116 Prompts for Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and SEO

31 skills. 4 channels. One system.

This is the research layer, not the writing layer. Each prompt below finds one specific thing: a subreddit worth watching, a hook pattern worth stealing, a keyword worth targeting, a conversation about to break out. Fill in the brackets, run the prompt, and decide for yourself what is worth publishing.


How to Use This

Each prompt has brackets like [subreddit], [competitor], or [niche]. Replace them with your specifics before running the prompt in your AI tool of choice.

Prompts are grouped by skill, not by topic. A skill is a repeatable research move, such as sizing a subreddit or reverse-engineering a competitor's calendar, that applies across any niche you drop into it.

Run the prompt, read the output with a skeptical eye, and treat it as a starting point for your own judgment rather than a finished answer. The system does the digging. You still decide what is worth publishing.

Skill 1: Subreddit Discovery & Sizing

  1. List every subreddit where someone with [problem/pain point] would ask for help, ranked by subscriber count and posting frequency.
  2. Given [niche/industry], find subreddits with a high engagement-to-subscriber ratio rather than just large subscriber counts.
  3. Identify subreddits where [target customer] lurks but rarely posts, and where they post but rarely lurk.
  4. Map adjacent subreddits: which communities does someone active in [main subreddit] also frequent, based on cross-posting patterns?
  5. Flag subreddits with strict self-promotion rules versus ones that tolerate soft mentions of [product category].

Skill 2: Community Rules & Culture
