Capability Map

• Browser/session attachment:
  • local managed browser via profile path
  • external browser via REDDIT_BROWSER_DEBUG_URL
  • direct attach via REDDIT_BROWSER_WS_URL / GOLOGIN_WS_URL
  • GoLogin token flow via GOLOGIN_API_TOKEN + GOLOGIN_PROFILE_ID
  • list GoLogin profiles with scripts/threadpilot gologin-profiles
• Session and identity:
  • scripts/threadpilot login
  • scripts/threadpilot whoami
• Account activity:
  • scripts/threadpilot my-comments --limit 20

  • scripts/threadpilot my-subreddits --limit 50
• Discovery and reporting:
  • scripts/threadpilot read --subreddit ChatGPT --sort new --limit 10
  • scripts/threadpilot search --query "ai workflow" --subreddit ChatGPT --limit 10
  • save reports to logs/files with shell redirection
• Rules-aware authoring:
  • scripts/threadpilot rules --subreddit ChatGPT
• Subscription management:
  • scripts/threadpilot subscribe --subreddit ChatGPT --dry-run
  • scripts/threadpilot subscribe --subreddit ChatGPT
• Human-in-the-loop engagement:
  • like preview: REDDIT_PERMALINK='<url>' REDDIT_DRY_RUN=1 scripts/threadpilot like-target
  • like confirm: REDDIT_PERMALINK='<url>' REDDIT_CONFIRM_LIKE=1 scripts/threadpilot like-target
• Posting:
  • comment dry-run: REDDIT_THING_ID=t3_xxxxx REDDIT_PERMALINK='<url>' REDDIT_TEXT='draft' REDDIT_DRY_RUN=1 scripts/threadpilot post-comment
  • comment publish: REDDIT_THING_ID=t3_xxxxx REDDIT_PERMALINK='<url>' REDDIT_TEXT='approved' scripts/threadpilot post-comment
  • direct post command is available through scripts/threadpilot post ...
• Warmup scheduling:
  • random warmup runner: ops/openclaw/warmup_random.sh
  • hot-topic review queue: ops/openclaw/hot_topic_review.sh
  • cron template: ops/openclaw/reddit_cli.cron

Should-Do Operating Sequence

1. If the user wants GoLogin, ask for GOLOGIN_API_TOKEN first.
2. Run scripts/threadpilot gologin-profiles, then ask which profile id to use and set GOLOGIN_PROFILE_ID.
3. Validate session with whoami. Login only if missing/expired.
4. Pull subreddit rules before drafting text.
5. Run discovery/reporting (read, search) and review account state (my-*) before engagement.
6. Use dry-run previews for likes/comments before any publish action.
7. Require explicit confirmation before likes and duplicate-prone posts.
8. Use random warmup cadence and jitter for recurring automation.

Warmup and Scheduler Guidance

• Use ops/openclaw/warmup_random.sh for randomized low-risk warmup actions:
  • read/search by default
  • account review actions only when REDDIT_WARMUP_ENABLE_ACCOUNT_ACTIONS=1
  • optional subscribe/like/post actions only when env flags are explicitly enabled
• Use ops/openclaw/hot_topic_review.sh for a 5-minute review loop:
  • reads current hot posts with jitter
  • writes a review queue for one top candidate
  • includes like preview commands and a single comment draft slot
  • never auto-likes or auto-comments
• Add jitter with REDDIT_WARMUP_JITTER_SEC.
• Keep posting off by default in unattended runs; enable only with explicit environment config.

Safety Rules

• Never execute likes without REDDIT_CONFIRM_LIKE=1 (or dry-run preview).
• Keep duplicate-post protection enabled unless user explicitly confirms override.
• Pull rules before generating AI copy and enforce user confirmation before publish.
• Do not ask the user for a raw GoLogin connect URL unless they already have one; prefer token -> profile listing -> profile selection.
• Do not configure unattended auto-likes or auto-comments; use review queues and explicit approval.
