Subreddit name: r/[subredditname]
My goal for this community: [brand awareness | lead generation | community building | feedback | content distribution | AMA | general engagement]
My background/expertise: [describe your relevant knowledge]
My product/service (if applicable): [describe — or "personal, no product"]

Based on your knowledge of this subreddit, research and report on:
1. Community overview: size, age, primary audience demographics and interests
2. Content that performs best: post types (text | image | link | poll | video), topics, formats
3. Community rules and culture: explicit rules + unwritten norms that get posts removed
4. Sensitive topics to avoid: subjects that consistently generate controversy or bans
5. Key recurring themes: what questions, complaints, and discussions appear repeatedly
6. Influential post formats: specific frameworks that consistently earn engagement
7. How promotional content is received: what kind of self-promotion is tolerated vs. banned
8. Recommended engagement strategy: how I should participate given my goal and background
9. First 5 posts I should make: suggested titles and post types to establish credibility before any self-promotion

Write a Reddit post for the following subreddit and topic.

Subreddit: r/[subredditname]
Post type: [text post | link post | image post | poll | crosspost]
Topic: [what you want to post about]
Your goal for this post: [spark discussion | share knowledge | ask for advice | promote (carefully) | seek feedback | tell a story]
Your relevant background: [why you are qualified to post about this topic]
Key information to include: [bullet points of what the post should cover]
Tone matching the subreddit: [casual/meme | serious/professional | educational | personal story | data-driven]
Length preference: [short (100-200 words) | medium (300-500 words) | long-form (600+ words)]
Self-promotion (if any): [describe the product/service — or "none"]

Post requirements:
- Title (6 options): clear, curiosity-inducing, and compliant with sub rules — no clickbait
- Body: opens with a hook that makes the reader want to continue
- Adds genuine value (advice, insight, data, story, or humor) before any CTA
- If self-promotion exists, disclose it naturally and make it secondary to the value
- Ends with an open question to invite comments and maximize engagement
- Format: use Reddit markdown (bold, bullet points, headers) only if the subreddit culture supports it

Help me prepare for a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session.

My background: [name, role, company/project, what I am known for]
AMA subreddit: r/[subredditname]
AMA topic: [what the AMA is about]
My AMA announcement post: [paste or describe — or "not written yet"]
My goals for this AMA: [brand awareness | recruitment | product launch | thought leadership | community building]
Potential controversies or sensitive topics: [things the community might challenge me on]
Topics I am not able to discuss: [legal, NDA, competitive, personal limits]

Prepare:
1. AMA announcement post: compelling title + hook paragraph that explains why people should participate
2. Top 20 questions I am likely to be asked: organized by category (easy | challenging | controversial)
3. Model answers for the top 10 most important questions: conversational, honest, 150-300 words each
4. Handling controversial questions: template for addressing challenges with transparency while staying on-message
5. Responses for questions outside my scope: how to decline gracefully without seeming evasive
6. Opening and closing statements for the AMA
7. Engagement tips: how to identify and prioritize questions during a live AMA

Flag any questions that require legal or PR review before the AMA.

Write a genuine, helpful comment response for the following Reddit thread.

Subreddit: r/[subredditname]
Original post: [paste the post title and body]
Comment I am responding to (if any): [paste the specific comment — or "responding to OP"]
My expertise relevant to this discussion: [what qualifies me to respond]
My goal: [help the poster | add perspective | correct misinformation | promote a product/service carefully | build community reputation]
Tone of the subreddit: [casual | professional | technical | supportive | snarky]
Self-promotion (if applicable): [describe — or "none"]

Comment requirements:
- Open with genuine acknowledgment of the poster's situation or question
- Provide specific, actionable advice — not generic platitudes
- Add a personal anecdote or data point to increase credibility
- If self-promoting: disclose the connection explicitly ("I built X which solves this") and make the disclosure casual, not formal
- Length: 150-300 words for most comments — longer only if the question genuinely requires depth
- End with a question or observation that invites further discussion
- Do NOT use the phrase "Great question!" or any other hollow opening
- Reddit markdown only if appropriate for this sub's culture

Write the comment, then write a shorter 50-word version for a quick reply if the longer version feels too formal for the context.

Mine the following subreddit for recurring pain points, questions, and keyword patterns relevant to my product/service.

Subreddit(s) to analyze: r/[subreddit1], r/[subreddit2], r/[subreddit3]
My product/service: [describe]
Target customer persona: [describe who your customer is]
Research goal: [content ideas | product feedback | marketing messages | sales leads | feature prioritization]

Based on your knowledge of these communities, identify and structure:

   - For each: the exact phrasing people use, frequency level, types of answers currently given

2. Top 10 pain points expressed regularly
   - Exact language Redditors use to describe the problem (use their words, not marketing language)
   - Emotional intensity of each pain point (frustrated | annoyed | desperate | casual)

3. Keywords and phrases that appear frequently in high-engagement posts on this topic
   - These should be used in your own posts and SEO content

4. Gaps in existing answers
   - Questions that get poor or incomplete answers where you could add genuine value

5. Competitor mentions
   - Products or alternatives Redditors recommend — and what they say is good or bad about them

Compile into a "Voice of Customer" document I can use for copywriting and content strategy.

Design a cross-posting strategy for the following content across multiple relevant subreddits.

Content to cross-post: [describe the post — title, type, topic, value proposition]
Primary subreddit (where you first posted or plan to post first): r/[primary]
Goal: [maximum reach | targeted community | lead generation | feedback | virality]
My Reddit account age and karma: [new | <1 year | 1-3 years | 3+ years]
Karma level: [low <100 | medium 100-1000 | high 1000+]

Identify 8-12 subreddits where this content would fit and produce a cross-posting plan:
For each subreddit:
- Subreddit name and size
- Why this content fits this community
- Any title or framing adjustments needed for this specific community's culture
- Rules to check before posting (common blockers: no self-promotion | link karma required | text posts only)
- Recommended posting order and timing (start with most lenient, build momentum)
- Whether to cross-post (Reddit's native feature) or repost with adapted content
- Expected reception (high | medium | low engagement probability)

Also: suggest an optimal posting schedule across 7-14 days to avoid appearing spammy.

Generate Reddit-native content ideas for r/[subredditname] related to [topic/industry].

My background: [describe your expertise]
My goal for this subreddit: [community building | brand awareness | product promotion | thought leadership]
My posting history in this sub: [none | occasional | regular contributor]
What tends to perform well here based on community research: [describe format or topic patterns you know work]
What I want to be known for in this community: [describe your niche or perspective]

Generate 15 specific, original content ideas optimized for this subreddit:

For each idea:
- Post title (write 2 variations — one more informational, one more emotional/curiosity-driven)
- Post type (text | link | image | poll | crosspost)
- Core concept in 2 sentences
- The value this brings to the community (why would people upvote and comment?)
- Potential controversy or sensitivity to watch for
- A unique angle that differentiates it from common posts on this topic
- Estimated engagement potential: low | medium | high | viral

Organize ideas into 3 categories: Quick wins (easy to write now), Long-term authority builders, Potential viral posts (higher risk, higher reward).

Review the following Reddit post or comment for community guidelines compliance and anti-spam risk before I publish it.

Post or comment to review: [paste the content]
Target subreddit: r/[subredditname]
Subreddit rules (paste if you have them): [paste rules — or "please look up based on your knowledge of this sub"]
My relationship to any products, services, or links mentioned: [creator | affiliate | employee | user | none]
My account characteristics: [account age | karma | posting history in this sub]

Compliance check:
1. Rule violations: identify any explicit rule violations with the specific rule referenced
2. Self-promotion ratio: evaluate whether self-promotion percentage is within community norms
3. Disclosure check: are all commercial interests properly disclosed?
4. Spam signals: identify any language, link patterns, or framing that may trigger spam filters
5. Community culture fit: how well does the tone and content match this sub's norms?
6. Karma and trust signals: given my account status, what additional risk does this pose?
7. Suggested edits: specific changes to reduce removal risk without gutting the content

Overall risk assessment: Low | Medium | High — with a recommendation to post, edit, or hold.

4. Personal journey questions (4) — behind-the-scenes, failures, lessons learned
5. Forward-looking questions (4) — predictions, advice, opinions on future trends

For each question:
- Write the question exactly as a Redditor would phrase it (conversational, direct)
- Identify the hook that makes this question interesting to the broader community
