Claude Skill: Reddit Automation (AppleScript)

**Grow your Reddit presence on autopilot** — using AppleScript to control your real Chrome browser. Undetectable by Reddit's anti-bot systems.

What's Inside

Skill	Description
reddit-cultivate	Find rising posts, draft value-first comments, build karma automatically
reddit-post	Submit text/link posts to any subreddit with flair support

Why AppleScript?

Every other automation tool gets detected:

Tool	Problem
Playwright/Selenium/Puppeteer	Sets navigator.webdriver=true — instantly detected
Reddit API + OAuth	Rate limited, requires app registration
curl	IP blocked after a few requests
AppleScript + Chrome	Controls your real browser. Cookies, fingerprint, everything — indistinguishable from you clicking around.

Install

npx skills add PHY041/claude-skill-reddit

Or manually copy the `.claude/skills/` directories into your project.

Requirements

• macOS (AppleScript is macOS-only)
• Google Chrome with "Allow JavaScript from Apple Events" enabled:
  • Chrome → View → Developer → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events
  • Restart Chrome after enabling
• Logged into Reddit in Chrome

Usage

Once installed, just tell Claude Code:

/reddit-cultivate

→ Checks your karma, scans rising posts in target subreddits, drafts thoughtful comments, posts them, and gives you a summary table with links.

Post to r/SideProject about my new open source tool

→ Drafts and submits a Reddit post using the `reddit-post` skill.

How It Works

1. AppleScript sends JavaScript to Chrome's active tab
2. Same-origin fetch hits Reddit's internal API (/api/me.json, /api/comment, /api/submit)
3. Cookies included automatically — you're already logged in
4. Results read back via the document.title trick
