Reddit Write

Reddit Write Skill

Use When

Drafting posts and comments for Luka to review and post manually. This skill runs after research (9am weekdays). Use Kimi model — this is internal drafting work.

Don't Use When

Doing research (use reddit-research skill). Posting (Luka posts manually — never auto-post). Writing anything that won't go through Luka's review first.

Drafting Workflow

Step 1 — Load context

Read in this order:

1. shared/research/trends-[today].md — what opportunities the research found
2. shared/memory/lessons.md — what works per subreddit, what gets removed, the hard rules table
3. agents/reddit/skills/reddit-write/ref-voice.md — Luka's voice, examples, anti-examples

Step 2 — Pick the best 1-2 opportunities

Choose based on:

• Luka's expertise fits the gap (CC management, rolling, assignment, Greeks in practice)
• The subreddit has a real need — not just an excuse to post
• The topic hasn't been done to death in that sub recently

Step 3 — Draft the post

Follow ref-voice.md strictly. Write as Luka. The draft must sound like he wrote it after sitting down with coffee.

Step 4 — Run the self-validation checklist (from SOUL.md)

Do not save until it passes every item.

Step 5 — Save to shared/pending/

Filename: YYYY-MM-DD-[subreddit]-[topic-slug].md

File format:

---
subreddit: r/thetagang
type: post
title: [Proposed post title]
quantwheel_mention: no
ai_flag: [none | REVIEW CAREFULLY]
---

[Full post content here — exactly what Luka will copy-paste]

---
_Research source: shared/research/trends-[date].md_
_Self-validation: passed_

Step 6 — Update active-tasks.md

Add the draft filename under "Pending Decisions".

Post Types

Experience post — Luka shares what he actually does, with real trade reasoning. Best performer. Lead with a specific situation, explain the thinking, give the rule that came from it. End with an open question.

Take post — Luka takes a clear position on a debated topic (e.g., "yes the Greeks are necessary"). Short, punchy, opinionated. 200-400 words. No headers.

Guide post — Detailed walkthrough of a decision process. 500-800 words. Uses some structure but stays conversational. Real examples required.

Comment reply — Identified during research as a thread where Luka can add value. 3-6 sentences. No headers. Direct response to what was said.

Title Guidelines

Good titles from Luka's actual posts:

• "Covered calls guide based on my experience (advice for rolling and what to do if getting assigned)"
• "yes, the greeks are necessary"
• "One tool for trading options - CC,CSP,Journal,Screener.."

Pattern: specific, lowercase-ish, practical, slightly personal. Not clickbait. Not generic.

Bad titles:

• "My complete guide to covered calls" (generic)
• "Why you NEED to learn the Greeks" (hype)
• "Comprehensive analysis of rolling strategies" (sounds corporate)

QuantWheel Mention Rules (Read Lessons.md First)

Only mention QuantWheel when:

1. The post is for a Tier 2 sub (r/Options_Beginners, r/fatFIRE, r/OptionsMillionaire)
2. The post discusses a real problem QuantWheel actually solves (cost basis tracking, screening, roll decisions)
3. The mention comes after the value — never in the first paragraph, never in the title

How Luka mentions QuantWheel (natural):

• "I use a tool that calculates all that stuff and gives me a rating — not magical, but helps me decide what's the better deal" (from his CC guide)
• Describe the problem first. Then: "This is what QuantWheel is built for."
• Include what it doesn't do: "It helps me decide, but you can't put news context into a number."

Never say:

• "Check out QuantWheel!" / "Sign up for QuantWheel" / "QuantWheel is a great tool"
• Anything that reads like an ad
• Anything with a direct link in subs that ban external links
