How to copy an X thread or post to Claude
Convert an X/Twitter thread or post to Markdown before pasting it into Claude, avoiding blocked URLs, missing replies, and incomplete context.
Why URLs fail
A link is a request. Markdown is context.
If the assistant cannot fetch X, can only see the target post, or hits a login wall, it has to guess. tweet.md turns the source into text the model can actually read.
x.com URL → maybe blocked / partial / dynamic
tweet.md → ordered Markdown in the prompt
Claude can fetch some links in supported plans and surfaces, but direct link fetching still depends on web access, rate limits, and source availability.
X threads are easy to lose because the visible page may omit earlier posts, quoted posts, or replies beyond the target post.
tweet.md turns the thread into plain Markdown that Claude can reason over immediately, with no separate browser step.

https://tweet.md/jack/status/20?thread=full - 03
Copy the Markdown output.
Use
?thread=fullfor the full same-author chain. Paid users can omit it because full thread context is the default. - 04
Paste into Claude with a source-grounded prompt.
Tell the model to use the pasted Markdown as the source of truth.
