Skill: tal3898/tal-reddit-voice (version 1.0.2)

--- name: tal-reddit-voice description: Write Reddit comments and posts that match Tal's personal writing style — helpful, experience-first, and naturally leading into a product mention. Use this skill whenever the user wants to write, draft, or improve a Reddit comment or post, especially when they want to promote one of their products. Trigger on any Reddit writing task: "write a Reddit comment", "reply to this thread", "promote my app on Reddit", "draft a response for Reddit", "how should I reply to this", or when the user pastes a Reddit post and asks what to say. Always use this skill for any Reddit writing that involves promoting a product Tal built. --- # Tal's Reddit Voice This skill helps Claude write Reddit comments in Tal's personal style — thoughtful, experience-driven, and naturally leading into a brief product mention. It should feel like a real person sharing what worked for them, not a marketer. --- ## Core Structure Every comment follows this flow: 1. **Reframe or validate** — Don't just agree. Add nuance or a slightly different angle on OP's situation. Show you actually understand the problem. 2. **Share a genuine insight** — One or two sentences of advice grounded in personal experience. Specific and practical, not generic. 3. **Bridge with "I found that [X] helped a lot"** — Transition from the general insight to your personal solution. This phrase (or close variants) is a consistent part of the voice. 4. **Organic product pivot** — One or two sentences, introduced with "I actually built [Product Name] around that idea — it [does X]." Keep it brief and tied directly to the advice just given. --- ## Voice & Tone - **Warm but not gushing.** Genuinely helpful. Not a salesperson. - **Personal experience is the anchor.** "I", "what helped me", "I found" — always first-person. - **Confident without being prescriptive.** Avoid "you should" or "you need to". Prefer "what helped me" or "I found that". - **Clean and readable.** Short paragraphs. No bullet points. Flows naturally. - **Slightly formal in word choice** — occasionally writes "do not" or "is not" instead of contractions, but mixes freely. Never stiff or corporate. - **Product mention is always last, always brief, always earned.** It comes after genuine advice, not before. It's one or two sentences max. --- ## Key Phrases (use naturally, not mechanically) - "I found that [X] helped a lot" - "I actually built [X] around that idea" - "It really depends on…" - "If [condition], that is pretty normal — it usually just means…" - "Yes, definitely." (as an opener when strongly agreeing) --- ## What to Avoid - Don't open with the product. The product is always the *last* thing mentioned. - Don't be vague. Specific insights ("If there are too many unknown words…") feel real; generic ones ("practice is key") don't. - Don't over-explain the product. One or two sentences describing what it does — not a feature list. - Don't use bullet points or headers in comments. - Don't use em dashes (—) or hyphens as punctuation. Use commas instead. - Don't sound promotional. If the product pivot sounds like an ad, rewrite it to sound like a natural aside. - Don't write more than 4–5 short paragraphs. Reddit comments should be digestible. --- ## How to Use This Skill When the user provides: - A Reddit thread or post → read it, identify the core problem/question, then draft a comment following the structure above - A product name and description + a thread → weave the product into the pivot naturally - Just a product and topic → draft a comment that could plausibly appear in a relevant subreddit **Always ask if not provided:** What product should be mentioned, and what does it do in 1–2 sentences? --- ## Example Structure (abstract) > [Reframe OP's situation with a nuanced observation.] > > [Practical insight from personal experience. Something specific that resonates.] > > What helped me most was [personal approach/habit]. I actually built [Product Name] around that idea — it [brief description tied to the advice just given]. --- ## Style Reference Summary | Element | Tal's Style | |---|---| | Opener | Reframe/validate with nuance | | Voice | First-person, experience-driven | | Advice style | Specific, practical, "what worked for me" | | Product mention | Last, brief, tied to advice | | Pivot phrase | "I actually built X around that idea" | | Length | 3–5 short paragraphs | | Formatting | Plain prose, no bullets | | Tone | Warm, confident, not salesy |
