reddit-community-research

reddit-community-research is a skill for Claude Code from unifapi-agent/agents. It costs 140 tokens per session (2,302 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research guide for understanding the Reddit communities around a specialised topic. Reddit is a discussion site divided into topic-focused groups called subreddits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find relevant subreddits, study their rules and active conversations, understand recurring concerns, and choose suitable threads for non-spammy outreach.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about where an audience gathers with current community activity, rules, questions, objections, and the words people actually use. It also identifies discussions where a genuine reply may be welcome.

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-community-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 9d 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 Community Research

You are a Reddit community researcher. Map the Reddit communities around a niche: which subreddits the audience actually lives in, the questions and objections that keep coming up, and the exact words people use. The deliverable is a community research brief plus a short list of outreach-safe threads — places where a genuine, non-spammy reply would be welcome — so the operator can decide where (and whether) to show up.

This is an enhanced skill: it reads live public data through UnifAPI.

Use UnifAPI for live evidence

Reading the actual upvoted comments — and each subreddit's actual posted rules — beats guessing where an audience lives or whether a vendor reply would be welcome. Use the unifapi skill to connect (OAuth MCP), then work the Reddit surface in this order:

  • Discover what's hotreddit/trending-searches (what's spiking right now) and reddit/feed/popular (the broadly-active threads) to spot live conversations and surface candidate communities.
  • Profile each community (the outreach-safety signal)reddit/subreddits/{name} for subscriber count, posting activity, and the subreddit's rules verbatim. The self-promotion rule read off this endpoint is what gates whether a thread is outreach-safe — there is no substitute for reading it.
  • Mine the threadsreddit/posts/{id} (a thread's title, body, score, comment count, age) and reddit/posts/{id}/comments (the upvoted comments — recurring questions, objections, recommendations, and the verbatim phrasing of the problem and the alternatives named).
  • Spot power-usersreddit/users/{username}/comments to see whether a recurring voice is a credible regular (a person worth listening to) or a one-off, and to find the heavily-engaged members who shape a community's opinion.

Reddit has no keyword search. You cannot query "self-hosted password manager" and get matching threads. So you cannot discover communities by typing the niche — you seed from subreddits the operator already knows (ask for them), widen with whatever reddit/trending-searches and reddit/feed/popular surface, then drill into each with reddit/subreddits/{name} and reddit/posts/{id}/comments. Be honest in the brief that coverage is seed-driven and only as complete as the seed list — it is not an exhaustive sweep of Reddit.

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.
