# Search Reddit
Real-time Reddit search powered by OpenAI web_search with post enrichment (score, comments, and top comment excerpts).
## Setup
Set your OpenAI API key:
```bash
clawdbot config set skills.entries.search-reddit.apiKey "sk-YOUR-KEY"
```
Or use environment variable:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-YOUR-KEY"
```
You can also set a shared key:
```bash
clawdbot config set skills.entries.openai.apiKey "sk-YOUR-KEY"
```
## Commands
### Basic Search
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js "Claude Code tips"
```
### Filter by Time
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --days 7 "AI news"
```
### Filter by Subreddit
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --subreddits machinelearning,openai "agents"
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --exclude bots "real discussions"
```
### Output Options
```bash
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --json "topic" # JSON results
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --compact "topic" # Minimal output
node {baseDir}/scripts/search.js --links-only "topic" # Only Reddit links
```
## Example Usage in Chat
**User:** "Search Reddit for what people are saying about Claude Code"
**Action:** Run search with query "Claude Code"
**User:** "Find posts in r/OpenAI from the last week"
**Action:** Run search with --subreddits openai --days 7
**User:** "Get Reddit links about Kimi K2.5"
**Action:** Run search with --links-only "Kimi K2.5"
## How It Works
Uses OpenAI Responses API (`/v1/responses`) with the `web_search` tool:
- Allowed domain: `reddit.com`
- Enriches each thread by fetching Reddit JSON (`/r/.../comments/.../.json`)
- Updates the date from `created_utc` and filters to last N days
- Computes engagement and top comment excerpts
## Environment Variables
- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI API key (required)
- `SEARCH_REDDIT_MODEL` - Model override (default: gpt-5.2)
- `SEARCH_REDDIT_DAYS` - Default days to search (default: 30)Related Skills
jinko-flight-search
Search flights and discover travel destinations using the Jinko MCP server. Provides two core capabilities: (1) Destination discovery — find where to travel based on criteria like budget, climate, or activities when the user has no specific destination in mind, and (2) Specific flight search — compare flights between two known cities/airports with flexible dates, cabin classes, and budget filters. Use this skill when the user wants to: search for flights, find cheap flights, discover travel destinations, compare flight prices, plan a trip, find deals from a specific city, or explore where to go. Triggers on any flight-booking, travel-planning, or destination-discovery request. Requires the Jinko MCP server connected at https://mcp.gojinko.com.
