About this skill
What is the Reddit Post?
The Reddit Post skill is the exact approach Okara’s Reddit Agent follows to post on Reddit without tripping the community’s spam radar. It packages how to choose the right subreddit, read its rules, and write a title and body that read like a genuine member wrote them, so you stop guessing why posts get removed.
It’s written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to understand Reddit’s culture and self-promotion norms, adapt it for your own team, or let the Reddit Agent apply it across the communities where your audience actually spends time.
Downloading the instructions is free with an Okara account. Running the skill continuously, finding the right subreddits and posting on a cadence that builds real goodwill, is part of the Reddit Agent.
What makes Reddit different from a normal marketing channel is that the community itself is the moderation system: karma, account age, and posting history are visible signals every reader uses to judge whether you belong in a thread, and a post that reads as promotional gets buried or removed within minutes, often before most members see it. That’s why this skill treats subreddit fit and honest disclosure as the real unlock — on Reddit, credibility is earned before the post goes up, not argued for inside it.
Example
See it in action
You ask: “I built a free tool that turns messy meeting notes into action items. Where and how do I post it on Reddit without getting removed?”
Agent does: Skip r/productivity — it’s huge and strict on self-promo. r/ProductivityApps and r/smallbusiness fit better and allow tools if you contribute. Post a text post, not a link: open with the problem you kept hitting, describe what you built, and disclose in the first line that it’s yours and free. Title it "I built a free tool that turns messy meeting notes into a clean action-item list — feedback welcome," not "Check out my new app." Then camp the thread for the first hour and answer every question, especially the skeptical ones.
