Twitter/X thread from a long-form article

You wrote (or read) something good. You want a thread version that drives people back.

Works best in: Claude

Turn this article into a Twitter thread that earns clicks back to the original.

Article:
{{paste article or link + summary}}

Constraints:
- 6-9 tweets max (less is better)
- First tweet hooks, no clickbait — give a specific takeaway, not "here's what nobody talks about"
- Each tweet stands alone — someone scrolling past tweet 4 should still get value
- Last tweet links back: "Full version: [link]"
- No threads-of-threads — keep it tight
- No emojis unless they actually clarify (mostly: don't)

Output:
1. The thread (numbered)
2. **The hook tweet alternatives** (3 versions of tweet 1) — pick one based on the article's actual strongest claim, not what's most viral
3. **What I cut and why** — what didn't make the thread, and what kind of reader I'm leaving on the table by cutting it
