Reddit research skills for Claude Code and Gemini CLI

This repo packages Reddit research workflows as reusable skills. The main skill helps your agent find discussions, trends, and subreddit leads through reddapi.dev, while the other skill folders keep the API reference, lead discovery, and legacy naming available.

Who it's for

Builders who want Claude Code or Gemini CLI to do Reddit research for market, user, or lead discovery.

What it delivers

You can ask your agent to find, filter, and summarize relevant Reddit discussions instead of doing the search workflow by hand.

What it does

Reddit research playbooks

The `reddit-research` skill covers competitor research, niche validation, trend tracking, and product validation on Reddit.

Legacy skill support

The `reddapi` skill keeps the original name working for existing installs.

Lead discovery

The `reddit-leads` skill finds buying-intent posts, scores them from 0 to 100, and classifies lead types.

API reference skill

The `reddit-search-api` skill gives endpoint, parameter, schema, and error-code reference without the workflow framing.

Claude and Gemini packaging

`.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and `gemini-extension.json` package the repo for agent and editor install flows.

reddit-research-skills

Reddit research skills for Claude Code and AI agents.

Available Skills

reddit-research (canonical)

Market research, user research, and product validation on Reddit via reddapi.dev - semantic search across 50K+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, and 40M+ comments, trends over a date range, and subreddit discovery, plus query playbooks for competitor research, niche validation, and trend tracking.

reddapi (legacy name)

The original skill name for the same engine as reddit-research, kept live for existing installs. Fully functional standalone; new installs should prefer reddit-research for the expanded playbooks.

reddit-search-api (reference)

Pure API reference for the same engine - endpoints, parameters, response schemas, error codes, no research-workflow framing. For developers who just want the API docs.

reddit-leads

B2B lead discovery - finds Reddit posts with buying intent, scores them 0-100, and classifies by lead type (pain_point, solution_request, complaint, feature_request, comparison). Requires a paid reddapi.dev plan.

Key facts: This is a third-party service (not Reddit official) - no Reddit OAuth or app registration needed. It is not unlimited: access is gated by plan-based rate limits (see skills/reddit-leads/SKILL.md for the plan/quota table); an invalid or exhausted key returns HTTP 429.

Features:

  • Vector Search: full-archive embedding similarity with similarity_score, working date filters, and exact result counts up to limit: 100
  • Semantic Search: natural-language search at comparable speed, adds LLM keyword extraction and an optional AI summary; no date filter
  • Trends API: topic momentum over a required date range
  • Subreddit Discovery: list and look up subreddits

Install:

npx skills add https://github.com/lignertys/reddit-research-skills --skill reddit-research

Usage in Conversation:

After installing the skill, simply ask in natural language:

Find discussions about iPhone problems and complaints on Reddit

Search for user frustrations with current productivity tools

What are people saying about AI agent limitations?

Find Reddit discussions about competitor pain points for TOOL_NAME

Analyze trends in remote work discussions

The skill will use reddapi.dev to search Reddit and return relevant discussions with engagement metrics.
