  # Evaluate thread against Strategy D criteria
  - type: llm.generate
    prompt: |
      Evaluate this Reddit thread for u/MxTide (Berlin indie dev, browser automation, Claude Code, MCP servers).

      Strategy D criteria (all must pass for COMMENT):
      - Post < 15 min old, 3+ early comments, projected < 20 final, < 10 current
      - Topic matches MxTide credibility: Claude Code, MCP, browser automation, CLAUDE.md, cost/pricing
      Skip signals (2+ = SKIP): sensational title + new account, universal topic, score > 20, 10+ comments on rising, hot take framing.

      Importance 0-100: topic relevance to MxTide, thread timing, comment opportunity, visibility potential.
