Excerpt

reddit-research Skill

Overview

Reddit is where people complain, compare, and ask for alternatives before they ever fill out a survey. This skill turns that into a queryable research tool via reddapi.dev: search by meaning across 50,000+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, and 40M+ comments using 1024-dimension vector embeddings - "frustrated with X" finds the frustration even when the post never uses the word "frustrated" - then pull trend momentum and subreddit context around it.

Why reddapi.dev instead of the official Reddit API: no OAuth flow, no registered app, no praw-style setup - just an API key. It's a third-party index, not Reddit itself, so treat it as a research tool, not a replacement for Reddit's own API where official data provenance matters.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
