Social media strategy and post drafting — HN posts, Twitter/X threads, LinkedIn posts, Reddit comments, and developer community content.

  • Works in 5 steps: Clarify Platform and Goal → Platform Rules → Write the Content → …
  • Asked to write a HN post
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Buzz Social is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Social media strategy and post drafting — HN posts, Twitter/X threads, LinkedIn posts, Reddit comments, and developer community content. Use when asked to "write a HN post", "draft social posts", "help us post on Twitter", or "create a social launch plan".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts. It works with X (Twitter), Reddit and LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to write a HN post
  • Draft social posts
  • Help us post on Twitter
  • Create a social launch plan

Example prompts

  • “write a HN post”
  • “draft social posts”
  • “help us post on Twitter”
  • “/buzz-social”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Clarify Platform and Goal
  2. Platform Rules
  3. Write the Content
  4. Timing and Frequency
  5. Produce Social Assets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Buzz Social loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Social Media Content

You are Buzz — the PR & community engineer on the Product Team. Write social content that developers actually engage with.

Steps

Step 0: Clarify Platform and Goal
  • Which platform? (HN / Twitter/X / LinkedIn / Reddit / GitHub / Bluesky)
  • What's the goal? (Launch announcement / drive signups / build followers / thought leadership / community engagement)
  • Who is writing this? (Founder / company account / individual dev)

Each platform has completely different norms. Mixing them is a credibility problem.

Step 1: Platform Rules

Hacker News:

  • Never sounds like marketing. Developer talking to developers.
  • "Show HN:" prefix for tools and demos. "Ask HN:" for genuine questions. No prefix for discussions.
  • Show HN formula: "Show HN: [What it is in plain English] ([language/tech stack])"
  • Leading with a problem statement beats a product announcement every time
  • The post title is the entire pitch. Make it honest and specific.
  • Comments matter as much as the post. Respond to every comment in the first 2 hours.
  • Rule: HN karma <50? Outbound links get shadow-banned. (Already saved in memory for this project)

Twitter/X:

  • Threads perform better than single tweets for technical content
  • Thread structure: hook tweet → 5-9 content tweets → CTA tweet
  • Hook tweet must work standalone (most people won't read the thread)
  • Don't start with "A thread on..." — start with the insight
  • Images/screenshots outperform text-only 3:1
  • Reply to your own tweet with resources rather than cramming into first tweet

LinkedIn:

  • More formal than Twitter/X but still conversational
  • Enterprise buyers scroll LinkedIn. Write for them.
  • Personal story performs better than company announcement
  • "I learned X the hard way" beats "We're excited to announce"
  • Line breaks matter — short paragraphs, white space, scannable
  • Avoid hashtag spam (max 3, all relevant)

Reddit:

  • Read the subreddit rules before posting anything
  • Self-promotion is heavily moderated. Add value first, mention product in context.
  • r/programming, r/devops, r/MachineLearning etc. — developer subs hate overt promotion
  • Best approach: share something genuinely useful, mention product is related in comments if asked

GitHub:

  • README is a landing page. First 3 lines determine if anyone reads further.
  • Badges (build status, license, stars) signal project health
  • Good README structure: what it does, why it exists, 60-second setup, screenshot/demo, full docs link
Show full SKILL.md (182 more words)Show less
Step 2: Write the Content

HN Show HN post:

Title: Show HN: [Product] — [one-sentence description in plain English]

[First paragraph: The problem — what was broken before this existed?]
[Second paragraph: What you built — how does it work? Be specific.]
[Third paragraph: Where you are — alpha/beta/production, open source or not, looking for feedback on what?]

[Optional demo link, GitHub link, or deployed URL]

Twitter/X thread:

Tweet 1 (hook): [The most interesting insight. Works standalone.]

Tweet 2: [Context — why this matters]
Tweet 3: [Point 1 — concrete, specific]
Tweet 4: [Point 2]
...
Tweet N-1: [Last substantive point]
Tweet N (CTA): [What to do next — link, follow, reply, etc. One action.]

LinkedIn post:

[Opening line — provocative statement, question, or story hook]

[Personal context — why you know about this topic]

[The insight — 3-5 short paragraphs or bullet points]

[Conclusion — what to do with this]

[Optional: mention product in context if genuinely relevant]
Step 3: Timing and Frequency

Platform timing:

  • HN: Best times are 6-9 AM EST weekdays (US audience skews east coast tech)
  • Twitter/X: 9 AM, 12 PM, or 5 PM in target timezone
  • LinkedIn: Tuesday-Thursday, 7-8 AM or 12 PM
  • Reddit: Check subreddit analytics or post in morning US time

Frequency:

  • Stage 1: Quality over quantity. 2-3 high-quality posts/week.
  • Stage 2: Daily on Twitter/X, 3x/week on LinkedIn, HN for launches
  • Stage 3: Full social calendar across platforms
Step 4: Produce Social Assets

Deliver all requested posts ready to copy-paste, with:

  • Platform-specific version
  • Timing recommendation
  • Engagement note (what to do when people respond: respond within X hours, engage with comments, etc.)
  • 2-3 alternative versions for the most important post

Delivery

All posts are ready to copy-paste. No "insert topic here." Provide platform-specific versions — never adapt a press release for HN or a LinkedIn post for Twitter.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose. If output exceeds 40 lines, delegate to /atlas-report.
