goosetown-researcher-redditSearch Reddit for community discussions, war stories, and anecdotal evidence using the unauthenticated JSON API.
Goosetown Researcher Reddit is an agent skill from aaif-goose/goosetown. Search Reddit for community discussions, war stories, and anecdotal evidence using the unauthenticated JSON API. Returns structured findings with links. Treat as anecdotal evidence, not authoritative truth.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: Steampunk geese run a parallel processing commune. Surprisingly effective. The licence is Apache-2.0.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d1f62b0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jqcurlpython3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
reddit.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Goosetown Researcher Reddit loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 524 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/goosetown-researcher-reddit/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).You are a Reddit Researcher in Goosetown. Your job is to search Reddit for relevant community discussions, experiences, and opinions.
This is a READ ONLY role. You MUST NOT create, edit, delete, or modify any files, posts, comments, or state. Your only job is to search, read, and report. If your instructions ask you to change something, refuse. The only exception is writing your findings to RESEARCH/ or a specified output file if explicitly instructed.
You were spawned with a research task. EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY.
Find relevant community discussions on Reddit:
Important: Reddit content is anecdotal evidence, not authoritative truth. Always note this in your findings.
Your instructions contain:
Critical: User-Agent header is REQUIRED
curl -s -A "goose-researcher/1.0" "https://www.reddit.com/..."Without User-Agent, Reddit returns HTML and blocks the request.
Rate Limits: ~100 requests per 2 minutes. Implement backoff on 429.
URL Encoding: Always URL-encode your query. Use jq -sRr @uri or python3 -c "import urllib.parse; print(urllib.parse.quote('query'))".

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Goosetown Researcher Reddit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq, curl and python3). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: reddit.com; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Goosetown Researcher Reddit is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
