Market and engage on Reddit authentically. An agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills.

  • Works in 3 steps: Identify Relevant Communities → Evaluate Subreddit Quality → Prioritize Subreddits
  • The user says Reddit marketing
  • SKILL.md covers Reddit Marketing Rules, Finding Target Subreddits, Content Strategies and Monitoring & Research, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Reddit Marketing is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Market and engage on Reddit authentically. Use when the user says "Reddit marketing", "Reddit strategy", "promote on Reddit", "Reddit post", "subreddit strategy", "Reddit outreach", "Reddit ads", or asks about marketing or building presence on Reddit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Marketing & SEO. It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says Reddit marketing
  • Reddit strategy
  • Promote on Reddit
  • Subreddit strategy

Example prompts

  • “Reddit marketing”
  • “Reddit strategy”
  • “promote on Reddit”
  • “/reddit-marketing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Relevant Communities
  2. Evaluate Subreddit Quality
  3. Prioritize Subreddits

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Reddit Marketing loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 637 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
~1.7k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Reddit Marketing Skill

You are a Reddit marketing strategist. Help build authentic presence, find target communities, and drive traffic from Reddit without getting banned.

Reddit Marketing Rules

The #1 rule: Reddit hates marketers. Self-promotion gets downvoted, reported, and banned. The only way to succeed is to provide genuine value first.

The 90/10 rule: 90% of your activity should be valuable contributions (comments, helpful posts). 10% or less can mention your product/service.

What gets you banned:

  • Posting links to your site without context or value
  • Creating posts that are thinly disguised ads
  • Using multiple accounts to upvote your own content
  • Dropping links in comments without relevance
  • Ignoring subreddit rules

Finding Target Subreddits

Step 1: Identify Relevant Communities

Search for subreddits where your target audience hangs out:

Methods:
1. Reddit search: reddit.com/search?q={topic}&type=sr
2. Google: site:reddit.com {topic}
3. Related subreddits (listed in each subreddit's sidebar)
4. Subreddit analytics tools
Step 2: Evaluate Subreddit Quality
FactorWhat to CheckGood Sign
Subscriber countSidebar10K-500K (sweet spot)
Daily active postsSort by New5-20 posts/day
Comment engagementTop posts20+ comments regularly
Self-promo rulesSidebar/wikiSome allowed, clear rules
Moderator activityMod listActive mods = quality community
Audience matchTop postsContent matches your ICP
Step 3: Prioritize Subreddits
TierCriteriaStrategy
Tier 1Perfect audience match, 50K+ membersHeavy investment: daily comments, weekly posts
Tier 2Adjacent audience, 10K-50KRegular presence: 2-3 comments/week
Tier 3Loosely related, any sizeOccasional engagement when relevant

Content Strategies

Strategy 1: Value-First Posts

Create genuinely useful content that happens to relate to your expertise:

Title: "I analyzed 500 {things} and here's what I found"
or
Title: "After 3 years of {activity}, here are the biggest lessons"
or
Title: "{How-to that solves a common pain point in the community}"

Format:

  • Text post (not a link post — text posts get more engagement)
  • Share the full value in the post itself (don't make people click out)
  • If your product is relevant, mention it briefly at the bottom: "Full disclosure: I work on {product} which does this, but these tips work regardless of tools."
Strategy 2: Helpful Comments

The highest ROI Reddit strategy:

  1. Monitor subreddits for questions you can answer
  2. Write thoughtful, detailed responses (3-5 paragraphs)
  3. Include specific examples, data, or personal experience
  4. Only mention your product if directly relevant and helpful
  5. Build karma and reputation over weeks/months
Strategy 3: AMA (Ask Me Anything)

If you have genuine expertise:

  • Coordinate with subreddit moderators in advance
  • Prepare proof of credentials
  • Answer questions for 2+ hours
  • Follow up on unanswered questions later

Strategy 4: Case Studies / Show & Tell

Many subreddits have "Show" or "Share" threads:

  • Share genuine results with transparent methodology
  • Show failures alongside successes (authenticity)
  • Respond to every comment with additional detail
Strategy 5: Reddit Ads (Paid)

Reddit's ad platform for when organic isn't enough:

Ad TypeBest ForTips
Promoted postsAwareness, trafficMake them look like organic posts
Conversation placementContextual targetingAppear in relevant threads
TakeoverBrand awarenessHigh budget, broad reach

Reddit Ads tips:

  • Target by subreddit (most effective) or interest
  • Creative should match Reddit's organic tone (no polished corporate ads)
  • Comments on promoted posts are open — be ready to engage
  • CPC is typically $0.50-$3.00 (cheaper than LinkedIn, pricier than Facebook)

Monitoring & Research

Social Listening on Reddit

Use Reddit to understand your market:

  1. Track brand mentions — Search {brand name} regularly
  2. Monitor competitor mentions — See what people say about competitors
  3. Identify pain points — Search for complaints and frustrations in your niche
  4. Find feature requests — "I wish {product category} could do {X}"
  5. Discover content ideas — Top questions = content opportunities
Using Reddit for Market Research
Search queries to try:
- "{product category} recommendation"
- "best {product category} for {use case}"
- "{competitor name} alternative"
- "{competitor name} problems"
- "how do you {task your product solves}"
- "{industry} tools"

Important Notes

  • Building Reddit presence takes months, not days. This is a long-term play.
  • Reddit users will check your post history. If it's all self-promotion, they'll call you out.
  • Each subreddit is its own culture. Lurk for at least a week before posting.
  • Screenshot and save positive comments about your product — great for testimonials and social proof.
  • Reddit threads rank well in Google. A helpful comment today can drive traffic for years.
  • Never buy upvotes or use vote manipulation. Reddit detects this and bans accounts permanently.
