How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one pass over the watchlist per run, within the 100 requests per minute limit.
- 01
Load watchlist
Your agent reads the subreddits, queries and sort options to pull.
- 02
Pull posts
It runs get_posts.py for each subreddit with the chosen sort and limit.
- 03
Search
It runs search_posts.py for your tracked queries, scoped to a subreddit when set.
- 04
Fetch details
It pulls a post and its comments with get_post.py when a thread matters.
- 05
Record
It writes the new posts and the last ids to the run log.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inloops/reddit-subreddit-watch-loop/**
- Talks toreddit.com
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the Reddit skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ pulling posts from a subreddit
- ✓ searching Reddit for a topic
- ✓ reading a thread's comments
Skip it when
- – you need to post or vote, not read
- – the content is not on Reddit
Reddit skill, answered.
Do I need a Reddit API key?

Is there a rate limit?
Yes, about 100 requests per minute, so the loop keeps each pass within it.
How do I install the Reddit skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from resciencelab/opc-skills and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add resciencelab/opc-skills --skill reddit.
