What it does

Reddit Engage is an agent skill from shawnla90/gtm-coding-agent. Draft and approve Reddit comments from scouted opportunities with a hard human-in-the-loop gate. Reads an opportunity queue (a Clearbox inbox export or your own scout output), drafts voice-matched comments that add real value, and collects approve/edit/reject decisions one by one. Nothing posts without explicit approval. Use when the user types "/reddit-engage" or says "draft Reddit replies", "engage on Reddit".

Its SKILL.md is about 790 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 Agent Workflows, covering Human-in-the-loop approvals and Email management. It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: Build your go-to-market engine with coding agents instead of a $2K/mo tool stack. 21 chapters, nine forkable starters, four installable skills, GTM-OS skeleton, and Python… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user types /reddit-engage
  • Says draft Reddit replies
  • Engage on Reddit

Example prompts

  • “/reddit-engage”
  • “draft Reddit replies”
  • “engage on Reddit”
  • “/reddit-engage”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Load the queue and show the counts by status.
  2. Present each opportunity: subreddit, title, score, why it matched, URL.
  3. Draft a comment per item. Read the post first. The reply must add genuine value on its own: a tip, a "here's what worked for me", a…
  4. Collect decisions one at a time: approve / edit (user supplies the text) / reject (record the reason). Save the queue after every…
  5. Summarize: approved / rejected / skipped, and what happens next.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 072c185. 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.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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 Engage loads about 794 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 107 tokens; SKILL.md has 386 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~107
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~794

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.

version
1.0.0

reddit-engage

Draft voice-matched Reddit comments from scouted opportunities, get approval, then (and only then) post.

The queue

Input is a queue of scouted opportunities — a Clearbox opportunity inbox export, or the output of your own scout script. Each item carries: subreddit, post title, URL, why it surfaced, and a score. Track status per item: scouted → drafted → approved | rejected → posted.

Count and report the queue state before drafting anything. If nothing is scouted, say so and stop.

Voice rules (what keeps an account alive)

  • Write like a builder sharing what they learned, not a marketer promoting.
  • Casual, direct, no corporate speak. No em-dashes as filler.
  • Self-deprecating humor is fine; "as an expert" framing is not.
  • No emojis unless the sub's culture uses them heavily.
  • No hard CTAs and no links to your stuff in comments. The profile bio does that work.
  • Match the energy of the thread: technical threads get technical replies.
  • Reference your real experience, not your brand. Share what happened, never drop the product name unprompted.

Steps

  1. Load the queue and show the counts by status.
  2. Present each opportunity: subreddit, title, score, why it matched, URL.
  3. Draft a comment per item. Read the post first. The reply must add genuine value on its own: a tip, a "here's what worked for me", a relevant experience. 2–5 sentences for comments; longer only if the post warrants depth. If you can't draft something genuine, skip it and say why.
  4. Collect decisions one at a time: approve / edit (user supplies the text) / reject (record the reason). Save the queue after every decision, not at the end — progress is never lost.
  5. Summarize: approved / rejected / skipped, and what happens next.

Rules

  1. Human-in-the-loop always — nothing posts without explicit per-item approval.
  2. Save after each decision — write the queue incrementally.
  3. Voice compliance — run every draft through the slop filter: no "game-changer", "revolutionize", "unlock", "level up", "deep dive".
  4. No self-promotion in comments — share experiences, not links.
  5. Skip gracefully — 3 good comments beat 10 mid ones. If a post doesn't warrant a genuine reply, skip.
  6. Read the room — contentious threads or threads outside your real expertise get skipped.
  • https://github.com/shawnla90/ClearboxGTM/blob/main/playbooks/how-to-win-on-reddit.md — why the no-links, value-first rules exist
  • ../../starters/reddit-buyer-signals/ — the scout/score pipeline that fills the queue
  • ../../starters/reddit-buyer-signals/content.py — batch draft generation the approval loop can start from
