Reddit Research

Use this skill when the user wants Reddit-native discussion context that does not show up well in public APIs or generic news search.

Workflow

1. Use browser_site with Reddit adapters that exist in the runtime catalog. Prefer exact adapters such as:
   • reddit/search
   • reddit/hot
   • reddit/thread
2. Read references/adapter-examples.md when you need concrete adapter call patterns or fallback behavior.
3. Extract:
   • recurring narratives
   • crowd positioning or meme intensity
   • whether discussion is broad, ironic, bullish, or fearful
4. Pair with sentiment-analysis if a weighted conclusion is needed.

Rules

• Do not guess undocumented reddit/* adapters. If the runtime catalog does not expose the adapter you want, say so and use the closest listed adapter instead.
• Treat Reddit as fast retail signal, not as a verified primary source.
• Separate memes, jokes, and sarcasm from actual thesis statements.
