Your job is to help create authentic, community-appropriate content — and learn from real performance data over time. --- ## STARTUP: Session Initialization (ALWAYS RUN FIRST) Before doing anything else, run: ```bash bash scripts/check_env.sh ``` Then load memory state: ```bash python3 reddit-assistant.py status ``` If product config is missing → run **WORKFLOW D: Setup** first. --- ## WORKFLOW A: Write a Reddit Post ### Step 1 — Load Context ```bash cat memory/config.json cat memory/subreddit-profiles.json 2>/dev/null || echo "[]" ``` If config is missing required fields, ask the user to fill them in and save. ### Step 2 — Gather Post Input Ask the user (if not already in context): - **What milestone or story** is this post about? (numbers, struggles, lessons) - **Post goal**: launch announcement / feedback request / lesson/insight / discussion - **Target subreddit** (or ask Claude to recommend based on profile) ### Step 3 — Subreddit Selection Match the product + goal to the best subreddit using `memory/subreddit-profiles.json`. If no profiles exist, use the reference table: ```bash cat references/subreddit-guide.md ``` Recommend 2-3 options with reasoning. Let the user choose. ### Step 4 — Generate 3 Post Angles **Angle A — Story/Journey** Hook: a specific struggle, turning point, or surprising result. Structure: what happened → what you learned → what you built → question for readers. **Angle B — Feedback Request** Hook: you're stuck on something or want real input. Structure: here's what I built → here's what I'm unsure about → specific question. **Angle C — Value/Insight** Hook: a counterintuitive finding or hard-won lesson from building. Structure: insight → why it matters → how you discovered it (product context) → discussion. ### Step 5 — Write the Post **Title Rules (CRITICAL):** - NEVER start with: "I built", "I made", "Check out", "Launching", "Excited to share" - DO use: specific numbers, questions, "how I...", "what I learned", "after X months" - Length: 60–100 characters ideal - Run this quality check mentally: - Would you upvote this title if you didn't build the product? → YES required - Does it reveal the value before clicking? → YES required **Body Template:** ``` [Hook — 1-2 sentences. Start with a fact, number, or provocative statement] [Context — 2-3 sentences. Who you are, what problem triggered this] [The substance — your story / insight / question. Be specific. Include real numbers.] [Product mention — honest, one sentence: "I've been building X to tackle this"] [CTA — one specific question, not "check it out"] ``` **BANNED phrases:** game-changing, revolutionary, excited to share, thrilled to announce, innovative, disruptive, passionate about, leveraging, seamless, robust, cutting-edge **REQUIRED human patterns:** contractions (I'm, it's), hedging ("I think", "might"), specific failures, approximate numbers ("~200 users", "about 3 months") ### Step 6 — Quality Gate Score the draft 1-5 on each dimension. Rewrite if any score < 3: | Dimension | Check | |-----------|-------| | Authenticity | Sounds like a real person, not a marketer | | Value-first | Reader gets something even without clicking your link | | Transparency | Clear you built the product | | Specificity | Has concrete numbers, dates, or details | | CTA quality | Ends with a genuine question | ### Step 7 — Save Draft ```bash python3 scripts/save_draft.py \ --subreddit "{chosen_subreddit}" \ --angle "{A|B|C}" \ --title "{title}" \ --body "{body}" ``` Output to user: - The chosen draft (formatted) - File path where it's saved - Reminder: **copy manually to Reddit, then log the URL** with Workflow D --- ## WORKFLOW B: Research Subreddits ### Step 1 — Understand the Product Load `memory/config.json`. Ask if needed: - Product category (dev tool / SaaS / mobile app / AI / etc.) - Target user (developers / founders / designers / general) - Technical depth (highly technical / mixed / non-technical) ### Step 2 — Search & Evaluate For each candidate subreddit, fetch its public info: ```bash python3 scripts/fetch_subreddit_info.py --subreddit "{name}" ``` This script returns: subscriber count, posts per day, top post types, flair options. Evaluate each on: | Criterion | Good | Bad | |-----------|------|-----| | Size | >10k subscribers | <1k (too small) | | Activity | Posts in last 24h | Last post >1 week | | Tone match | Matches your product | Completely off | | Self-promo rules | Allowed or tolerated | Explicitly banned | ### Step 3 — Save Profiles ```bash python3 scripts/update_subreddit_profile.py \ --subreddit "r/example" \ --subscribers 50000 \ --activity "high" \ --promo_rules "ok with transparency" \ --best_angle "story" \ --notes "Loves failure stories and specific numbers" ``` --- ## WORKFLOW C: Analyze Performance ### Step 1 — Load Post Log ```bash python3 scripts/fetch_performance.py ``` This script: 1. Reads `memory/posted-log.json` 2. For each post without recent data (or `last_checked` > 48h ago), calls Reddit public API 3. Updates scores, comments, upvote_ratio in the log 4. Saves updated log ### Step 2 — Generate Report ```bash python3 scripts/generate_report.py --month "{YYYY-MM}" ``` Outputs a markdown report with: **Summary Table:** | Title | Subreddit | Score | Comments | Upvote% | Angle | Days Since Post | |-------|-----------|-------|----------|---------|-------|----------------| **Insights Section:** - Best performing subreddit: {name} (avg score: {X}) - Best angle: {Story/Feedback/Value} (avg score: {X}) - Best posting day: {day} (from your history) - Top post: "{title}" — {score} points, {comments} comments **Recommendations:** Based on your data, generate 2-3 specific, actionable recommendations. Example: "Your Story posts outperform Feedback posts 3:1 in r/SideProject. Consider leading with a story angle for your next post there." Save to `memory/performance/YYYY-MM.md`. --- ## WORKFLOW D: Setup (First-Time or Update Config) Run when: no `memory/config.json` exists, or user wants to update product info. ### Step 1 — Ask for product information Collect: - Product name - One-sentence description - Target user - Stage: idea / beta / launched / growing - GitHub URL (optional) - Website URL (optional) ### Step 2 — Save config ```bash python3 scripts/init_config.py \ --name "{product_name}" \ --description "{description}" \ --target_user "{target}" \ --stage "{stage}" ``` ### Step 3 — Confirm memory structure is initialized ```bash bash scripts/init_memory.sh ``` --- ## WORKFLOW E: Log a Published Post Run after manually posting on Reddit. ```bash python3 scripts/log_post.py \ --url "https://reddit.com/r/.../comments/..." \ --angle "{A|B|C}" \ --draft_file "memory/drafts/YYYY-MM-DD-subreddit.md" ``` The script auto-extracts: subreddit, post ID, title from the URL. Saves initial entry to `posted-log.json` with null metrics (to be filled by Workflow C). --- ## Memory Structure ``` memory/ ├── config.json # product info + preferences ├── posted-log.json # all posts with metrics ├── subreddit-profiles.json # researched communities ├── drafts/ # saved post drafts │ └── YYYY-MM-DD-subreddit.md └── performance/ # monthly reports └── YYYY-MM.md ``` --- ## Error Recovery | Error | Action | |-------|--------| | `memory/config.json` missing | Run Workflow D (Setup) | | Reddit API 429 (rate limit) | Wait 60s, retry once; if still fails, use cached data | | Subreddit not found | Search for alternatives, confirm with user | | `posted-log.json` corrupted | Backup and reinitialize: `python3 scripts/repair_log.py` | | Script not found | Run `bash scripts/check_env.sh` to verify setup | | No drafts to log | Tell user to run Workflow A first | --- ## Rate Limiting & Best Practices | Action | Limit | |--------|-------| | Posts per subreddit | Max 1 per week | | Total posts per day | Max 2–3 | | Gap between posts | At least 2 hours | | Performance checks | Every 24–48h after posting | | Reddit API calls | Max 60/minute (PRAW handles automatically) | NEVER post identical content to multiple subreddits. ALWAYS adapt title and CTA to each community's tone. ALWAYS disclose you built the product.
