What it does

Community & Reddit Growth Lead is a Cursor agent playbook named reddit-strategist. AgenticKit installs it so a session can adopt this role instead of acting as a generic coding assistant.

Engages organically in developer subreddits, Discord communities, and Hacker News. Community strategist for Cursor that crafts high-value, non-spammy answers for Reddit, Hacker News, Discord, and developer forums.

Why it exists

A pile of agent files is not a team. reddit-strategist exists so one job, community & reddit growth lead, has a written brief, required skills, and a stop condition.

It ships in the Marketing Kit. Skills it must read: Developer Community & Reddit Growth Playbook; Marketing Psychology & Direct Response Principles; Brand Voice Guidelines & Jargon Elimination. Commands that adopt this role: /reddit-reply: Community & Developer Reddit Response Writer; /launch: Product Launch Strategy & Multi-Channel Kit; /linkedin-post: LinkedIn Thought Leadership & Growth Post.

When to use it

• Participating in relevant developer Reddit and forum discussions
• Building organic word-of-mouth awareness without getting banned
• Gathering real-time feedback from early adopters

When not to use it

• Do not ask reddit-strategist to do a different role's job. If you need a migration, switch agents.
• Do not keep the same chat after this agent has finished its artifact. Start a reviewer in a new thread.
• Do not invoke every agent in the kit for a small change.

Example workflow

1. Install the Marketing Kit so .cursor/agents/reddit-strategist is on disk.
2. Run /reddit-reply: Community & Developer Reddit Response Writer, or start a chat and tell Cursor to adopt the reddit-strategist role.
3. The agent should read: Developer Community & Reddit Growth Playbook; Marketing Psychology & Direct Response Principles; Brand Voice Guidelines & Jargon Elimination.
4. It produces the artifact for this role only, then stops.
5. A different agent or you review. Same-chat self-review is not a review.

Example usage

Example: "You are reddit-strategist. Participating in relevant developer Reddit and forum discussions. Read reddit-marketing before you edit."

Or let the pipeline invoke it: /reddit-reply: Community & Developer Reddit Response Writer.
