  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Reddit search results

What it does

Browsing Reddit is an agent skill from browsing-skills/browsing-skills. Use when the user wants to interact with Reddit — extract subreddit feeds, Reddit search results, post/thread data with comments, user profile activity, or logged-in personal lists such as saved/upvoted posts. Works on reddit.com public pages without login for most actions; logged-in lists require the user's existing browser session. Use a real browser or Chrome Bridge because Reddit is a JavaScript-rendered app and may challenge plain fetches.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/current-user-list.md`, `references/post-thread.md` and `references/search.md`).

It works with Reddit and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Open-source registry of browser-automation skills for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to interact with Reddit — extract subreddit feeds
  • Reddit search results
  • Post/thread data with comments
  • User profile activity

Example prompts

  • “/browsing-reddit”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07855b5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Browsing Reddit loads about 550 tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~550
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.4k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Reddit — Browsing Skill

Use this index to choose the Reddit action that matches the user request, then open only the linked reference file for the complete navigation, requirements, code, and return shape.

Action Index

  • subreddit-feed — Extract visible posts from a subreddit feed such as hot, new, top, rising, or controversial. Full spec: references/subreddit-feed.md.
  • search — Search Reddit globally or within a subreddit and extract visible result posts, communities, users, and comments when present. Full spec: references/search.md.
  • post-thread — Extract a Reddit post plus visible nested comments, including comment depth, author, score, created time, permalinks, and body text. Full spec: references/post-thread.md.
  • user-profile — Extract visible profile metadata and recent visible user activity from a Reddit user page. Full spec: references/user-profile.md.
  • current-user-list — Extract visible items from logged-in personal Reddit lists such as saved, upvoted, downvoted, hidden, and history. Full spec: references/current-user-list.md.

Notes

  • These actions are read-only. They do not vote, save, hide, join communities, send messages, post comments, or change account settings.
  • Reddit virtualizes long feeds. Each action extracts the currently loaded visible items; scroll or load more before running when the user needs deeper coverage.
  • Prefer Chrome Bridge when the page depends on the user's existing logged-in Chrome session or when Reddit presents a challenge page to new browser contexts.
