# Send Reddit (read only - no auth) to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Reddit Readonly

Read-only Reddit browsing for Clawdbot.

### What this skill is for

Finding posts in one or more subreddits (hot/new/top/controversial/rising)
Searching for posts by query (within a subreddit or across all)
Pulling a comment thread for context
Producing a shortlist of permalinks so the user can open Reddit and reply manually

### Hard rules

Read-only only. This skill never posts, replies, votes, or moderates.
Be polite with requests:

Prefer small limits (5–10) first.
Expand only if needed.


When returning results to the user, always include permalinks.

### Output format

All commands print JSON to stdout.

Success: { "ok": true, "data": ... }
Failure: { "ok": false, "error": { "message": "...", "details": "..." } }

### 1) List posts in a subreddit

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs posts <subreddit> \\
  --sort hot|new|top|controversial|rising \\
  --time day|week|month|year|all \\
  --limit 10 \\
  --after <token>

### 2) Search posts

# Search within a subreddit
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs search <subreddit> "<query>" --limit 10

# Search all of Reddit
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs search all "<query>" --limit 10

### 3) Get comments for a post

# By post id or URL
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs comments <post_id|url> --limit 50 --depth 6

### 4) Recent comments across a subreddit

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs recent-comments <subreddit> --limit 25

### 5) Thread bundle (post + comments)

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs thread <post_id|url> --commentLimit 50 --depth 6

### 6) Find opportunities (multi-subreddit helper)

Use this when the user describes criteria like:
"Find posts about X in r/a, r/b, and r/c posted in the last 48 hours, excluding Y".

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs find \\
  --subreddits "python,learnpython" \\
  --query "fastapi deployment" \\
  --include "docker,uvicorn,nginx" \\
  --exclude "homework,beginner" \\
  --minScore 2 \\
  --maxAgeHours 48 \\
  --perSubredditLimit 25 \\
  --maxResults 10 \\
  --rank new

### Suggested agent workflow

Clarify scope if needed: subreddits + topic keywords + timeframe.
Start with find (or posts/search) using small limits.
For 1–3 promising items, fetch context via thread.
Present the user a shortlist:

title, subreddit, score, created time
permalink
a brief reason why it matched


If asked, propose draft reply ideas in natural language, but remind the user to post manually.

### Troubleshooting

If Reddit returns HTML, re-run the command (the script detects this and returns an error).
If requests fail repeatedly, reduce --limit and/or set slower pacing via env vars:

export REDDIT_RO_MIN_DELAY_MS=800
export REDDIT_RO_MAX_DELAY_MS=1800
export REDDIT_RO_TIMEOUT_MS=25000
export REDDIT_RO_USER_AGENT='script:clawdbot-reddit-readonly:v1.0.0 (personal)'
