Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Reddit Post Finder Scrape Reddit posts and comments using the Apify `trudax/reddit-scraper-lite` actor. ## Quick Start Requires `APIFY_API_TOKEN` env var (or `--token` flag). ```bash # Top posts from r/growthhacking in last week python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \ --subreddit growthhacking --days 7 --sort top --time week # Hot posts from multiple subreddits python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \ --subreddit "growthhacking,gtmengineering" --days 7 --sort hot # Keyword-filtered competitor tracking python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \ --subreddit LLMDevs \ --keywords "Langfuse,Arize,Langsmith" \ --days 30 # Human-readable summary table python3 skills/reddit-post-finder/scripts/search_reddit.py \ --subreddit growthhacking --days 7 --output summary ``` ## How the Script Works 1. Builds full Reddit URLs for each subreddit (e.g. `https://www.reddit.com/r/growthhacking/top/?t=week`) 2. Calls the Apify `trudax/reddit-scraper-lite` actor via REST API 3. Polls until the run completes, then fetches the dataset 4. Applies client-side keyword and date filtering 5. Sorts by upvotes (descending) and outputs JSON or summary ##

What does the reddit-post-finder skill do?
Scrape and search Reddit posts using Apify. Use when you need to find Reddit discussions, track competitor mentions, monitor product feedback, discover pain points, or analyze subreddit content. Supports keyword filtering, time-based searches, and subreddit-specific queries.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills --skill reddit-post-finder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From gooseworks-ai/goose-skills, a repository with 1,091 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
