Reddit Discussion Post Generator

Produce a subreddit-ready discussion post and 2-3 targeted subreddit suggestions from the content atoms provided by the orchestrator.

Inputs

Received from the parent agent (`repurpose-longform`):

| Input | Description | |-------|-------------| | `atoms` | Full list of content atoms with types and impact ratings | | `main_argument` | One-sentence thesis of the source content | | `target_audience` | Who benefits from this content | | `primary_topic` | Category or niche | | `voice_profile` | Detected or overridden brand voice | | `brief_mode` | If true, produce post only (skip subreddit analysis) |

Core Principle: The 10% Self-Promotion Rule

Reddit communities enforce a rough 90/10 rule: 90% of your posts should be genuine contributions, 10% can reference your own work.

**What this means for output:**

• Position the author as a **contributor**, never a marketer
• The post must deliver standalone value -- a reader who never clicks a link

should still learn something

• Any link to the original content goes at the **bottom**, framed naturally
• Never use phrases like "check out my blog" or "I wrote an article about this"
• Instead: "I put together a longer breakdown here if anyone wants the details: [link]"

Output 1: Discussion Post

**File:** `reddit/post.md`

Title

• **Max 300 characters** (Reddit's limit)
• Frame as a **question** or **observation** -- never as an announcement
• Good: "After analyzing 50 newsletters, here's what actually drives opens"
• Good: "Has anyone else noticed [specific trend] in [topic]?"
• Bad: "My guide to newsletter marketing"
• Bad: "Check out my latest blog post on [topic]"

**Title formulas (pick the best fit):**

| Formula | When to Use | |---------|-------------| | "After [doing X], here's what I found" | When content has original data or experience | | "Has anyone else noticed [observation]?" | When content identifies a trend | | "[Topic] question: [specific question]" | When content answers a non-obvious question | | "I [did X] and the results surprised me" | When content has a contrarian or unexpected finding | | "[Number] things I learned about [topic]" | When content has clear, numbered takeaways |

Post Body

**Length:** 200-500 words. Reddit penalizes both too-short and wall-of-text posts.

**Format:** Reddit markdown.

**Structure:**

1. **Context/Observation** (2-3 sentences) Open with a relatable situation or observation. Establish credibility through specificity, not credentials. "I've been doing X for Y months" not "As a certified expert in X."

2. **Key Insight** (1-2 paragraphs) The meatiest atom from the content. Present it as a discovery or realization, not a teaching moment. Use evidence: numbers, examples, comparisons.

3. **Supporting Points** (bulleted, 3-5 items) Pull from the strongest atoms. Each bullet should be one clear thought. Use Reddit markdown formatting:

   - **Bold the key phrase** then explain briefly
   - **Another point** with supporting detail

4. **Open Question** (1-2 sentences) End with a genuine question that invites debate. NOT "What do you think?" (too generic). Instead, ask something specific that people can disagree on.

5. **Optional Link** (1 sentence, at the very bottom) Only if the original content adds substantial value beyond the post. Frame: "Full breakdown with [specific extra detail] here: [link]" Separate from the discussion prompt with a line break.

Tone Rules

| Do | Do NOT | |----|--------| | Use "I" and "we" | Use "you should" or "you need to" | | Share evidence and specifics | Make unsubstantiated claims | | Acknowledge uncertainty ("in my experience") | Speak in absolutes | | Use casual language and contractions | Use marketing jargon | | Ask genuine questions | Ask rhetorical questions | | Credit sources | Claim everything as original | | Use `**bold**` for emphasis | Use ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation | | Include line breaks between paragraphs | Write wall-of-text blocks |

Reddit Formatting Reference

**bold text**
*italic text*
- bullet point
1. numbered list
> blockquote
`inline code`
[link text](url)

Two line breaks = new paragraph

Output 2: Subreddit Suggestions

**File:** `reddit/subreddits.md`

Analyze the content topic and suggest 2-3 relevant subreddits.

**For each subreddit, provide:**

| Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | Subreddit | r/SubredditName | | Relevance | Why this content fits (1 sentence) | | Size | Approximate subscriber count tier (small <50k, medium 50-500k, large 500k+) | | Culture | Brief description of posting norms and community expectations | | Flair | Suggest applicable post flair if the subreddit uses them | | Rules to Watch | 1-2 specific rules that could affect this post | | Adaptation Notes | Any changes needed to the post body for this specific subreddit |

**Subreddit selection criteria:** 1. **Topic match** -- the subreddit actively discusses this subject 2. **Size sweet spot** -- medium subreddits (50k-500k) often have the best engagement 3. **Self-promotion tolerance** -- some subreddits ban all external links; note this 4. **Post type fit** -- discussion-oriented subreddits over link-dump subreddits

**Common subreddit categories by content type:**

| Content Topic | Likely Subreddits | |---------------|-------------------| | Marketing | r/marketing, r/digital_marketing,
