Read a Reddit post and its comment thread from inside your agent session.
Built because agents (especially Claude Code) can struggle to interact with Reddit, due to the aggressive anti-LLM-scraping policies. This reads it through Reddit's API instead.

npx skills update reddit-read # later, to pull updatesNeeds Python 3 and curl. Restart your agent session so it picks the skill up.

Two requests per thread — one to mint a token, one GET /comments/<id> —
rendered as markdown with the comment tree indented.
The token is an anonymous installed_client grant: no account, public data
only, nothing a logged-out visitor can't see. It authenticates with the Reddit
Android app's client id, which is a public OAuth client — the id ships
inside the APK and the Basic auth password is empty. It does mean these requests identify as the Reddit app rather than
as you.
On HTTP 429 it stops and tells you to wait. It never mints a second token to buy a fresh rate-limit budget.
