Monitor Reddit, draft replies and schedule posts
Observed in the wild: the commenter says they assembled a personal Claude agent as a social media manager powered by the Agent SDK plus a Claude Code subscription. In the thread and later follow-up, they say it keeps watch on Reddit, sketches replies, and schedules posts, powered by old posts for tone and account stats plus current-vs-previous-period comparisons for performance; sketches still wait for their approval before scheduling. They report it works within their Claude subscription if they route cheaper drafting to Haiku and final output to Sonnet.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 60 by interest), and one of 91 involving Claude.

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Claude or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Help me monitor Reddit, draft replies and schedule posts. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
