It responds to the actual meaning of the postNot its keywords. A reply that misses a joke or sarcasm reads as automated instantly.

It adds something the post did not haveA reason, number, condition, example, or resource. If the author could have written it as a second paragraph, it is filler.

It does not begin by restating the postSummaries feel like padding. Start at your point, not theirs.

It names a specific situation instead of a crowd claimSwap “everyone,” “most people,” “nobody” for a case you can defend.

It claims no experience you do not haveInvented expertise is the fastest way to lose a thread when someone checks.

It sounds like you, not like a templateYour normal formality, sentence length, and vocabulary. Read it aloud — if you would not say it, do not post it.

It is short enough to invite a responseA reply is a hand extended, not a speech. Two to four sentences is usually enough.

Disagreement targets the claim, not the personName the exact point, offer the alternative, concede what you agree with.

It would survive being read out of contextReplies travel. Assume the least charitable screenshot.

Tick the checks to score your reply

Score updates as you tick. There is no submit button and nothing leaves this page.

How the score is banded

The bands are deliberately strict — they describe a reply worth posting, not a reply that merely avoids trouble.

Score	Band	What it means
9–10	Post it	The reply adds something only you could add. This is the standard worth holding.
7–8	Fix one thing first	Usually c4 or c7: get specific, or get shorter. A one-minute edit.
5–6	Rewrite	The reply is safe but filler. Pick one pattern — reason, example, condition, question — and rebuild it.
0–4	Do not post	This is the generic agreement the timeline already drowns in. It costs your account more than it earns.

Where this checklist comes from. The ten checks compress the same criteria used across our writing guides: the 30-second editing pass, the six annotated reply patterns, and the account-risk rules in what X’s automation rules actually allow. For how much of the workflow you can safely automate, see automating replies without spamming.

More free tools. Stuck on what to say in the first place? The reply idea generator returns six starter angles for the post in front of you. Before any of that, the reply length checker tells you whether the draft fits a single 280-character reply, and the thread splitter turns an over-long draft into numbered posts that each fit. And when the question is whether the thing you are writing should be a reply at all, the reply or quote decider turns four questions into the call. Then pair this checklist with the reply cadence planner — it turns your available minutes into a daily reply target, a session plan, and a four-week ramp, so the review habit this checklist enforces has a number to keep. And if the reply button itself is missing, the reply eligibility checker maps the four documented reasons a reply cannot be sent and names what still works. Finally, when the plan is bigger than the day, the reply allowance calculator tracks usage against X’s documented 50 posts and 200 replies a day and reports whether the rest of today still fits.
