Includes the `reddit-community-manager` sub-skill, which teaches an agent to discover relevant threads, qualify posters, draft and post comments that don't read as AI spam, DM users, and follow up, using the should-I-reply gate, anti-AI-spam style rules, and disclosure pattern that actually works on Reddit. ## Getting started The `reddit-community-manager` skill is part of the [gtm-skills](https://github.com/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills) bundle, a [Claude Code skill](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/skills) catalog for GTM workflows, listed on the [skills.sh](https://www.skills.sh/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills/reddit-community-manager) registry. It's a focused instruction set that loads on demand when an agent is asked to engage on Reddit: it wires the [21 gtm-tools Reddit tools](/reddit-tools) into a full engagement loop, plus the quality rules (the five-question reply gate, the anti-AI-writing scrubber, the disclosure pattern) that decide whether the loop builds karma or burns the account. The skill calls the gtm-tools HTTP API over `curl`, so it works in Claude Code and any Agent Skills-compatible client with no MCP wiring. Two runtime prerequisites: a [Reddit session in the pool](/extension), without which write tools fail, and a credit balance of roughly 20 to run the loop end to end (most reads cost 1, most writes cost 5). ## Installation Install just the Reddit Community Manager skill: ```bash npx skills add arnaudjnn/gtm-skills --skill reddit-community-manager ``` Add `--yes` to skip the confirmation prompts (for CI or a scripted setup), and `--global` to install at user level instead of into the current project: ```bash npx skills add arnaudjnn/gtm-skills --skill reddit-community-manager --yes --global ``` Or install the whole `gtm-skills` catalog (`outbound-sales`, `linkedin-copywriter`, `reddit-community-manager`): ```bash npx skills add arnaudjnn/gtm-skills ``` Both work because `arnaudjnn/gtm-skills` follows the [anthropics/skills](https://github.com/anthropics/skills) layout: each skill lives at `skills//SKILL.md` and is addressable by name. ### Claude Code plugin marketplace The repo also ships a [`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`](https://github.com/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills/blob/main/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json), so you can install it as a plugin instead: ``` /plugin marketplace add arnaudjnn/gtm-skills /plugin install gtm-skills@gtm-skills ``` ### Manual installation Skills are plain markdown. Clone the repo and drop the directory where your client looks for skills: ```bash git clone https://github.com/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills.git cp -R gtm-skills/skills/reddit-community-manager ~/.claude/skills/reddit-community-manager ``` ## Configuration ### Environment variable Set the API key once. Every tool call in the skill reads it: ```bash export GTM_TOOLS_API_KEY="" ``` ### Where the skill installs `npx skills add` writes the real files under `.agents/skills//` and symlinks them into each agent directory it detects, including `.claude/skills/` for Claude Code. Pass `--copy` if you'd rather have real files in both places than symlinks, and `--global` to install into your home directory instead of the project. Get an API key with `get_api_key` (see [Getting Your API Key](/knowledge-base/getting-started/getting-api-key)) or run `gtm-tools admin login`, which stores it in `~/.gtm-tools/config.json`. ## Features When the `reddit-community-manager` skill loads, it teaches the agent: ### A five-stage loop Discover → Evaluate → Engage → Follow up → Organize, mapped one-to-one onto the 21 Reddit tools, with the rule that Stage 3 never runs before Stage 2 has qualified the poster. ### The should-I-reply gate Five questions to answer YES before drafting. Any NO produces `SKIP: ` instead of a reply. A thoughtful no-reply costs nothing; a marginal reply burns karma that took weeks to build. ### The disclosure rule Replies that touch on your product open with ` from here.` Reddit's transparency norm is what shifts a message from "ad" to "expert chiming in", and it's non-negotiable. ### The no-links rule Name primary authorities in prose; don't link to your blog, product, or help center. The disclosure opener already does the discovery work. ### An anti-AI-writing pass Concrete banned patterns (em dashes, rule-of-three constructions, "delve", "robust", "leverage" as a verb, sycophantic openers, monotone sentence rhythm), with a before/after example showing the same content with and without the tells. ### The compliance gate `get_subreddit_about` before posting in any new subreddit. Rule violations are the number-one shadowban trigger. ## Example usage Ask in natural language. The skill loads on its own, with no slash command: * "Find threads in r/sales where people complain about our category." * "Should I reply to this post? ``" * "Where are my competitors getting complained about on Reddit?" * "Draft a comment for this thread, disclose that I work at Acme." * "Check whether this Reddit user is credible before I reply." It's single-purpose by design: for LinkedIn, signals, or email work, the agent reads the [main docs](/introduction) or activates the other skills in the bundle. ## Resources * [View on skills.sh](https://www.skills.sh/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills/reddit-community-manager): the full `SKILL.md`, install count, related skills. * [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/arnaudjnn/gtm-skills/tree/main/skills/reddit-community-manager): `SKILL.md` plus the per-tool curl reference (`tools-reference.md`).
