karma-run — Daily Reddit Karma Run

Find the 3-5 best Reddit comment opportunities right now and log them to the Notion Karma Building DB. The goal is speed: Greg should be commenting within 10-20 minutes of running this skill.

---

When to Invoke

• Via slash command: /karma-run
• When the user asks for a "karma run", "find reddit posts to comment on", or similar

---

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch Rising Posts

Use curl with the Reddit JSON API to fetch rising/new posts from these subreddit groups:

# HIGH KARMA potential (large audiences, viral potential)
curl -s -H "User-Agent: beanies-karma-run/1.0" \
  "https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/rising/.json?limit=25"

# TARGET COMMUNITY (builds local reputation in subs we'll eventually post in)
curl -s -H "User-Agent: beanies-karma-run/1.0" \
  "https://old.reddit.com/r/daddit+Parenting+personalfinance/rising/.json?limit=15"

# TECH / MAKER (authentic expertise)
curl -s -H "User-Agent: beanies-karma-run/1.0" \
  "https://old.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips+NoStupidQuestions+todayilearned+ExperiencedDevs+webdev/rising/.json?limit=20"

Parse each response with Python to extract: title, subreddit, score, num_comments, age in minutes, permalink.

Step 2: Filter for Best Opportunities

Apply these filters to find the top 3-5 posts:

Ideal post characteristics:

• Posted 15 min - 4 hours ago (fresh enough to be early)
• Rising momentum: score > 5 for smaller subs, score > 50 for large subs (r/AskReddit)
• Low comment count relative to score (not yet saturated)
• Topic matches Greg's expertise areas (see below)
• NOT political, controversial, or NSFW

Greg's expertise areas (filter for these):

• Parenting 3 boys (ages 5, 7, 9), family logistics, kids' activities
• Solo parenting during wife's business trips (2-3 week stretches)
• Software engineering, IT consulting, vibe coding with AI
• Personal finance, family budgeting, multi-currency (lives in Hong Kong)
• Entrepreneurship, building side projects, startup experience
• General dad life, work-life balance, working parents
• Tech industry opinions, career advice
• Universal human experiences (food, memories, humor)

Scoring heuristic:

• Posts in target community subs (r/daddit, r/Parenting) get priority even with lower scores
• r/AskReddit posts with < 100 comments and > 100 score are ideal (riding the wave early)
• LPT/TIL posts with < 10 comments and rising score are high-value
• Any post where Greg has a unique angle (dad of 3, HK expat, IT consultant) scores higher

Step 3: Present Opportunities

For each of the top 3-5 posts, present:

### 1. r/SubredditName — "Post Title"
**[Score pts, N comments, Xm old]**
https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/id/slug/

**Why this is a good opportunity:** [1 sentence — why it's rising, why the comment count is good]
**Comment angle:** [2-3 sentences — the angle Greg should take, NOT a full draft. Greg writes in his own voice.]

End with a recommendation of which 2-3 to prioritize.

Step 4: Log to Notion Karma Building DB

After presenting the opportunities, add each one to the Notion Karma Building DB.

Database details:

• Database ID: 32f247d9-a99f-8000-9be4-c939bb1ef690
• Parent page: 32f247d9-a99f-81cf-8b2d-f336b80f422a (Reddit Karma Building)

Use mcp__notion__API-post-page to create each entry with:

{
  "parent": { "database_id": "32f247d9-a99f-8000-9be4-c939bb1ef690" },
  "properties": {
    "Name": { "title": [{ "text": { "content": "<post title truncated to 80 chars>" } }] },
    "Subreddit": { "select": { "name": "r/<subreddit>" } },
    "Link": { "url": "<full reddit URL>" },
    "Draft Comment": { "rich_text": [{ "text": { "content": "<the comment angle suggestion>" } }] },
    "Posted": { "checkbox": false },
    "Tier": { "select": { "name": "<tier>" } }
  }
}

Tier mapping:

• r/AskReddit, r/todayilearned, r/LifeProTips with high momentum → "1 - High ROI"
• r/daddit, r/Parenting, r/personalfinance, r/ExperiencedDevs → "2 - Strong"
• Everything else → "3 - Quick Win"

Subreddit select options (existing in the DB — add new ones as needed): r/ExperiencedDevs, r/technology, r/personalfinance, r/programming, r/LifeProTips, r/NoStupidQuestions, r/todayilearned, r/mildlyinfuriating, r/webdev, r/Showerthoughts, r/mildlyinteresting, r/AskReddit, r/pics, r/AskParents, r/SideProject, r/daddit, r/Parenting

Step 5: Summary

End with:

• Total opportunities logged: N
• Reminder: "Mark 'Posted' checkbox in Notion after commenting"
• Current karma status if the user mentions it

Rules

• SPEED IS EVERYTHING. The whole point is to get Greg commenting on fresh posts. Don't over-analyze — present good-enough opportunities fast.
• No full draft comments. Only provide an angle/hook. Greg writes in his own voice.
• No links, no app mentions, no self-promotion in any suggested comment angles. This is pure karma building.
• Mix subreddits: Always include at least 1 high-karma sub AND 1 target community sub.
• Skip posts that are: political/partisan, NSFW, already saturated (100+ comments on small subs), too old (6+ hours), or topics Greg has no authentic angle on.
• If Reddit API fails: Fall back to WebSearch or suggest Greg check reddit.com/r/daddit+AskReddit+Parenting/rising/ manually.
• Log to Notion every time. This creates a trackable history of karma building efforts.
