What problem does it solve? Reddit blocks datacenter and server IPs from its .json endpoints, old.reddit.com, and browser-based access with 403 errors and humanity checks, making it impossible to read Reddit content from headless machines. This Skill provides a working read-only path using Reddit's public Atom feeds, with an optional upgrade to app-only OAuth credentials for higher rate limits and richer data. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Subreddit Listings & Search: Browse subreddit front pages (hot, new, top, rising) and search all of Reddit or a single subreddit without any account or API key. - Thread & User Reading: Fetch full threads with comments and user posting history; with OAuth app credentials you get nested comments, scores, and comment counts. - Automatic Backend Selection: The script detects REDDIT_CLIENT_ID/REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET in the environment and switches between anonymous feeds (~1 request/minute) and the OAuth API (~100 requests/minute), with a doctor command to diagnose the active backend. - Use Case: Ask "what is r/LocalLLaMA saying about the new model release" from a server with no browser, and get thread bodies and top comments with permalink citations for a research report. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the reddit-reading skill's doctor command and then search r/LocalLLaMA for a topic you want summarized.
