Reddit Organic Warmup

Use this skill for organic Reddit participation built around real, non-promotional content. The goal is steady account activity and community fit, not selling.

Inputs

• A photo, video, anecdote, or topic
• Target subreddit, if available
• Prior account tone or example comments, if available
• Goal: warmup, karma, lightweight community presence, or testing content fit

Workflow

1. Check subreddit fit
   • Read visible rules before drafting.
   • Prefer communities where casual posts and everyday observations are normal.
   • Avoid promotional, controversial, medical, legal, financial, or identity-sensitive framing unless the user provides context and asks for it.
2. Choose the post angle
   • Use one simple observation from the media or story.
   • Do not invent a backstory.
   • Do not force a joke.
   • Keep titles short and native to the subreddit.
3. Draft variants
   • Create 5 title options.
   • Create 3 optional first-comment options.
   • Create 5 lightweight reply options for likely comments.
4. Risk check
   • Remove anything that sounds like engagement bait, brand promotion, AI filler, or karma farming.
   • Do not include links, product mentions, business names, or calls to action.
   • If the subreddit rules are unclear, output drafts only and ask for review before posting.
5. Posting boundary
   • Do not post automatically unless the user explicitly asks and the authenticated browser/account context is available.
   • Keep a human approval step before final submit.

Style Rules

Reddit runs an AI-content filter that rejects text that reads as machine-written, separate from any human moderator judgment call. Passing it is a floor, not a quality bar by itself, but failing it means the post never goes up at all. Check every draft against this before handing it back:

• Lowercase sentence starts are fine and common; don't force capitalization everywhere.
• Drop apostrophes in common contractions (dont, isnt, youre) unless the sentence is meant to read more formal. Keep apostrophes that mark possession (company's).
• No em dashes. Use a comma, a period, or a single hyphen if a visual pause is really needed.
• No "not X, it's Y" or "it's not just about X, it's Y" constructions, and no tailing negations like "no guessing" tacked onto the end of a sentence. Say the thing plainly instead.
• No forced three-item lists (three parallel clauses, three bullets that all sound the same shape). Real speech clusters into twos or fours, or just runs on.
• One or two casual filler words per 100-150 words is normal (honestly, tbh, kind of, ngl). Every sentence having one is a tell in the other direction.
• Every longer comment needs at least one concrete, specific detail, a number, a name, a moment, not an abstract summary of a category of experience.
• Sentence-fragment endings are fine and human (the second one's kind of rough. but probably the right call.). AI text almost never does this.
• Don't wrap up with a summary, a moral, or "hope this helps." Real comments often just stop.
• Keep real jargon from the poster's world if it fits (specific tool names, specific metrics), but don't follow it with a definition, a person who knows the term doesn't need it explained back to them.
• Vary sentence length inside a comment: one longer sentence, a couple of medium ones, something short. Uniform sentence length reads as generated even when every individual sentence is fine.

Before handing a draft back, run it through this checklist. Score below 7 of 9, tighten it again:

• at least one sentence starts lowercase
• at least two contractions dropped their apostrophe
• zero em dashes
• no "not X, it's Y" construction anywhere
• no forced three-item list
• at least one concrete detail (person, number, specific moment)
• at least one sentence fragment or open-ended stop
• sentence lengths visibly vary, not uniform
• kept real jargon without re-explaining it

For actual community posts (not karma-warmup filler), 60-100 words usually reads more human than a long, complete-feeling comment. A real person replying on their phone doesn't write 300 well-organized words.
