When to use this skill

• "Write a Reddit post on r/ _{about X"}
• "Help me post on r/_"
• The user provides a target subreddit and a topic.

For REPLIES to an existing thread, use notslop-write-reddit-reply instead.

Setup

notslop init configured.

Steps

1. Pull sub-scoped fresh signal:

   notslop digest "<TOPIC>" --sources reddit --since 7d --top 15 --for-content
   

   If the user wants posts narrowed to a specific subreddit, look at the user's config (or pass --subreddits if available).

2. Read the digest carefully — what's the culture of the sub? Casual? Highly technical? Skeptical of vendors? Adopt tone accordingly.

3. Write the post with these constraints:

   • No self-promotion patterns: no "check out my X", no shill links, no "I built a tool that solves this" lead-ins.
   • First person OK when sharing experience.
   • Cite at least one current post in the sub by paraphrasing it (shows you've read the room).
   • Title is half the work: specific, not clickbait. Max 80 chars typical.
   • Body: 200-600 chars.
   • No emojis unless the sub uses them heavily.

4. Show the draft. Suggest 1-2 alternate titles.
