Search, browse and read Reddit posts, comments and subreddits via the Reddit OAuth2 API; returns structured Markdown summaries for analysis.
Reddit Reader lets an agent search Reddit, list subreddit posts, and read full posts and nested comments using Reddit's OAuth2 API. It produces structured Markdown output suitable for summarisation, trend analysis, and extracting community viewpoints. The skill includes command-line scripts to run searches, list subreddit feeds, and fetch post+comment trees.
Use this skill when a user asks to: search Reddit for discussions about a topic, inspect recent subreddit posts, read a specific Reddit post and its comments, or summarise community sentiment on an issue. It supports filters for time ranges, sorting (hot/new/top), and limits.
Primarily Python-based agent integrations (Claude Code, Copilot-style agents, or any agent that can run Python scripts and read structured Markdown).
Reddit Reader provides OAuth2-based read-only access to Reddit content (search, list posts, read post details with nested comments, subreddit info). The Python script is well-structured with proper argparse subcommands, rate-limit handling with automatic retry, and share-link resolution. Script failed at runtime due to missing Reddit API credentials, which is expected — the error message was clean and informative. No security concerns; only makes network calls to Reddit's documented OAuth API endpoints.
requestsSolid, clean skill. Main drawback is Chinese-only documentation which limits accessibility. Code quality is good — proper error handling, argparse, type hints, docstrings. The recursive retry on 429 is a minor code smell but acceptable in practice. Would benefit from English documentation or bilingual docs.
