    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Create a Brave Search API account.

    line 24

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

reddit-search

Searches Reddit through the Brave Search API only. No Reddit API, no scraping.

Usage

python3 ~/.claude/skills/reddit-search/scripts/search.py "best mechanical keyboard"
python3 ~/.claude/skills/reddit-search/scripts/search.py "rust vs go" 15 en us --freshness pm
python3 ~/.claude/skills/reddit-search/scripts/search.py "query" --json

Args: "<query>" [count 1-20, default 10] [lang, default en] [country, default us] [--freshness pd|pw|pm|py] [--json]. Output per result: Title, Link, Subreddit, Age, Snippet.

One-time setup

  1. Create a Brave Search API account. A card is required even for the free $5 credit (about 1,000 requests per month).
  2. Store the key in the macOS Keychain (it prompts, so the key never enters shell history): security add-generic-password -s brave-search -a api-key -w Alternative: export BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY.

Monthly cap

Overage is billed to the card, so the script counts requests in ~/.cache/reddit-search/usage-YYYY-MM.json and refuses at 900 per month. Change with BRAVE_MONTHLY_CAP=<number>. A corrupt counter file blocks searching until fixed.

Limits

  • Snippets only. Reddit pages cannot be fetched: Reddit blocks automated fetching, and its verification must not be bypassed.
  • Tell the user to open the links for full threads and comments.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
