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.

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.git

Then install Python dependencies:

cd reddit-skills
uv sync

Step 2: Install the browser extension

The extension lets the AI operate Reddit in your browser using your real login session.

  1. Open Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions/

  2. Enable Developer mode (top right)

  3. Click Load unpacked, select this project's extension/ directory

  4. Confirm 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

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.py

Configure 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.
