Reddit Discussion Post Generator
Produce a subreddit-ready discussion post and 2-3 targeted subreddit suggestions
from the content atoms provided by the orchestrator.
Inputs
Received from the parent agent (repurpose-longform):
| Input | Description |
|---|
atoms | Full list of content atoms with types and impact ratings |
main_argument | One-sentence thesis of the source content |
target_audience | Who benefits from this content |
primary_topic | Category or niche |
voice_profile | Detected or overridden brand voice |
brief_mode | If true, produce post only (skip subreddit analysis) |
Core Principle: The 10% Self-Promotion Rule
Reddit communities enforce a rough 90/10 rule: 90% of your posts should be
genuine contributions, 10% can reference your own work.
What this means for output:
- Position the author as a contributor, never a marketer
- The post must deliver standalone value -- a reader who never clicks a link
should still learn something
- Any link to the original content goes at the bottom, framed naturally
- Never use phrases like "check out my blog" or "I wrote an article about this"
- Instead: "I put together a longer breakdown here if anyone wants the details: [link]"
Output 1: Discussion Post
File: reddit/post.md
Title
- Max 300 characters (Reddit's limit)
- Frame as a question or observation -- never as an announcement
- Good: "After analyzing 50 newsletters, here's what actually drives opens"
- Good: "Has anyone else noticed [specific trend] in [topic]?"
- Bad: "My guide to newsletter marketing"
- Bad: "Check out my latest blog post on [topic]"
Title formulas (pick the best fit):
| Formula | When to Use |
|---|
| "After [doing X], here's what I found" | When content has original data or experience |
| "Has anyone else noticed [observation]?" | When content identifies a trend |
| "[Topic] question: [specific question]" | When content answers a non-obvious question |
| "I [did X] and the results surprised me" | When content has a contrarian or unexpected finding |
| "[Number] things I learned about [topic]" | When content has clear, numbered takeaways |
Post Body
Length: 200-500 words. Reddit penalizes both too-short and wall-of-text posts.
Format: Reddit markdown.
Structure:
-
Context/Observation (2-3 sentences)
Open with a relatable situation or observation. Establish credibility through
specificity, not credentials. "I've been doing X for Y months" not "As a
certified expert in X."
-
Key Insight (1-2 paragraphs)
The meatiest atom from the content. Present it as a discovery or realization,
not a teaching moment. Use evidence: numbers, examples, comparisons.
-
Supporting Points (bulleted, 3-5 items)
Pull from the strongest atoms. Each bullet should be one clear thought.
Use Reddit markdown formatting:
- **Bold the key phrase** then explain briefly
- **Another point** with supporting detail
-
Open Question (1-2 sentences)
End with a genuine question that invites debate. NOT "What do you think?"
(too generic). Instead, ask something specific that people can disagree on.
-
Optional Link (1 sentence, at the very bottom)
Only if the original content adds substantial value beyond the post.
Frame: "Full breakdown with [specific extra detail] here: [link]"
Separate from the discussion prompt with a line break.
Tone Rules
| Do | Do NOT |
|---|
| Use "I" and "we" | Use "you should" or "you need to" |
| Share evidence and specifics | Make unsubstantiated claims |
| Acknowledge uncertainty ("in my experience") | Speak in absolutes |
| Use casual language and contractions | Use marketing jargon |
| Ask genuine questions | Ask rhetorical questions |
| Credit sources | Claim everything as original |
Use **bold** for emphasis | Use ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation |
| Include line breaks between paragraphs | Write wall-of-text blocks |
Reddit Formatting Reference

Output 2: Subreddit Suggestions
File: reddit/subreddits.md
Analyze the content topic and suggest 2-3 relevant subreddits.
For each subreddit, provide:
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Subreddit | r/SubredditName |
| Relevance | Why this content fits (1 sentence) |
| Size | Approximate subscriber count tier (small <50k, medium 50-500k, large 500k+) |
| Culture | Brief description of posting norms and community expectations |
| Flair | Suggest applicable post flair if the subreddit uses them |
| Rules to Watch | 1-2 specific rules that could affect this post |
| Adaptation Notes | Any changes needed to the post body for this specific subreddit |
Subreddit selection criteria:
- Topic match -- the subreddit actively discusses this subject
- Size sweet spot -- medium subreddits (50k-500k) often have the best engagement
- Self-promotion tolerance -- some subreddits ban all external links; note this
- Post type fit -- discussion-oriented subreddits over link-dump subreddits
Common subreddit categories by content type:
| Content Topic | Likely Subreddits |
|---|
| Marketing | r/marketing, r/digital_marketing, r/content_marketing |
| Entrepreneurship | r/Entrepreneur, r/smallbusiness, r/startups |
| Tech/SaaS | r/SaaS, r/webdev, r/programming |
| Productivity | r/productivity, r/getdisciplined |
| Writing/Content | r/copywriting, r/ContentCreation, r/blogging |
| Social Media | r/socialmedia, r/Instagram, r/Twitter |
| SEO | r/SEO, r/bigseo |
| AI/Automation | r/artificial, r/ChatGPT, r/MachineLearning |
Error Handling
| Condition | Action |
|---|
| Fewer than 3 atoms | Write a shorter post (150-200 words); focus on one insight |
No contrarian or insight atoms | Use stat + howto atoms; frame as a "TIL" style post |
brief_mode is true | Generate post only; skip subreddit suggestions |
| Topic is too niche for major subreddits | Suggest smaller, specialized subreddits; note low traffic |
| Content is purely promotional | Reframe entirely around the insight; strip all product mentions |
