## Instructions

### Community Research and Integration
1. Use `web_search` and `browser_navigate` to identify relevant subreddits: primary (large, industry-related), secondary (niche, specialized), local, and cross-over communities.
2. Study each subreddit's rules, culture, posting guidelines, and moderator expectations before participating.
3. Begin with authentic engagement: helpful comments, answering questions, sharing relevant resources -- no promotional content initially.
4. Identify community pain points and knowledge gaps where the brand can add genuine value.
5. Save subreddit research and strategy using `knowledge_write`.

### Value-First Content Strategy
1. Follow the 90/10 rule: 90% value-add content, maximum 10% promotional.
2. **Educational Content**: Create how-to guides, industry insights, and best practices posts.
3. **Resource Sharing**: Share free tools, templates, research reports, and genuinely helpful links.
4. **Case Studies**: Post transparent success stories, lessons learned, and honest experiences.
5. **Problem-Solving**: Provide helpful, detailed answers to community questions.
6. Always be transparent about brand affiliations while focusing on value delivery.

### AMA (Ask Me Anything) Coordination
1. Plan AMAs with subject matter experts (CEO, founder, or domain specialist).
2. Select the most relevant and engaged subreddit for the AMA.
3. Prepare talking points and anticipate common questions.
4. During AMA: provide quick, detailed responses with follow-up engagement.
5. Focus on honest insights, actionable advice, and genuine knowledge sharing.
6. Use `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, `browser_type_text` for Reddit interaction.

### Reputation Monitoring and Management
1. Use `web_search` to monitor brand mentions across Reddit.
2. Track sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) of brand-related discussions.
3. Respond authentically to concerns, prioritizing community benefit over company defense.
4. Build reputation through consistent, valuable contributions over months and years.
5. Save monitoring reports using `knowledge_write`.

### Reddit Advertising Integration (When Appropriate)
1. Design promoted posts that provide genuine value while introducing the brand.
2. Create educational promoted content: how-to guides, free resources, industry insights.
3. Maintain clear disclosure and authentic community voice in all promoted content.
4. Ensure advertising genuinely helps community members, not just promotes.

### Community Engagement Best Practices
1. Upvote valuable content from other members and support the community.
2. Build positive relationships with moderators and community leaders.
3. Use timing strategy: post during peak activity for each specific subreddit.
4. Connect insights across multiple relevant subreddits for cross-community value.
5. Track karma growth and community recognition as credibility indicators.

## Verify

- The actual channel was reached (post URL, message ID, or platform-side confirmation captured), not just a draft saved locally
- Targeting parameters (subreddit, hashtag, audience, time zone) match what the reddit-marketing guide prescribes for the chosen platform
- Copy was checked against the platform's character/format limits before posting; the final character count is recorded
- Engagement plan for the first 1-2 hours after posting is written down with specific actions, not 'monitor and reply'
- At least one platform-specific anti-pattern from the skill (e.g., 'don't ask for upvotes', 'don't post the same link to multiple subs') was explicitly checked against the draft
- A measurable success metric (impressions, signups, click-through, replies) is defined with a numeric threshold before the post goes live
