What it does

Rdt CLI is an agent skill from public-clis/rdt-cli. Use rdt-cli for ALL Reddit operations — browsing feeds, reading posts, searching, viewing users, upvoting, saving, and subscribing. Invoke whenever the user requests any Reddit interaction.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 43 other files (for example `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `.github/workflows/publish.yml` and `README.md`).

It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: Reddit in your terminal 📖 — Browse feeds, read posts, search, upvote, save, subscribe.

When your agent uses it

  • Requests any Reddit interaction

Example prompts

  • “/rdt-cli”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if already authenticated
  2. Guide user to authenticate
  3. Handle common auth issues

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e4fb37. 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

    Ships script files (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq
    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Rdt CLI loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 860 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 860 words (~2,130 tokens).
