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-readonly 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check.py, scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs), 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.

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 Readonly

Read-only Reddit browsing for Clawdbot.

What this skill is for

  • Finding posts in one or more subreddits (hot/new/top/controversial/rising)
  • Searching for posts by query (within a subreddit or across all)
  • Pulling a comment thread for context
  • Producing a shortlist of permalinks so the user can open Reddit and reply manually

Hard rules

  • Read-only only. This skill never posts, replies, votes, or moderates.
  • Be polite with requests:
    • Prefer small limits (5–10) first.
    • Expand only if needed.
  • When returning results to the user, always include permalinks.

Output format

All commands print JSON to stdout.

  • Success: { "ok": true, "data": ... }
  • Failure: { "ok": false, "error": { "message": "...", "details": "..." } }

Commands

1) List posts in a subreddit

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs posts <subreddit> \
  --sort hot|new|top|controversial|rising \
  --time day|week|month|year|all \
  --limit 10 \
  --after <token>

2) Search posts

# Search within a subreddit
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs search <subreddit> "<query>" --limit 10

# Search all of Reddit
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs search all "<query>" --limit 10

3) Get comments for a post

# By post id or URL
node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs comments <post_id|url> --limit 50 --depth 6

4) Recent comments across a subreddit

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs recent-comments <subreddit> --limit 25

5) Thread bundle (post + comments)

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs thread <post_id|url> --commentLimit 50 --depth 6

6) Find opportunities (multi-subreddit helper)

Use this when the user describes criteria like: "Find posts about X in r/a, r/b, and r/c posted in the last 48 hours, excluding Y".

node {baseDir}/scripts/reddit-readonly.mjs find \
  --subreddits "python,learnpython" \
  --query "fastapi deployment" \
  --include "docker,uvicorn,nginx" \
  --exclude "homework,beginner" \
  --minScore 2 \
  --maxAgeHours 48 \
  --perSubredditLimit 25 \
  --maxResults 10 \
  --rank new

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
