8trafficai Bundle Reddit Subreddit PersonaResearch a specific subreddit's audience norms, post formats, and comment register from multiple top posts and top comments, preserve direct Reddit source permalinks, and generate original subreddit-native post or comment drafts. Use whenever someone asks for a subreddit persona or audience profile, wants to know what r/X upvotes, asks to analyze top Reddit posts or comments, match a community's tone, adapt an idea into a Reddit post for r/X, generate high-resonance or “viral” Reddit post ideas, draft or improve a comment or reply, or assess why a Reddit draft feels out of place.

asteroidhunter Bundle Did AI Write ThisRun Pangram's v3 AI-detection on a chunk of text and return a structured verdict (label + three fractions summing to 1.0). Use whenever the user asks "is this AI?", "did a human write this?", "did ChatGPT write this?", "is this AI-generated?", "check if AI", "verify this source", or any variant question about text authorship. **Does not auto-run on WebFetch by default** — every call costs a Pangram credit, so proactive use is opt-in. To enable proactive checks during research, the user can add an instruction to their CLAUDE.md (e.g. "When I'm in a research flow, run did-ai-write-this on every WebFetch'd page before citing"). Output is compact JSON (label, three fractions, char count) when stdout is piped, a one-line summary on a TTY; a fraction_ai >= 0.5 verdict means do not cite as human-authored. Pangram needs at least 50 words for reliable detection (the CLI rejects shorter input with exit 6).
