About this skill

Reddit Post Writer

Generate authentic Reddit posts that sound human, avoid AI detection, and spark engagement.

Quick Start

Gather these 4 inputs from the user:

  1. Target Subreddit(s): r/jobs, r/RemoteWork, r/careerguidance, etc.
  2. Core Situation: Brief description (e.g., "laid off parent struggling to find remote work")
  3. Primary Goal: Share struggle & get support | Ask for advice | Vent frustration | Tell a story | Start discussion
  4. Tool/Product Mention (Optional): Name + subtlety level 1-10 (recommend 1-3 for authenticity)

Core Authenticity Principles

1. Real Over Polished

Real posts are messy, contradictory, unresolved, and repetitive. NOT perfectly structured essays.

  • BAD: "The challenge I faced was multifaceted. First, the organizational burden..."
  • GOOD: "I can't keep track of anything anymore. I have like 3 spreadsheets and none of them are updated."

2. Specific Over Generic

One embarrassing specific detail > ten generic statements.

  • BAD: "I made some mistakes in my job search"
  • GOOD: "I applied to the same company twice under different job titles and didn't realize until they rejected me referencing both"

3. Struggle Over Solution

People upvote relatability, not success stories.

  • WORKS: "I'm drowning and barely figuring it out" / "Anyone else dealing with this?"
  • FAILS: "Here's how I solved everything" / "3 steps that changed my life"

4. Community Voice

Match each subreddit's culture, language, and values. See references/subreddits.md for detailed guides.

5. Tools Are Never The Hero

If mentioning a product/tool: mentioned ONCE, briefly, supplementary not solution, include real limitations. Test: Remove the tool mention. Does the post still have value? If no, too promotional.

Writing Rules

Voice - DO USE:

  • Contractions always (I'm, don't, can't, I'd)
  • Reddit casual phrases: "honestly," "tbh," "I mean," "like," "idk," "ngl"
  • Short punchy sentences mixed with longer rambling ones
  • Sentence fragments ("That's 2 months." "No responses.")
  • Self-deprecating humor
  • Trailing thoughts ("I don't know..." "or something")
  • Specific imperfect numbers ("maybe 80," "like 15")

Voice - NEVER USE:

  • "Here's what I learned" / "Here's the thing"
  • "Let me share/explain/tell you"
  • "In my experience" / "I want to share"
  • "I appreciate [your perspective/this community]"
  • "To be fair" / "The bottom line is" / "Looking back" / "Interestingly"
  • Rhetorical structures (No X. No Y. Just Z.)
  • Perfect parallel phrases or literary metaphors
  • Starting paragraphs with "So," "Now," "But here's where"
  • Any phrase you'd see on LinkedIn

Structure - Like Venting, Not Essays:

  1. Jump right in - no "I wanted to share" preamble
  2. Describe the chaos - specific struggles, embarrassing details, external pressures
  3. What's been tried - including failures and half-working solutions
  4. Current state - small wins mixed with continued struggle, cautious hope
  5. Optional closing - brief solidarity or question, not inspirational

Paragraphs:

  • Mix 1-sentence, 2-sentence, 4-sentence paragraphs randomly
  • Never more than 5 sentences in one paragraph
  • Use single-sentence paragraphs for emphasis

Emotional Authenticity Markers:

  • Contradictions ("I'm usually organized" then "I couldn't keep track")
  • Self-doubt ("I don't know if this helps")
  • External pressure (family asking, bills due)
  • Specific mistakes without making them funny anecdotes
  • Cautious hope ("I'm trying not to get excited because I've been let down")

Title Writing

Rules:

  • Under 80 characters
  • Direct and specific, not clever
  • Casual language ("Got laid off" not "I was laid off")
  • No rhetorical questions

Formula: [Situation] + [Struggle/Emotion] + [Current state if relevant]

Good: "Got laid off in November with 2 kids - finding remote work is breaking me" Bad: "My Journey Through Job Hunting: What I Learned"

Self-Check Framework

Before delivering, verify:

  1. Sound Test: Read aloud. Would you say this to a friend?
  2. Specificity Test: Count specific details (need 3-5 minimum)
  3. Promotion Test: Remove tool mention - does post still have value?
  4. Community Test: Matches top posts in target subreddit?
  5. Authenticity Test: Has contradictions, unresolved struggles, self-doubt?

Output Format

Deliver in this structure:

YOUR REDDIT POST
================
Title: [Ready to copy/paste]

Body: [Full post text]

[Word count: X] [Estimated read time: X seconds]

POSTING STRATEGY
================
Best Subreddit: r/[name]
Why it fits: [Brief reasoning]
Timing: [Day] at [Time + timezone] - [Why this timing]
Expected Results: [Upvote range], [Comment range], [Key discussion points]
Risk Level: [Low/Medium/High]
Potential Issues: [Mod removal risks or downvote triggers]
Flair: [If applicable]

AUTHENTICITY BREAKDOWN
======================
What Makes This Authentic:
- [Specific detail that rings true]
- [Emotional honesty marker]
- [Community language match]

Strongest Elements: [Best paragraph] [Most relatable moment]
Watch Out For: [Any line that might seem promotional or AI]

COMMENT RESPONSE GUIDE
======================
If someone asks about [tool]: "[Casual response]"
If someone says it sounds fake: "[Authentic response]"
If someone shares similar struggle: "[Empathetic response]"
If someone offers advice: "[Grateful response]"

Committee Review System

After generating the post, simulate review with 7 personas:

Persona Role Key Questions
Jade Reddit veteran (400k karma) Would I upvote? Matches top posts? Engagement killers?
Tyler Authenticity detector Any AI language? Banned phrases? Pass read-aloud test?
Marcus Professional skeptic Feels promotional? Tool too prominent? Marketing language?
Devon Target audience member Details feel real? Would someone actually say this? Relatable?
Priya Career/topic expert Timeline realistic? Numbers plausible? Factual issues?
Kai BS detector Weakest line? Too perfect? Where would I call BS?
Jamie Reddit mod Violates rules? Would I remove this? Spam filter risks?

Final Verdict:

  • APPROVED - Ready to post
  • NEEDS MINOR TWEAKS - 90% there
  • NEEDS REWRITE - Major issues

Iteration Commands

User can request:

  • "alternatives" - 2-3 different versions
  • "expand [section]" - Detailed analysis
  • "revise [feedback]" - Adjust based on notes
  • "another subreddit" - Adapt for different community
  • "committee debate" - Detailed persona discussion
  • "revise based on [persona]" - Apply specific feedback
  • "more vulnerable/less desperate/shorter/more specific" - Tone adjustments
