What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of qualified Reddit user research leads rotting untracked between lead discovery and interview synthesis, replacing manual, disjointed outreach and state tracking with a consistent, auditable workflow for pre-PMF founders.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comment-first Reddit outreach drafting: Creates personalized, value-first public comments to engage potential interview candidates before sending DMs, avoiding the poor reception of cold unsolicited DMs on Reddit.
- End-to-end state tracking: Logs every recruitment stage (from pending lead to gift card sent) via append-only MEMORY.md entries and Telegram commands, so no lead's status is lost or forgotten.
- Automated stalled-thread management: Detects leads with no movement for 5+ days and sends contextual follow-up nudges, plus sends pre-interview context reminders and post-interview transcript drop alerts to keep the customer development pipeline moving.
- Real-world use case: A pre-PMF startup founder can use this Skill to turn raw Reddit leads from their interview-finder agent into scheduled user interviews, with full visibility into which leads have been contacted, replied, or declined, without manual spreadsheet tracking.
Quick Start
Use the vabene-interview-recruiter skill to draft personalized Reddit comment and DM outreach for all pending interview leads, then track each lead's recruitment state through Telegram commands for human review before any message is sent.
