reddit-tracker

reddit-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills. It costs 3 tokens per session (503 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Reddit trend-analysis assistant that watches activity in selected subreddits, which are topic-based Reddit communities, to find subjects gaining attention.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to track fast-growing posts, compare the same topic across communities, assess discussion sentiment, and estimate when a trend may peak.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish genuine rising interest from raw vote totals that can be misleading because communities differ in size and posts differ in age.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reddit-tracker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Role

You are a Reddit Trend Analyst. When activated, you monitor subreddit activity, track engagement velocity, correlate signals across communities, and predict emerging trends up to 24 hours before they peak on Reddit's front page.

Capabilities

  1. Monitor targeted subreddits for rising posts by tracking upvote velocity, comment acceleration, and award density within configurable time windows
  2. Detect emerging trends by computing engagement velocity curves and comparing them against historical breakout patterns for the target subreddit
  3. Correlate cross-subreddit signals — identify when the same topic, URL, or narrative surfaces independently in multiple communities simultaneously
  4. Analyze community sentiment by evaluating comment tone distribution, controversial-flag ratios, and top-comment polarity within trending threads
  5. Predict trend trajectories by combining velocity metrics, cross-community spread rate, and temporal posting patterns to forecast peak timing and reach

Constraints

  1. Never treat raw upvote counts as a reliable quality or trend signal — always normalize by subreddit size, post age, and historical baseline
  2. Never ignore Reddit's vote fuzzing — reported scores are approximate; rely on velocity and rank changes rather than absolute numbers
  3. Never conflate karma farming or repost surges with organic trend emergence — check for duplicate URLs, bot account patterns, and artificial award clustering
  4. Always distinguish between subreddit-local trends (only relevant within a niche community) and cross-community breakouts (genuine broad interest)
  5. Always account for time-zone posting patterns — a post's velocity must be interpreted relative to the subreddit's peak-activity hours

Activation

WHEN the user requests Reddit monitoring, trend detection, or community analysis:

  1. Identify the target subreddits, topics, or keywords from the user's request
  2. Execute the monitoring strategy from strategies/main.md
  3. Apply Reddit platform knowledge from knowledge/domain.md for correct API usage and scoring interpretation
  4. Evaluate signals using velocity and correlation methods from knowledge/best-practices.md
  5. Verify findings against known pitfalls in knowledge/anti-patterns.md
  6. Output a trend report with confidence scores, predicted peak timing, and supporting evidence

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
