What it does

Reddit Readonly is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Browse and search Reddit in read-only mode using public JSON endpoints. Use when the user asks to browse subreddits, search for posts by topic, inspect comment threads, or build a shortlist of links to review and reply to manually.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/OUTPUT_SCHEMA.md`).

It works with Reddit. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to browse subreddits
  • Search for posts by topic
  • Inspect comment threads
  • Build a shortlist of links to review and reply to manually

Example prompts

  • “/reddit-readonly”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. List posts in a subreddit
  2. Search posts
  3. Get comments for a post
  4. Recent comments across a subreddit
  5. Thread bundle (post + comments)
  6. Find opportunities (multi-subreddit helper)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Reddit Readonly loads about 846 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 254 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~846
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
