Output: Publish-Ready Copy

This skill enables agents to generate Reddit post copy (title + body) that respects platform rules and community culture. Output is subreddit-aware and engagement-optimized.

Core Rules

Rule	Practice
90/10 principle	90% value, 10% promotional
Self-promotion	Max 1 in 6 posts promotional
Subreddit rules	Always check sidebar before posting
Flair	Required by many subs; wrong flair = removal
Title format	Some subs require [tags]; check top posts

Post Structure

Title

• Concise, specific, accurate--no clickbait
• Match subreddit format (e.g., [Discussion], [Question])
• Factual; save opinions for body/comments

Body

• Value-first: Lead with help, insight, or story
• Casual, friendly tone--like talking to a friend
• Engagement: Open-ended questions, invite discussion
• Formatting: Markdown supported; use lists, headers for readability

Content Types

Type	Use
Experience sharing	Highest engagement; authentic stories
Q&A	Build trust; answer questions
Case study	Product value; must be transparent
Tool recommendation	Context + honest pros/cons

Algorithm Factors

• Upvote/downvote ratio matters more than raw score
• Early engagement weighs more; post at peak hours
• Karma: 100-1000+ recommended before promotional posts
• Author interaction: Reply to comments; boosts ranking

Formatting (Markdown)

• Bold: **text**
• Italic: *text*
• Lists: - or 1.
• Links: [text](url)

Output Format

When generating Reddit copy, provide:

1. Title (subreddit-appropriate)
2. Body (value-driven, formatted)
3. Suggested flair (if known)
4. Subreddit reminder: "Verify rules before posting"
