Reddit Automation
Find genuine Reddit opportunities and draft honest, helpful replies for your product
What You Can Do
Discover Reddit threads where people are genuinely shopping for what you sell, then draft replies that sound like a helpful community member (not an ad). The skill runs two moves: discovery scans target subreddits for recommendation asks, expressed pain, and competitor mentions, ranking threads by signal, product fit, and timing; drafting writes experience-based replies that respect community norms, disclose your affiliation honestly, and only mention your product when it truly answers the question.
Features
Scan target subreddits for recommendation asks, pain points, and competitor mentions where you can genuinely help
Evaluate threads by OP signal, product-fit alignment, and timing to surface the most promising opportunities
Write replies that read like a helpful peer sharing experience, not a sales pitch or FAQ
Built-in gates ensure you only name your product when it genuinely answers the ask, and always disclose your affiliation
Respects each community's self-promo rules and avoids threads where product mentions are banned
No sockpuppets, vote manipulation, or astroturfing; one real account, honest participation only
All draft replies are presented for your review and editing before any posting
Example Output
Finding top opportunities for a design tool:
Find Reddit opportunities for my design software this week
Claude scans r/web_design, r/ux, r/startups, and r/webdev for threads about design tool frustrations, workflow questions, and pricing complaints. It ranks the top 3 by signal, product fit, and recency, showing you exactly why each thread is a fit (for example, "OP is frustrated with Figma pricing and looking for cheaper alternatives that solve their problem").
Drafting a reply about your product:
Someone on r/startups is asking about design collaboration tools. Help me draft a response.
Claude writes a 2-3 sentence reply that reads like real experience: "I had the exact same Figma cost issue. What worked for my team was switching to [Your Tool] last quarter. The offline editing and lower per-seat pricing solved our workflow bottleneck. Full disclosure, I work on [Your Tool], so I'm biased, but the shift made a real difference." The reply sounds like peer experience, discloses affiliation since your product genuinely answers the ask, and respects the subreddit's norms.
Finding competitor mentions to reply to:
Find threads in r/sales complaining about HubSpot for my CRM
Claude identifies threads where people express specific frustrations ("integrations are a nightmare", "reporting is hard to customize") and drafts replies reacting to their real pain. If your product doesn't genuinely solve it, Claude skips the pitch and offers helpful perspective. If it does, Claude includes honest disclosure in the same breath as naming it.
