Reddit Comment Generator V5 — User Prompt

This user prompt is designed to pair with the V5 unified system prompt (reddit-comment-system-prompt-v5-unified.md). It provides the post details and additional context the model needs for both safety classification and comment generation.

V5 covers BOTH karma-farming subreddits AND GrowReach ICP subreddits (business, startup, marketing, sales, LinkedIn, agency). The JSON input schema is identical to V4 — the RPA builds this JSON the same way regardless of subreddit type. V5 adds the top_comments field — the RPA builds this JSON the same way regardless of subreddit type.

Input Format

Example Input

  "post_title": "This 21 year old got me wanting to act feral",
  "post_content": "Ok so I'm 26 and I got out of a 5 year relationship a few months ago. He is a very controlling narcissistic man. He wouldn't allow me to go out with friends, have Instagram, go to the gym, etc.\n\nAnyways, while planning my exit I started noticing this really cute guy that works at my local grocery store and honestly I thought he was 24/25, he always was helpful and friendly, after a few times of seeing him and breaking up with my ex I decided to ask him for his number. He shut me down and said he couldn't cause he was already with someone.\n\nWell fast forward to this past weekend, I ran into him in town while we were both out with friends, he came up to me and asked me for my number and said he was now single and left a toxic relationship, that he did want to give me his number back then but out of respect for the girl he couldn't. Now we've been talking non stop and went on a date last night, he wanted to kiss me but I didn't and now I regret it! But omgggg he makes me want to act feral!!!! Idk if it's too soon or not but man he looks sooo fine!! We're going on another date tomorrow night so I definitely plan on kissing him but don't know if to just leave it at that!!\n\nEdit: I found out he's 21 last night, I've never dated anyone younger than me before so idk if this is bad that I'm into someone that much younger than me but our goals and mindsets are very similar so so far so good.\n\nAlso he met my dog and she loved him! He was so gentle and sweet to her!",

How the Backend Should Use This

Fetch post data from Reddit API (rdt-curl or Composio)
Enrich with profile context from the metrics database (profile_karma, profile_age_days, profile_timezone)
Calculate post_age_minutes = current_time - post.created_utc
Count existing_comments from the post’s comment count
Build the JSON as shown above
Send as user message alongside the V5 system prompt
Parse the response — check action field first. If “SKIP”, move to next post. If “SAFE”, extract comment and post it.
Log the response — store all output fields (categories, quality_score, upvote_triggers, subreddit_template_used, word_count, strategy_used) in the metrics database alongside the comment_id and score

Data Collection for Quality Evaluation

To build the feedback loop, the backend should store these fields from every V5 response alongside the comment’s actual upvote score:

Field	Source	Why
`action`	V4 response	Track SKIP vs SAFE ratio per subreddit
`categories`	V4 response	Which categories trigger SKIP most often
`sensitive`	V4 response	How many sensitive posts pass through
`comment`	V4 response	The actual comment text
`word_count`	V4 response	Correlate with actual score to find optimal length
`subreddit_template_used`	V4 response	Validate template selection accuracy
`upvote_triggers`	V4 response	Find which triggers work per subreddit
`quality_score`	V4 response	Calibrate model self-assessment vs real scores
`quality_notes`	V4 response	Qualitative signal for prompt iteration
`strategy_used`	V5 response	Which Thread Engagement strategy was used (new_angle, contrarian_take, quote_rebuttal, post_only) — correlate with actual score per subreddit
`actual_score`	Reddit API (after 24h)	The ground truth — compare against quality_score
`prompt_version`	Backend constant	”v5-unified” — enables A/B testing

Backend Processing Logic

1. Receive post from Reddit feed
2. Build user prompt JSON (subreddit + post + profile context)
3. Send system prompt + user prompt to AI model
4. Parse JSON response
5. If action == "SKIP":
     - Log skip reason + categories
     - Move to next post
6. If action == "SAFE":
     - Log all output fields to metrics DB
     - Post comment via AdsPower RPA
     - After 24h, fetch actual score from Reddit
     - Store actual_score alongside quality_score for comparison
7. Periodically run analyze_reddit_metrics.py to generate insights

Version History

Version	Date	Changes
v3-unified	2026-08-03	Initial release. Unified classifier + generator in one pass. Added subreddit field, profile context, post_age_minutes, existing_comments. Structured JSON output with quality_score, upvote_triggers, subreddit_template_used.
v4-unified	2026-08-07	Added ICP subreddit templates to companion system prompt (25 business/startup/marketing/sales/LinkedIn/agency communities built from 1,748-comment analysis). Expanded Subreddit On-Topic Guide with all 25 ICP subs. Added 2 ICP example inputs (r/sales, r/LinkedInLunatics). Added quote-rebuttal, credential-take, and meta-observation fallback structures. JSON input/output schema unchanged.
v5-unified	2026-08-11	Added `top_comments` input field (top 2 comments by score). Added Thread Engagement strategy section with `strategy_used` output field (new_angle, contrarian_take, quote_rebuttal, post_only). Added anti-convergence rules to Universal Writing Rules (vary opener, don’t default to first obvious anecdote, treat optional questions as usually no). JSON schema additive only — all existing fields unchanged.
