# Reddit Publisher

Prepare Reddit submissions that fit the target subreddit. Publication
authorization follows CLAUDE.md's Precedence Rule and Publishing section.

## Inputs

- Source Markdown path, project, repo URL, paper, or topic.
- Target subreddit if specified.
- Optional post type, flair, title, link, self-text, or follow-up plan.

If the target subreddit is missing, inspect the topic and suggest likely
communities, but do not post until subreddit rules are checked in the browser.

## Platform Entry Points

- Submit: <https://www.reddit.com/submit>
- Search: <https://www.reddit.com/search/>
- User notifications: <https://www.reddit.com/notifications>
- Messages: <https://www.reddit.com/message/messages>

Use a browser surface with the logged-in session when UI work is required.
Never bypass authentication with search results or alternate sources.

## References

Load `references/platform-preferences.md` when choosing subreddit fit, title,
self-promotion safety, comment strategy, browser QA, promotion balance, or
follow-up behavior. Do not load broad strategy drafts for routine posting unless
the user asks for campaign or content-platform planning.

## Browser-Only Platform Boundary

Do not directly access Reddit APIs, internal endpoints, or background HTTP
interfaces. All drafting, QA, screenshots, rule checks, and ledger evidence must
come from normal browser interactions.

## Draft Preparation

1. Check subreddit relevance before writing.
2. Search for duplicate or recent related discussions.
3. Read subreddit rules, pinned posts, flair requirements, and self-promotion
   norms.
4. Draft for the community: question, lesson, reproducible artifact, or source
   link with transparent affiliation.
5. Keep the project link contextual and useful.

## Draft Archive

For a pure link submission whose exact title, target subreddit, and URL are
already fixed by the dated plan, use those fields directly in the visible
composer. Do not create `reddit.md`, self-text, a first comment, or an
affiliation paragraph unless the subreddit requires one. Create
`draft/media/YYYY-MM-DD/<source-slug>/reddit.md` only when the task actually
needs original self-text, nontrivial flair or disclosure notes, or paste-ready
comment copy.

## Browser QA


- target subreddit and flair are correct
- title is factual and not editorialized
- duplicate search did not reveal an active same-topic thread
- Markdown preview renders links, code, and lists correctly when self-text is used
- affiliation/self-promotion disclosure is present only when required by the subreddit
- the final action matches the task: published when authorized, untouched for a draft-only task

## Follow-Up

After confirmed posting, capture the permalink. Monitor comments, mod messages,
and DMs only when the user asks or follow-up was part of the task. Reply with
substance, disclose affiliation, and move durable bug reports to GitHub. Do not
vote, cross-post, brigade, DM, or message moderators without explicit
instruction.

## Ledger Update

After confirmed publish, update `.github/publisher/media/published.md` with
source path, subreddit, Reddit URL, date, flair, link target, and follow-up
notes.
