Paste a viral-post DNA JSON; feed 20–30 hits; write from field intelligence
"Write something viral" is vague; copying one hit doesn't teach the pattern.
What hurt
Amir (@AmirMushich) shares a JSON schema for observing viral posts as field intelligence. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Paste the schema, fill it for 20–30 posts (hook type, first frame, novelty, velocity), then ask the bot to craft new posts from that DNA—not from a single example.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Viral posts DNA schema (author-quoted)
Quoted from @AmirMushich — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.

}First run
- 1Read https://x.com/AmirMushich/status/2109225811853124051 (credit @AmirMushich).
- 2Paste the author's JSON schema into your bot as a template.
- 3Fill it for 20–30 recent viral posts in your niche.
- 4Ask it to propose posts from the DNA, not from one example.
- 5Edit and approve before anything goes public.
Approval fence
Drafts only until you approve the exact text to post.
What to tweak
Field intel beats one lucky template.
