reddit-skills
Provides tools for interacting with Reddit, including authentication, content publishing (text, link, image posts), discovery (search, subreddit browsing, post details, user profiles), social interaction (comment, reply, upvote, downvote, save), and compound operations (subreddit analysis, trend tracking, engagement campaigns).
reddit-skills
Reddit automation Skills — directly uses your logged-in browser and real account, operating Reddit as an ordinary user.
Supports OpenClaw and all AI Agent platforms compatible with the SKILL.md format (e.g. Claude Code).
⚠️ Usage advice: Although this project uses your real browser and account, you should still control operation frequency and avoid mass actions in a short time. Aggressive automation may trigger Reddit's rate limits or account restrictions.
Features
Skill | Description | Core Capabilities |
reddit-auth | Authentication | Login check, session management |
reddit-publish | Content Publishing | Text / link / image post submission |
reddit-explore | Discovery | Search, subreddit browsing, post details, user profiles |
reddit-interact | Social Interaction | Comment, reply, upvote, downvote, save |
reddit-content-ops | Compound Ops | Subreddit analysis, trend tracking, engagement campaigns |
Supports chained operations — you can give compound natural-language instructions and the Agent will automatically chain multiple skills. For example:
"Search r/Python for the most upvoted posts about FastAPI this week, save the top one, and tell me what it's about"
The Agent will execute: search → filter by top/week → save → get detail → summarize.
Installation
Prerequisites
Python >= 3.11
uv package manager
Google Chrome browser
Step 1: Install the project
Option A: Download ZIP (recommended)
Download from GitHub and extract to your Agent skills directory:
# OpenClaw
<openclaw-project>/skills/reddit-skills/
# Claude Code
<your-project>/.claude/skills/reddit-skills/Option B: Git Clone
cd <your-agent-project>/skills/
git clone https://github.com/1146345502/reddit-skills.gitThen install Python dependencies:
cd reddit-skills
uv syncStep 2: Install the browser extension
The extension lets the AI operate Reddit in your browser using your real login session.
Open Chrome, navigate to
chrome://extensions/Enable Developer mode (top right)
Click Load unpacked, select this project's
extension/directoryConfirm the Reddit Bridge extension is enabled
Once installed, you're ready to go — all actions happen in your own browser, using your real account.
Usage
As an AI Agent skill (recommended)
After installing to a skills directory, just talk to the Agent in natural language. It will route your intent to the right skill automatically.
Authentication:
"Check if I'm logged in to Reddit" / "Log out of Reddit"
Search & Browse:
"Search Reddit for posts about machine learning" / "Show me the top posts on r/Python"
Submit content:
"Submit a text post to r/learnpython with this title and body..."
Interact:
"Upvote this post" / "Comment on this post: Great write-up!" / "Save this post"
Compound operations:
"Analyze the top posts in r/startups this month and summarize the common themes"
As an MCP server
reddit-skills includes a built-in Model Context Protocol server, making it compatible with any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).
Start the server (stdio):
cd reddit-skills
python scripts/mcp_server.pyConfigure in your MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"reddit-skills": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["scripts/mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "/path/to/reddit-skills"
}
}
}The server exposes 16 tools: check_login, logout, home_feed, subreddit_feed, search, get_post_detail, user_profile, subreddit_rules, post_comment, reply_comment, upvote, downvote, save_post, submit_text_post, submit_link_post, submit_image_post.
Environment variables:
Variable | Default | Description |
|
| WebSocket URL for the bridge server |
