| description | Draft and approve Reddit comments from scouted opportunities with a hard human-in-the-loop gate. Reads an opportunity queue (a Clearbox inbox export or your own scout output), drafts voice-matched comments that add real value, and collects approve/edit/reject decisions one by one. Nothing posts without explicit approval. Use when the user types "/reddit-engage" or says "draft Reddit replies", "engage on Reddit". |
reddit-engage
Draft voice-matched Reddit comments from scouted opportunities, get approval, then (and only then) post.
The queue
Input is a queue of scouted opportunities — a Clearbox opportunity inbox export, or the output of your own scout script. Each item carries: subreddit, post title, URL, why it surfaced, and a score. Track status per item: scouted → drafted → approved | rejected → posted.
Count and report the queue state before drafting anything. If nothing is scouted, say so and stop.
Voice rules (what keeps an account alive)
- Write like a builder sharing what they learned, not a marketer promoting.
- Casual, direct, no corporate speak. No em-dashes as filler.
- Self-deprecating humor is fine; "as an expert" framing is not.
- No emojis unless the sub's culture uses them heavily.
- No hard CTAs and no links to your stuff in comments. The profile bio does that work.
- Match the energy of the thread: technical threads get technical replies.
- Reference your real experience, not your brand. Share what happened, never drop the product name unprompted.
Steps
- Load the queue and show the counts by status.
- Present each opportunity: subreddit, title, score, why it matched, URL.
- Draft a comment per item. Read the post first. The reply must add genuine value on its own: a tip, a "here's what worked for me", a relevant experience. 2–5 sentences for comments; longer only if the post warrants depth. If you can't draft something genuine, skip it and say why.
- Collect decisions one at a time: approve / edit (user supplies the text) / reject (record the reason). Save the queue after every decision, not at the end — progress is never lost.
- Summarize: approved / rejected / skipped, and what happens next.
Rules
- Human-in-the-loop always — nothing posts without explicit per-item approval.
- Save after each decision — write the queue incrementally.
- Voice compliance — run every draft through the slop filter: no "game-changer", "revolutionize", "unlock", "level up", "deep dive".
- No self-promotion in comments — share experiences, not links.
- Skip gracefully — 3 good comments beat 10 mid ones. If a post doesn't warrant a genuine reply, skip.
- Read the room — contentious threads or threads outside your real expertise get skipped.
