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-post-finder scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/search_reddit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Reddit Post Finder

Scrape Reddit posts and comments using the Apify trudax/reddit-scraper-lite actor.

Quick Start

Requires APIFY_API_TOKEN env var (or --token flag).

# Top posts from r/growthhacking in last week
python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \
  --subreddit growthhacking --days 7 --sort top --time week

# Hot posts from multiple subreddits
python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \
  --subreddit "growthhacking,gtmengineering" --days 7 --sort hot

# Keyword-filtered competitor tracking
python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \
  --subreddit LLMDevs \
  --keywords "Langfuse,Arize,Langsmith" \
  --days 30

# Human-readable summary table
python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \
  --subreddit growthhacking --days 7 --output summary

How the Script Works

  1. Builds full Reddit URLs for each subreddit (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/growthhacking/top/?t=week)
  2. Calls the Apify trudax/reddit-scraper-lite actor via REST API
  3. Polls until the run completes, then fetches the dataset
  4. Applies client-side keyword and date filtering
  5. Sorts by upvotes (descending) and outputs JSON or summary

CLI Reference

Flag Default Description
--subreddit required Subreddit name(s), comma-separated
--keywords none Keywords to filter (comma-separated, OR logic)
--days 30 Only include posts from the last N days
--max-posts 50 Max posts to scrape per subreddit
--sort top Sort: hot, top, new, rising
--time week Time window for top sort: hour, day, week, month, year, all
--output json Output format: json or summary
--token env var Apify token (prefer APIFY_API_TOKEN env var)
--timeout 300 Max seconds to wait for the Apify run

Tips for Small Subreddits

Small or low-traffic subreddits (e.g. r/gtmengineering) may return zero posts with --sort hot because the hot feed is nearly empty. Use --sort top --time week (or month) instead — this scrapes the top-ranked posts over the time window and reliably returns results.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
