Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deep lookup: Retrieve a single post by ID including a configurable number of comments, plus subreddit “about” info and user profile details (optionally including recent posts).

Quick Start

Ask for recent posts by running the skill script to fetch 3 hot posts from a subreddit using the command: cd <skill_directory> && python3 scripts/get_posts.py python --limit 3
