## What it does

reddit-search gives an agent a bounded way to research public Reddit. It can discover posts and communities from keywords or URLs, inspect comments in selected threads, collect subreddit content, and review activity from a specifically named public profile. Results are kept as JSON under `.postplus/`, with raw records and source links available for review.

The skill uses separate routes for discovery, thread comments, subreddit posts, and public-user activity: `reddit-search`, `reddit-post-comments`, `reddit-subreddit-posts`, and `reddit-user-activity`. It starts with a narrow pass, checks relevance, and limits follow-up work. Login, posting, private-data enrichment, deleted-content recovery, media downloads, and automated sentiment analysis are outside its scope. A run stops when PostPlus credits are insufficient.
