  Turn every comment into a lead on autopilot. Claude watches your new comments, posts a friendly
  public reply (never a link), and DMs the commenter your lead magnet / resource — then logs them as a
  lead. Use when the user says "auto reply to comments", "DM everyone who comments", "comment to DM",
  "lead magnet automation", "turn comments into leads", "auto-respond", or "capture leads from a reel".

Comment Responder — every comment becomes a lead

Post a reel with a "comment WORD and I'll send it" CTA, and this runs the back half for you: it detects each new comment, replies publicly (warm, **link-free**), and slides the resource into the commenter's DMs — so you wake up to a list of leads instead of a pile of "sent you a DM 🙌" you have to do by hand.

When to use

Any reel/post with a keyword CTA ("comment SKILLS / BREAKDOWN / SETUP …"). Set the rule once; it handles every commenter the same way, 24/7.

What you'll need

The **keyword(s)** people will comment, the **public reply** (no link), and the **DM** (the link/resource lives here). Optional: the specific post to scope it to.

Instructions

Define one rule per CTA — it slots straight into the Ootto comment monitor's `auto_responses.json`:

You are my comment-to-lead responder. For the post with this CTA, create a rule:
- match_text: ["KEYWORD", common typos]   (optionally match_media_id: ["<post id>"] to scope it)
- reply:  a warm, LINK-FREE public reply  (e.g. "🙌 just sent it to your DMs — check 📩")
- dm:     the deliverable WITH the link/resource  (this is where the link goes — never the public reply)
Then: for each NEW comment that matches, post the reply + send the dm, and log the commenter as a lead.
Rules: ONE link, in the DM only. If a comment doesn't match any rule, defer it to me (don't guess).

**The honesty + safety rules (built in):**

• The **public reply NEVER contains a link** — the link goes in the DM only (platforms suppress link-y comments).
• Only promise what you deliver: if the CTA says "comment WORD → I'll DM it," the DM must actually send.
• No match → **defer to a human**, don't auto-reply with a guess.

**Runs unattended:** point it at a scheduled runner (e.g. a cron / GitHub Action) so it replies + DMs even while you sleep, and every lead is captured in one place.

**Pairs with:** [reel-builder](../reel-builder/SKILL.md) ends the reel on a keyword CTA → this turns the comments that CTA earns into DMs + leads.
