# Reddit Promo > Draft copy-paste-ready Reddit posts that promote Aeon - read the daily fetch-tweets output, pull what @aeonframework newly shipped, announced, or got endorsed for, and write value-first, per-subreddit-tailored drafts. Drafts only - never auto-posts. - Skill: `aaronjmars/reddit-promo` (Agent Skill) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add aaronjmars/reddit-promo` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/aaronjmars/reddit-promo/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: aaronjmars (https://skillmd.com/u/aaronjmars) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/aaronjmars/reddit-promo --- Today is ${today}. This skill turns the **existing daily `fetch-tweets` output** into promotional Reddit drafts. It does not fetch X itself and it does not post to Reddit - it reads what `fetch-tweets` already curated, selects what is worth promoting about Aeon, and writes ready-to-post drafts tailored per subreddit. A human posts them. Read `memory/MEMORY.md`, `memory/products.md`, and `STRATEGY.md` (if present) for Aeon's positioning and current priorities. If `soul/SOUL.md` + `soul/STYLE.md` are populated, match that voice for the casual/founder subs; otherwise use a clear, direct, non-hype builder tone. This skill's output follows the shared **`docs/output-contract.md`**. The one that bites here is the **cadence clock**: Reddit self-promo has to stay occasional, so the digest surfaces how long it has been since the last promo (the `seen.txt` already gives the story-dedup state; this makes the clock visible so a too-frequent run is obvious). ## Var `${var}` (all optional, comma-separated where relevant): - empty - auto-pick the best-fit **few** subreddits for the freshest promotable story. - `r/Name[,r/Name...]` - restrict drafting to these subreddits. - `story:` - force the promo around a specific tweet URL or topic from recent output instead of auto-selecting. - `dry-run` - do everything but skip the notification (still log). ## Input - the daily fetch-tweets output `fetch-tweets` runs daily (17:00 UTC) with the query `@aeonframework OR aeonfun/aeon OR @miroshark_ OR ...` and persists its result. Read these, most-durable first: 1. **`memory/logs/*.md` - last 7 days, each `### fetch-tweets` block.** This is the source of truth. Each block carries a `signal:` one-liner, `clusters:` naming the accounts + engagement (`likes:N rts:N replies:N`), and a `urls:` list. Parse every block in range. 2. **`apps/dashboard/outputs/fetch-tweets-*.json` - the newest file.** A json-render tree; read the `elements` map for `TweetCard`/`Heading`/`Link` props to recover fuller tweet **text** when a log cluster is only a one-line summary. Newest filename by timestamp suffix. 3. **`memory/fetch-tweets-notify.md`** - the last notify payload, if present, as a secondary text source. Do **not** call `./secretcurl`, `x-cli`, or any X API - the point is to reuse output that already ran. ## Steps 1. **Collect candidate items.** From the sources above, build a list of everything Aeon-relevant in the last 7 days: `{ text_or_summary, author_handle, url, engagement, days_ago, kind }` where `kind` ∈ `shipped` (a feature/release/PR), `metric` (adoption/traction number), `endorsement` (someone credible cosigning Aeon/Miroshark), `launch`, `other`. - **Promotable** = anything positive worth amplifying: Aeon's own announcements (`x.com/aeonframework`, `x.com/aaronjmars`, `x.com/miroshark_`) AND third-party endorsements / adoption metrics (e.g. "hundreds of agents using our API", an unprompted cosign). - **Not promotable** = FUD, copy allegations, "is it dead?" doubt, unrelated market chatter, unverified rumors. Skip these - this is a promo skill, not a defense skill (route those to engagement-act). 2. **Dedup + read the cadence clock.** Read `memory/reddit-promo-seen.txt` (one URL per line; create if missing). Drop any candidate whose `url` is already listed - it was promoted on a previous run. Also drop candidates older than 10 days (promo window closed). While here, compute **`days_since_last_promo`**: scan the last 30 days of `memory/logs/` for the most recent `### reddit-promo` block with `status: REDDIT_PROMO_OK` and take today minus that date (if none, `first promo`). This is the cadence clock surfaced in step 7 - it does not gate the run, it just makes over-frequent promo visible. 3. **Skip if nothing fresh.** If after filtering there are zero promotable, unseen items, log `REDDIT_PROMO_SKIP: no fresh promotable items` and exit **without** notifying. Reddit self-promo has to be occasional to not read as spam - silence beats a filler post. 4. **Pick the story.** Rank remaining items by (fresher × higher engagement × `shipped`/`metric`/`endorsement` over `other`). Choose the **1 strongest** as the headline story; you may fold in 1-2 supporting items as proof points in the same post. If `var` has `story:`, use that instead. 5. **Choose a few subreddits.** Read `memory/topics/reddit-subreddits.md` for the target table + the two link legends (fall back to the built-in default list below if missing). If `var` names subreddits, use only those. Otherwise pick the **3-5** whose archetype best fits the story's `kind` - a `shipped` code story fits `github`/`claude-skills`/`open-source`; a `metric`/`endorsement` fits `startup`/`agents`/`community`. Do not draft all 13 in one run. **Resolve links for each chosen subreddit:** - **Canonical link** (goes in the post body) - resolve the row's `link` token via the config's "Canonical links" table: `repo` → `https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon`, `site` → `https://aeon.fun`, `miroshark` → `https://github.com/miroshark/miroshark`, `xpost` → the story's source tweet URL. - **Submit link** (one-click post) - build `https://www.reddit.com/r//submit?title=` where `` is the subreddit without `r/` and the title is percent-encoded (space→`%20`, etc.). This opens the composer with the title pre-filled; the operator pastes the body. 6. **Draft one post per chosen subreddit** using its **Archetype** (below). Each draft is independent copy-paste-ready text - **never identical across subs** (Reddit's spam filter flags cross-posted duplicates). Vary title and opening per sub. Each draft has: - **Title** - specific, no emoji, no clickbait. Follow the sub's format note. - **Body** - value/story first, the promo second. 2-5 short paragraphs. End with the canonical link (per the config `link` column) and an offer to answer questions. - **Post notes** - 1 line: which rule to respect (self-promo ratio, required flair, disclosure), and the reminder to post as the builder ("I built / I work on Aeon"), not anonymously. 7. **Write output to a temp file, then send via `./notify -f`:** ``` *Reddit Promo - ${today}* d since last promo · subs drafted _Story:_ [one-line what we're promoting] - [url] --- *r/SubredditName* · archetype: *Title:* *Body:* <body text, ready to paste - with the canonical link inline> *Link in post:* <resolved canonical url> *Post here:* [Open r/SubredditName composer](<submit url, title pre-filled>) _notes: <rule/disclosure reminder>_ --- *r/NextSubreddit* ... ``` Every draft carries both its **Link in post** (the canonical URL the body references) and a **Post here** submit link so posting is one click.
