Do market research, user research, and product validation on Reddit with semantic search across 50K+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, and 40M+ comments via reddapi.dev - search by meaning, not keywords, no Reddit OAuth or app registration needed. Use when the user wants to research what people say on Reddit, find user pain points and complaints, validate a product or niche idea, do competitor and market research, track subreddit trends over a date range, or discover which subreddits discuss a topic.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# reddit-research Skill ## Overview Reddit is where people complain, compare, and ask for alternatives before they ever fill out a survey. This skill turns that into a queryable research tool via [reddapi.dev](https://reddapi.dev): search by *meaning* across 50,000+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, and 40M+ comments using 1024-dimension vector embeddings - "frustrated with X" finds the frustration even when the post never uses the word "frustrated" - then pull trend momentum and subreddit context around it. **Why reddapi.dev instead of the official Reddit API:** no OAuth flow, no registered app, no `praw`-style setup - just an API key. It's a third-party index, not Reddit itself, so treat it as a research tool, not a replacement for Reddit's own API where official data provenance matters. **Key Advantages:** - ✅ **Semantic, not keyword** - matches intent and phrasing variants a keyword search misses - ✅ **Scale** - 50,000+ subreddits, 20M+ posts, 40M+ comments indexed - ✅ **Zero Reddit setup** - no OAuth, no registered app, no scraping - ✅ **Trend + subreddit context included** - not a separate scrape ## Which Search Mode to Use …

How to install
mdr add lignertys/reddit-research-skills/reddit-research@sha256:472a8a4fc168265dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.a1f9f97, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
