What is reddit-research?

A Reddit research skill that uses local tools to find posts and comments about real user opinions, problems, fixes, comparisons, and trends.

Use it to research what Reddit users recommend, complain about, compare, or use in practice, including tools, hardware, settings, and troubleshooting.

It gathers compact evidence from Reddit instead of leaving you to search posts and comments manually.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00038	$0.01187
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.00475
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00237
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00119

Security

Grade A, and why

reddit-research 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 1mo 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.

Reddit Research

Use the local Reddit tools when the user asks what people on Reddit say, recommend, complain about, compare, or use in real practice.

Tool Choice

Use reddit_pack for most research questions. It searches posts and fetches top comments for a small evidence pack.
Use reddit_search when you only need candidate posts or want to find whether a topic/repo/error was discussed.
Use reddit_thread when the user gives a Reddit URL or one thread from reddit_search looks important.
Use reddit_user when a claim's trustworthiness matters, when the user names an account, or when the strongest evidence rests on one or two accounts.
Use reddit_resolve_subreddits when the user asks where a topic is discussed or when a focused subreddit scope would improve search.
Use reddit_subreddits only for raw subreddit search when ranking is not needed.
Use reddit_url_extract when the user gives an arbitrary Reddit URL, old.reddit URL, post id, or comment id.
Use reddit_trends for "what is currently hot/top/new in r/LocalLLaMA" style questions.

Intent Mapping

opinions: "what do people think", product/tool sentiment, praise vs criticism.
bugs: frequent problems, complaints, failure modes, risks.
fixes: how people solved an error or configuration issue.
compare: A vs B, which tool users pick, migration reasons.
settings: sampler, scheduler, config, parameters, low denoise, hardware settings.
alternatives: replacements for a library, service, app, or workflow.
trends: what topics are surfacing recently.
guides: tutorials, walkthroughs, reproducible setup posts.
hardware: devices, VRAM/RAM, speed, thermals, purchase advice.
general: fallback for broad Reddit research.

Depth

quick: first-pass orientation; fewer posts and comments.
normal: default for most user questions.
deep: use only when the user asks for thorough research; it fetches more comments and costs more tokens/time.

Pagination

Listing tools return a next page: pass after=... line when Reddit supplied a cursor.

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.
