Reddit Post Writer
Write Reddit posts and comments that earn upvotes by leading with genuine value.
The affiliate recommendation comes second — after trust is built. Reddit users
have a finely tuned spam detector. This skill helps affiliates write like Redditors,
not marketers.

Workflow
Step 1: Understand Reddit Culture First
Before writing, confirm the target subreddit context. If subreddit is provided,
use web_search "reddit r/[subreddit] rules affiliate" to check:
- Are affiliate links explicitly banned? (many subreddits ban them outright)
- What post formats are most common? (links, text posts, discussions)
- What gets upvoted vs. downvoted in this community?
- Is there a community expectation of neutrality or personal experience?
Subreddits that generally tolerate product mentions:
r/productivity, r/entrepreneur, r/Entrepreneur, r/sidehustle, r/personalfinance,
r/freelance, r/marketing, r/SEO, r/webdev, r/startups, r/smallbusiness
Subreddits that are extremely ban-happy about promotion:
r/frugal, r/cscareerquestions, r/AskReddit, r/personalfinance (strict on direct links)
If subreddit bans affiliate links: do NOT write a post with a link. Instead, write
a post that mentions the product by name with a note like "Search for [product]
affiliate program if interested." Disclose and redirect.
