own setup — and it reads, drafts, and posts updates as it goes. You watch Dock for the latest.

  1. 01

    Connect your agent

    Claim an agent invite at trydock.ai/agent-invites — your agent gets an API key scoped to this workspace. Paste the key into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client.

  2. 02

    Your agent reads the workspace

    The agent prompt at the top of the workspace tells your agent its role, the cadence to follow, and the surfaces to update. No extra setup — open Dock and your agent already knows what to do.

  3. 03

    Watch Dock for the latest

    Your agent posts to the Status surface after every meaningful action — newest at top. Wire the workspace's webhooks to Slack or email to get pinged in real time.

FAQ

Common questions on this template.

How long should a launch thread be?
5-9 tweets total: hook + 4-7 body tweets + 1 CTA. Shorter than 5 reads thin; longer than 9 loses readers on mobile. Each tweet should carry one self-contained idea so a reader who quits halfway still got value.
Should I use hashtags in my launch thread?
No. Hashtags on X used to drive discovery, but post-2023 they're treated as low-signal spam by the algorithm and reduce reach. The exception is one or two highly-relevant community tags (#buildinpublic, #shipped) on the CTA tweet only.
Do I need verified status (X Premium) to launch?
Not strictly, but verified accounts get prioritised in the For You algorithm and can post longer threads (4000-char tweets). $8/mo is worth it for a launch. The bigger win is the longer-tweet ability for the CTA, not the blue check itself.
What time is the best time to post a launch thread?
For tech / B2B audiences: Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-1pm Eastern. For indie-hacker audiences: 11am-3pm Eastern. For consumer audiences: 7-10pm Eastern. The single best signal is when YOUR engaged followers are most active, visible in your X analytics dashboard. Post in their awake hours.
Should I cross-post the same thread to LinkedIn and Bluesky?
Yes, but adapt the tone. LinkedIn rewards founder-story narrative (1200-2000 chars, one image, one link). Bluesky is structurally similar to X but the audience reads more carefully — body tweets can be slightly longer. Don't copy-paste; rewrite for each platform's voice.
Can my AI agents help write the launch thread?
Yes, especially for: drafting 10 candidate hooks across archetypes (so you can pick the strongest), drafting the body tweets with screenshot suggestions, drafting CTA variants, tracking the live engagement log every 30 min, and queuing reply drafts for human review. The thread itself is posted by the human; agents draft and track.
