What this skill does
# Reddit Skill 📰 Read and search Reddit posts using the public JSON API. No API key required. ## Quick Start ```bash # Read top posts from a subreddit python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit LocalLLaMA --limit 5 # Search for posts python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --search "clawdbot" --limit 5 # Read newest posts python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit ClaudeAI --sort nuevos --limit 5 ``` ## Options | Option | Short | Description | Default | |--------|-------|-------------|---------| | `--subreddit` | `-s` | Subreddit name (without r/) | - | | `--search` | `-q` | Search query | - | | `--sort` | - | Sort: hot, new, top, populares, nuevos, rising | top | | `--time` | `-t` | Time filter: hour, day, week, month, year, all | day | | `--limit` | `-n` | Number of posts (max 100) | 25 | | `--json` | `-j` | Output as JSON | false | | `--verbose` | `-v` | Show post preview text | false | ## Examples ### Read subreddit posts ```bash # Top posts of the day (default) python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit programming # Hot posts python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit programming --sort hot # New posts python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit programming --sort nuevos # Top posts of the week python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit programming --sort top --time week ``` ### Search posts ```bash # Search all of Reddit python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --search "machine learning" # Search within a subreddit python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit selfhosted --search "docker" # Search with time filter python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --search "AI news" --time week ``` ### JSON output ```bash # Get raw JSON data for processing python3 /root/clawd/skills/reddit/scripts/reddit_scraper.py --subreddit technology --limit 3 --json ``` ## Output Fields (JSON) - `title`: Post title - `author`: Username - `score`: Upvotes (net) - `num_comments`: Comment count - `url`: Link URL - `permalink`: Reddit discussion URL - `subreddit`: Subreddit name - `created_utc`: Unix timestamp - `selftext`: Post text (first 200 chars) - `upvote_ratio`: Upvote percentage (0-1) ## Limitations - **Read-only**: Cannot post, comment, or vote - **Rate limits**: Reddit may rate-limit if too many requests - **No auth**: Some content may be restricted ## Technical Details See [TECHNICAL.md](references/TECHNICAL.md) for implementation details.
Related in Writing & Docs
jax-development
IncludedUse this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.
nature-article-writer
IncludedDrafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.
deckrd
IncludedDocument-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.
clinical-decision-support
IncludedGenerate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.
handling-sf-data
IncludedSalesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).
accelint-ac-to-playwright
IncludedConvert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
