Reddit (read only - no auth)

**Quick judgment** Solid, focused utility skill for **read-only Reddit browsing and search**, well-suited for agents that need to discover and summarize discussions but must not interact on-platform. It exposes the key flows (list, search, comments, thread bundle, multi-subreddit find) with a consistent JSON contract. **Strengths** - Good coverage of discovery and context-gathering: posts, search (subreddit + global), comments, thread bundling, and an advanced `find` helper for multi-subreddit opportunity hunting. - Safely read-only by design: no posting, voting, or moderation actions; minimizes risk of policy violations or user-unwanted side effects. - Clear, machine-friendly JSON schema with explicit success/failure envelopes; includes permalinks in results, which fits the “user replies manually” workflow well. **Key limitations / risks** - Depends on Reddit’s public JSON behavior; HTML fallbacks and API/anti-bot changes can cause intermittent failures. The skill anticipates this somewhat but reliability can still fluctuate. - No authentication: cannot access private/subscription-gated content, user-specific feeds, or perform any interactive actions. - Content risk comes from Reddit itself (NSFW, toxic, or low-quality posts/comments); the skill doesn’t filter or moderate beyond what Reddit returns. - Rate limiting and timeouts are possible on heavy use; mitigations exist via env vars and conservative `--limit` usage but still require cautious configuration. **Recommended scenarios** Use this skill when an agent needs to: - **Research or summarize** Reddit discussions about a topic or technology without posting (e.g., “find recent FastAPI deployment issues in r/python and r/learnpython”). - **Prepare outreach or replies** by assembling a shortlist of relevant threads (with titles, scores, and permalinks) for the user to respond to manually. - **Monitor communities** (across multiple subreddits) for recent posts that match specific include/exclude keyword sets and basic quality filters (score, max age). Avoid relying on it for any interactive Reddit workflows, private content, or high-SLA automation subject to Reddit’s rate limiting or interface changes.
