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:

Read the sidebar rules fully
Note whether self-promotion or links are allowed
If banned: post value-only or skip that thread entirely
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

Open target subreddits (from your config above)
Scan new + hot posts for intent keyword matches (from your config above)
Read the full post and subreddit rules
Choose action:
- Value reply + soft product mention
- Value-only reply (no mention)
- Skip
Write a unique reply — do not reuse templates verbatim
Post the comment
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
