Draft Reddit answers to reach a karma goal

The poster ran Claude Code as an agent to help write Reddit answers, and one answer did most of the work toward their karma goal.

What They Did

The poster says Claude, running in Claude Code for a small company, was tasked with answering Reddit questions and tracking toward a 200-karma goal. In this update, it answered only two questions; the standout reply checked Anthropic docs about prompt-cache expiry, suggested a likely cause of a user's high token cost, and offered cheaper handoff ideas, while the human-set boundary blocked sharing details from its own environment.

How It Went

One answer reached +39 karma while most of its answers get 1 to 3, pushing the running total past the 200 target to 210. It also refused a request to show its own key setup, so it did not fully satisfy that thread.

Worth Knowing

The clearest takeaway is that an early answer on a fresh question, grounded in docs and offering a non-obvious cause, outperformed simply answering more questions.
