## What it does

The skill documents a Reddit workflow: search chosen subreddits, filter threads by keywords, and prepare replies that read like a person, not an ad. Inside are Python examples using `praw` for the Reddit API and OpenAI calls for text generation. A full-cycle script ties it together: search, filter by score and post age, generate replies for the top threads, save everything to a timestamped JSON file.

Settings live in `config.yaml` or `config.json`: subreddit list, keywords, filters (`min_upvotes`, `max_age_hours`, `exclude_patterns`) and reply options such as tone, max length and value-first ordering. To run it you need `REDDIT_CLIENT_ID`, `REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET`, `REDDIT_USER_AGENT` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` in `.env`. No Reddit and OpenAI keys means the scripts stop at the first call, so register a Reddit app and set up model access first.

The point is a repeatable loop: strategy, logs and source context sit next to each other so you can revisit and adjust. The author advises a helpful tone and value before any mention. It is not an autoposter — the generator hands you a draft, you publish it yourself.
