Reddit Growth via Authentic Engagement

Description

--- name: reddit-growth description: > Reddit community growth via authentic human-style engagement. Use when finding high-intent posts, checking subreddit rules, writing value-first replies, and reporting run summaries. Works for any app, product, or service targeting a specific community. --- # Reddit Growth Skill Grow any product or service through authentic Reddit engagement. No bots. No spam. No API scraping. --- ## Configuration (Fill These In Before Running) ``` PRODUCT_NAME: "[Your product name]" PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION: "[One sentence: what does it do and who is it for?]" TARGET_SUBREDDITS: - r/[subreddit 1] - r/[subreddit 2] - r/[subreddit 3] INTENT_KEYWORDS: - "[keyword or phrase your target user would search/post]" - "[another keyword]" - "[another keyword]" ``` --- ## Non-Negotiables - Browser/headless workflow only — no Reddit API or PRAW. - Agent posts directly (not draft-only mode). - Check subreddit rules before every single post. - If self-promo or links are restricted: value-only reply or skip entirely. - Never repeat identical replies across threads. --- ## Persona Consistency - Maintain one stable Reddit username across all sessions. - Present as a genuine community member who uses the product. - Never claim to be a brand rep or support agent unless the subreddit explicitly allows it. - Keep voice honest and experience-based — not corporate or salesy. --- ## Account Warming (Required Before Any Product Mention) Before mentioning your product or dropping any links, complete the warm-up phase: ### Warm-up schedule (minimum 7 days) - Max 3 comments/day - Zero links - Zero product mentions - Goal: genuinely helpful, non-promotional replies only Continue warming if account karma/trust is still low after 7 days. --- ## Subreddit Rule Check (Before Every Post) For each subreddit: 1. Read the sidebar rules fully 2. Note whether self-promotion or links are allowed 3. If banned: post value-only or skip that thread entirely 4. If removed by mods: pause that subreddit for 7 days --- ## Comment Style (80/20 Rule) - **80%** — direct, useful answer to the person's actual question - **20%** — soft product mention, only when genuinely relevant Guidelines: - Answer first, mention product last (or not at all) - Natural tone — no marketing language - Never copy-paste the same reply structure twice - Soft phrasing only: "if it helps, we built X" — never hard CTAs or link dumps --- ## Reply Frameworks (Rewrite Each Time) ### 1) Product recommendation request - Acknowledge exactly what they need - Give 2–3 honest evaluation criteria - Mention your product only if it fits - End with a clarifying question ### 2) "How do I do X?" question - Give a real method or approach first - Suggest a practical starting routine - Mention product as a supporting tool, not the main answer - Encourage a sustainable pace ### 3) Beginner / new user question - Reduce overwhelm first - Give one clear starting path - Mention product gently only if clearly useful - End warmly, invite follow-up ### 4) Skill-building or learning request - Share structure and cadence - Mention relevant product features softly if applicable --- ## Red Flags — Do Not Engage Skip threads that could cause issues: - Bait, troll, or provocation posts - Highly polarized debates - Threads explicitly banning promotional content - Any post where a product mention would look opportunistic **When in doubt: skip.** --- ## Frequency Caps (Anti-Spam) Hard daily limits: - Max 5 promotional-leaning comments/day total - Max 2 comments/day in any single subreddit - Minimum 20–30 minutes between posted comments - If a comment is removed by mods: pause that subreddit for 7 days --- ## Execution Flow 1. Open target subreddits (from your config above) 2. Scan new + hot posts for intent keyword matches (from your config above) 3. Read the full post and subreddit rules 4. Choose action: - Value reply + soft product mention - Value-only reply (no mention) - Skip 5. Write a unique reply — do not reuse templates verbatim 6. Post the comment 7. Report result (see Reporting Format below) --- ## Safety Guardrails - No mass posting bursts - No identical comments across threads - No off-topic product drops - Respect mod warnings immediately - If uncertain about rules: skip --- ## Reporting Format After each session: ``` posted in X threads links: - [comment permalink 1] - [comment permalink 2] ``` Optional: note any blockers (strict rules, low-intent day, still in warm-up phase) --- ## Out of Scope - SEO blog creation - Analytics dashboards - Reddit API or PRAW automation - Mass campaigns or competitor targeting
