Reddit Research Agent Skill

An agent-style workflow for researching Reddit demand, user pain points, market signals, competitor discussion, objections, buying intent, and product opportunities from posts and comments.

This repository contains a portable SKILL.md that can be installed into a Codex/agent skills directory and reused as a repeatable research method.

What It Does

• Converts a broad research request into a concrete Reddit research plan.
• Uses three context-isolated sub-agents:
  • Search Strategy Agent
  • Evidence Collection Agent
  • Insight Report Agent
• Preserves source traceability and original user language.
• Separates demand, sentiment, curiosity, and virality.
• Outputs a short chat brief or full traceable files:
  • report.txt
  • insights.csv
  • raw.json

When To Use

Use this skill when you need to research:

• Reddit user pain points
• alternatives and workarounds
• competitor comparisons
• product opportunity signals
• market language and objections
• buying intent or replacement intent
• topic opportunities from Reddit evidence

Do not use it for general web search, content writing, or social-media copy without research.

Installation

Copy this folder into your skills directory, for example:

cp -R reddit-research-agent-skill ~/.codex/skills/reddit-research-agent

Then restart or refresh your agent environment so the skill list is reloaded.

Output Contract

For full research tasks, the skill should produce:

report.txt
insights.csv
raw.json

See templates/insights-schema.csv for the expected insight columns.
