Contributor maxxing: finding talented builders through what they share

This is the log play reddit/contributorMaxxing. Before anything else, call the log MCP tool getGuide({ useCase: "reddit/contributorMaxxing" }): it returns this page and makes it the session's play, so every log tool's answer says which step you are on and a send with no play loaded is refused (rules 157, 158). Then follow the steps in order.

Draft every message from that person's own thread and matt's real replies (voice with no text, search), never from memory, and never send two that read alike (sameAsSent).

Find talented people who are into the same things as the owner, through the GitHub repos they post on Reddit. Read a subreddit's last few days through the owner's Reddit account, keep the posts that link to GitHub, and rank them. It reads only. It posts, votes and messages nothing.

How the owner asks for it: "contributormaxxing", "find talented people who are out there who are interested in the same things that we're interested in", "use our reddit to load up gotomarketengineering", "find people who are posting on github inside of that subreddit", "find me all of the best githubs that have been posted in the past 7 days"

Run it from a fresh context

Say: "go on docs/useCases/reddit/contributorMaxxing.md for r/<subreddit>". The agent reads this page and runs the steps.

The steps

What the runs taught

• r/gtmengineering is the GTM engineering subreddit (found 2026-11-08 by TinyFish search). r/GTMbuilders ("GitHub commits over slide decks") sits next to it.
• Reddit's whoami can pass while its token step fails. On 2026-11-08 /api/me.json answered for the account, then loading reddit.com gave no token_v2, then the engine's connection was reset twice while plain HTTPS to Reddit still worked. That is a refusal: stop, tell the owner, and don't read again until he says so.
