A thread works when each post moves the idea forward. Preparing it as JSON makes the sequence easy to read before the CLI schedules it.

Do not ask a script to summarize a private draft and publish the result in one step. Approve the thread file as its own public artifact.

## What you will do

- Prepare a two-to-twenty-five-post JSON thread.
- Schedule it to one connected X account.
- Review order, links and status in DunSocial.

## Before you start

- Node.js 20 or newer and the DunSocial CLI installed with `npm install -g dunsocial`.
- A selected workspace and the DunSocial account IDs returned by `dun accounts list`.
- Browser login for a laptop, or a workspace-bound token stored in a secret manager for automation.

## Step by step

### 1. Choose one argument

Pull one self-contained idea from the newsletter. Keep the full piece available through a public link if readers need more context.

### 2. Write the JSON sequence

Use an array of strings and read it top to bottom.

```
[
  "The opening claim in your own voice.",
  "The concrete example that supports it.",
  "What remains unresolved — plus the newsletter link."
]
```

### 3. Find the X account and schedule

Copy the DunSocial account ID, then schedule the reviewed file.

```
dun accounts list --platform x

dun posts schedule-thread \
  --account X_ACCOUNT_ID \
  --file ./thread.json \
  --at 2026-08-22T10:00:00+05:30
```

### 4. Verify as one thread

Open the preview and confirm every post, link and order. Keep the returned ID so you can cancel the queued thread without creating a second copy.

## Check before you finish

- `dun workspace current` shows the intended workspace before a write command.
- The command uses DunSocial account IDs rather than social @handles.
- The new item appears in DunSocial with the expected CLI source, copy and time.

## Where to go next

After the thread publishes, respond as yourself; the automation has finished its job once the sequence is delivered correctly.
