We open-sourced our community engagement workflow. Clone it and use it
one thing we learned launching openowl: engaging on reddit, twitter, HN, product hunt, linkedin all at once is exhausting. especially as a solo founder.
so we built a system for it and just open-sourced the whole thing.
it's a claude code template with platform-specific guides and skills for each platform. you clone the repo, fill in your product details, and run /engage-reddit or /engage-twitter or
/engage-all and it finds relevant posts, drafts replies in the right tone for each platform, and you review before posting.
each platform has its own guide covering:
what tone to use (reddit is skeptical, HN is technical, PH is supportive)
what actions to take (reply, upvote, comment, post)
anti-spam rules so you don't get banned
example good and bad comments
how to mention your product without being spammy (spoiler: 90% of the time, don't)
covers reddit, twitter/x, hacker news, indiehackers, linkedin, and discord. (You can add more )

needs openowl + claude code (or codex) to run. MIT license, totally free.
would love feedback on what's missing or what platform guides need work.

The platform specific tone guidance is probably the most useful part here. Most people underestimate how different each community feels.

@oliver_hayes1 Right, I have been doing this from last 2 month, and comes up with this template people can just clone and use it
I like that you included anti-spam rules and examples of bad comments. That’s probably more valuable than the generation itself, especially for people new to these communities.
