The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

Produce a Reddit-native launch video using HyperFrames.
Reddit is the platform where polish hurts you. Ads that look like ads get downvoted, hidden, or drowned in sarcastic comments. This skill is built for the opposite — text-first, screenshot-heavy, sound-off, conversational. The closer the video looks to a normal Reddit post, the better it performs.
Making the video needs no accounts. Publishing is optional, and every publish call asks first.
| Job | Primary | Also answers it | What differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Run as a promoted post | Reddit Ads (all PAUSED) | — | The MCP can't upload video: upload the post in Reddit Ads Manager, then attach it by id |
| Post organically | Reddit (by hand, in the right subreddit) | X Organic | Same 1:1 or 4:5 MP4 works on X; confirm the text first, it posts at once |
/reddit-launch-video https://example.com/launch — pulls context from a launch page /reddit-launch-video "we built an open-source alternative to X" — short brief /reddit-launch-video — interview the user
node --version # ≥ 22
ffmpeg -version | head -1 # ≥ 6Reddit only works if you know which subreddit the video is meant for. The same product needs different angles for r/SaaS, r/marketing, r/programming, and r/Entrepreneur.
Try sources in order:
1a. Local file — .agents/product-marketing-context.md or .claude/product-marketing-context.md.
1b. Cogny MCP context tree — if the cogny MCP server is connected:
mcp__cogny__get_context_tree_overview
mcp__cogny__search_context query="<product>"
mcp__cogny__read_context_node node_id="…"The tree often contains the customer / community language and proof points that determine which subreddits will tolerate the post. Check it before falling back to web scraping.
1c. Public web — WebFetch the URL only if 1a/1b are empty or thin.
Then ask (don't skip — these can't be derived from any of 1a–1c):
r/marketing, not "marketers")If the user can't answer #4, do not proceed — the video has no Reddit-shaped truth in it.
Reddit's tolerance for branding is low — heavy brand styling reads as "ad". Still, you want one or two cues so the video doesn't look generic.
Capture the same kit as the other channel skills (see references/brand-identity.md) but dial it down for Reddit:
#f7f7f5-ish) regardless of brand background — Reddit users browse in light mode, dark cards read as ad.If the user pushes back ("but our brand uses serif headlines"), explain the tradeoff and let them decide. The composition template exposes --accent as a CSS variable; the rest is locked to a Reddit-native palette by design.
Reddit-idiomatic video formats:
| Format | When to use | Structure |
|---|---|---|
| Show HN-style | Technical / dev audiences | "Built X. Stack is Y. Here's the demo. Repo / link below." |
| Self-aware launch | Most B2B/SaaS subs | "We built X. Here's what it does. Here's what it doesn't do (yet)." |
| Comparison teardown | Niche tools | "I tested [your tool] vs [3 competitors]. Here's what I found." |
| Problem-first | Marketing / business subs | "I had this exact problem. Here's how I solved it. (Yes, I built the tool.)" |
| Public benchmark | Data / dev / ML subs | "Here are the actual numbers. Methodology: X. Code: Y." |
Pick one. Confirm with the user.
Hand the beat sheet back to the user. Wait for confirmation.
npx -y hyperframes@latest init <product-slug>-reddit --non-interactive --resolution square
cd <product-slug>-redditThere is no --yes flag; --non-interactive disables the prompts. For the 4:5 variant (step 5) there is no preset: keep square and set the root's data-height to 1350.
Read the generated CLAUDE.md once for the framework rules.
Reddit's feed is dominated by square (1:1) and 4:5 portrait. 16:9 plays but feels like an outsider. 9:16 vertical works but reads as a TikTok crosspost.
Default to 1080×1080 (1:1). Use 1080×1350 (4:5) only if the script needs more vertical room for stacked screenshots.
Reference composition: see references/composition-template.html.
Reddit-specific styling rules:
y translate or opacity fade is plenty. Anything kinetic reads as TikTok and gets dismissed.npx hyperframes capture <url> to grab the actual UI.Check dependencies first:
npx hyperframes doctorIf it reports FFmpeg missing, stop before rendering and tell the user to install it (brew install ffmpeg on macOS, sudo apt install ffmpeg on Debian/Ubuntu). Meanwhile, npx hyperframes snapshot captures key frames as PNGs without FFmpeg, so they can review the cards.
npx hyperframes lint
npx hyperframes render --output launch.mp4If the user wants to run this as a paid promoted post, Reddit's killer differentiator is subreddit targeting. Use it.
After the user approves each write:

# Reddit ads wrap an existing post. For a video, upload launch.mp4 as a post in Reddit Ads Manager,
# then find its t3_ id (profile_id comes from any existing ad in tool_get_ads):
mcp__cogny__mcp__Reddit_Ads__tool_list_promotable_posts(profile_id)
# For a link post instead, the MCP can create it:
mcp__cogny__mcp__Reddit_Ads__tool_create_post(title: "...", url: "https://...") # returns t3_xxx
mcp__cogny__mcp__Reddit_Ads__tool_create_ad(ad_account_id, ad_group_id, name, post_id: "t3_xxx", status: "PAUSED")Notes:
PAUSED by default — leave it that way and let the user activate manually after reviewing.launch.mp4 via the Reddit Ads UI, then attach the post.For organic posting: hand the user launch.mp4 and remind them Reddit auto-detects "promotional" videos — the more it looks like a regular post, the further it travels. If X Organic is connected and the MP4 is at a public URL (on Cloud, mcp__cogny__mcp__cogny-image-gen__tool_request_upload_url), offer mcp__cogny__mcp__X_Organic__tool_upload_media(file_url) then tool_create_post(text, media_ids); it posts publicly at once, so confirm the text first.
When you finish, print:
