first-1000-users
AI-powered Reddit seeding agent for founders. Analyzes a product spec, maps relevant subreddits, finds real threads where target users need help, drafts personalized replies and DMs, and posts approved outreach via Reddit API. Use when someone wants to find and engage their first users on Reddit, seed a product launch, or do community-led growth without a budget.

Validation for skill structure
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that clearly articulates specific capabilities (analyzing specs, mapping subreddits, drafting outreach, posting via API), uses natural trigger terms founders would actually say, and includes an explicit 'Use when...' clause with multiple relevant scenarios. The description is distinctive enough to avoid conflicts with other marketing or social media skills due to its Reddit-specific and founder-focused positioning.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Analyzes a product spec', 'maps relevant subreddits', 'finds real threads', 'drafts personalized replies and DMs', and 'posts approved outreach via Reddit API'. These are clear, actionable capabilities. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (analyzes specs, maps subreddits, finds threads, drafts replies, posts outreach) AND when with explicit 'Use when...' clause covering three distinct trigger scenarios: finding first users, seeding a launch, or community-led growth. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes natural keywords users would say: 'Reddit', 'subreddits', 'first users', 'product launch', 'community-led growth', 'founders', 'DMs', 'outreach'. Good coverage of terms a founder seeking Reddit marketing help would use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with clear niche: Reddit-specific, founder-focused, seeding/outreach use case. The combination of 'Reddit API', 'subreddits', 'founders', and 'seeding' creates a unique fingerprint unlikely to conflict with general marketing or social media skills. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill with excellent workflow clarity and strong safety guardrails. The 6-phase pipeline with explicit human approval gates and comprehensive error handling demonstrates mature design. However, the document is verbose with some redundancy between sections (ethical guardrails, 'What NOT to Do', and inline constraints overlap significantly), and the monolithic structure could benefit from splitting into multiple files for better progressive disclosure.
Suggestions
Consolidate redundant sections: merge 'Ethical Guardrails' and 'What NOT to Do' into a single constraints section, removing duplicates
Split into multiple files: extract the Buying Signal Library format, Style Guide, and Rate Limits into separate reference files linked from the main skill
Trim explanatory text: remove phrases like 'This is NOT template fill-in' and 'NON-NEGOTIABLE. Never skip.' which Claude understands from the structure itself
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is comprehensive but includes some redundancy (e.g., ethical guardrails repeated in multiple sections, 'What NOT to Do' largely duplicates earlier constraints). At ~500 lines, it could be tightened by consolidating repeated rules and removing some explanatory text Claude doesn't need. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Highly actionable with concrete scoring formulas, exact rate limits, specific code-like decision trees, real example formats, and copy-paste-ready templates. The channel decision tree, quality gates, and draft presentation formats are immediately executable. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent 6-phase pipeline with explicit human gate at Phase 4, clear validation checkpoints (quality gates before presenting drafts, cross-phase checks), error handling with specific responses, and feedback loops (removal rate triggers strategy review). Safety triggers and rate limits are unambiguous. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Content is well-organized with clear section headers and logical flow, but it's monolithic—all content is in one file with no references to external files for detailed topics like the style guide, signal library templates, or API reference. The 500+ line document could benefit from splitting advanced sections. | 2 / 3 |
