About reddit
A Reddit research skill that guides focused scraping before broader searches. It emphasizes relevant evidence and structured findings, including source URLs, recurring themes, subreddit distribution, and follow-up keywords.
Key features
- 01Start with focused lead scraping
- 02Expand post searches when needed
- 03Filter by subreddit, keyword, and time
- 04Summarize findings, sources, and themes
Use cases
- 01Monitor new discussions in selected subreddits
- 02Research user pain points and discussion themes
- 03Reduce noise and adjust search scope
- 04Organize findings and follow-up keywords

How to run the tools in this skill
Every tool in this skill is named by its canonical tool name. Run it with the call your surface gives you:
| Surface | Find a tool | Run it |
|---|---|---|
| MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT) | search("<what you want to do>"), then describe("<name>") | call("<name>", {...}) |
| Hyper CLI | hyperai search "<what you want to do>", then hyperai describe <name> | hyperai call <name> --json '{...}' |
If a tool is not found, its integration is not connected or not enabled for the workspace: stop and tell the user which integration to connect.
Default Workflow
Step 1: Precision pass with reddit_leads_scrape
Start with focused keyword + subreddit pairs:
searches: list of{ "keyword": "...", "subreddit": "..." }hours_back: set a clear recency windowsearch_posts=truesearch_comments=trueonly when comment evidence is neededsort="new"for monitoring orsort="top"for stable discussionsnegative_keywordsto suppress spam/noise
Use 1-3 specific keywords first. Avoid broad single words.
Step 2: Expand with reddit_scrape
If precision results are too narrow:
- run
reddit_scrapewith subredditstart_urls - add adjacent keyword variants in
searches - tune
sortandtimefor recency vs quality - keep
skip_comments=truewhen only post-level signal is needed
Query Quality Rules
- Prefer scoped subreddits before global search.
- Include negative filters (e.g.
onlyfans,porn,nsfw,promo,buy now) when results are noisy. - Increase specificity before increasing
max_items. - If results are sparse, widen subreddits and add semantically related keywords.
Output Requirements
Return:
- top findings with short rationale
- source URLs
- subreddit distribution
- repeated themes/pain points
- recommended follow-up keywords
Do not return unfiltered dumps. Prioritize relevance and evidence.
