gated-reach

gated-reach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 52 tokens per session (2,418 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fallback guide for reading a single Reddit thread or tweet when the normal web tools cannot access it. It is intended for retrieving the post and, for Reddit, its text and comment ranking or structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer what a particular Reddit thread or tweet says, identify a post's top comment, or inspect Reddit discussion structure after normal access has failed.
Why use it?
It helps when access restrictions prevent the agent from reading a specific discussion or post through ordinary web fetching.

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

gated-reach 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Measured 2026-07-25, residential network. Ship-tier channels only: Reddit (text, and ranking/structure) and single-tweet reads. Every surface here is undocumented or at-will — re-verify before relying on a number.

Native tools first — this skill is the exception, not the default

Try the host's own web search / fetch first. A pre-registered benchmark found that a prescription layer buys no capability the host already has on ordinary credential-free dev research: native passed 12/12, the prescriptions won 0 outright. This skill exists only for the narrow set where native genuinely cannot reach the content at all.

Fires when one of these is observed, not assumed:

  • reddit.com — the host's web tool refuses the domain (a client-side refusal, not a 403 from Reddit).
  • x.com/<user>/status/<id> — answers HTTP 402.

When the agent should load this

Load this skill when all three hold — anything less and the native tools win:

  1. The target is a Reddit thread permalink or a single tweet URL. Not a timeline, not a search, not a plain web page.
  2. The host's own fetch has actually been refused for that URL (domain refusal, or HTTP 402) — observed this turn, not assumed from this file.
  3. The answer needs the platform's own content, not a report about it. If a summary from a news article or a cross-post would do, native search is cheaper and already sufficient (measured: native recovers canonical tweets 5/6).

Do not load it to explain that a platform is unreachable — that answer needs no skill. Do not load it for YouTube: that channel is parked, and reach:doctor states why in one line.

When to use

  • A Reddit thread's post text or comment text is needed and the domain is refused.
  • Which comment the community actually upvoted, or how replies nest — a flat text feed cannot answer that.
  • A specific tweet URL is in hand and its content is needed verbatim.

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.
