Use this skill

Your agent runs on

Adds every file the skill has, pinned so you can update it. No account needed.

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"
decimalai skills add valtterimelkko-scraping-reddit
claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

The same install from Python, for a notebook or a setup script.

Install

pip install "decimalai>=0.15"

Add the skill

from decimalai import skillpkg

# Writes .agents/skills and .decimal/skills.toml. Safe to run twice.
result = skillpkg.add("valtterimelkko-scraping-reddit")
if result.exit_code:
    raise SystemExit(result.problems)

print("Added. Start Claude Code with the command below.")

Start Claude Code with it

claude --plugin-dir "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/.agents"

Type these in a Claude Code session. No account or API key. It writes the skill and any files it bundles, and asks first when its safety rating isn't Passed.

Add the DecimalAI plugin, once

/plugin marketplace add decimal-labs/decimalai-claude-plugins
/plugin install decimalai@decimalai

Install this skill

/decimalai:install valtterimelkko-scraping-reddit

The plugin needs python3 and curl on your machine.

No Python or account. Claude Code picks it up in its next session.

Save it into your project

curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .claude/skills/valtterimelkko-scraping-reddit/SKILL.md https://app.decimal.ai/s/valtterimelkko-scraping-reddit/SKILL.md

Copy SKILL.md

Save it in your project, as

Skill: Reddit SaaS Opportunity Hunter

Production-quality Reddit scraping toolkit for discovering unaddressed user frustrations and emerging market trends for software development.

Overview

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for Reddit-based SaaS opportunity discovery through three distinct layers:

Navigation - Where to look (subreddit discovery, wiki scanning, contributor analysis)
Extraction - What to pull (high-intent patterns, sentiment scoring, velocity tracking)
Synthesis - How to interpret (trend persistence, cross-pollination, opportunity scoring)

Prerequisites

Required Credentials

The skill uses the same credential hierarchy as saas-idea-finder:

Environment variables (highest priority)
Optional vault/secret store (for service users like openclaw)
Shell startup file such as ~/.bashrc (fallback)

Environment variables:

export REDDIT_PROXY_URL="http://user:pass@proxy:8080"  # Residential proxy (recommended)
export REDDIT_CLIENT_ID="your_reddit_app_id"           # OAuth2 (optional, for higher rate limits)
export REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET="your_reddit_app_secret"   # OAuth2 (optional)

Optional vault/secret store setup:

vault kv put secret/skills-apis/reddit/proxy_url value="http://user:pass@proxy:8080"
vault kv put secret/skills-apis/reddit/client_id value="your_client_id"
vault kv put secret/skills-apis/reddit/client_secret value="your_client_secret"

Rate Limits

Unauthenticated: ~10 requests/minute (6 second delays)
OAuth2 Authenticated: 100 requests/minute (0.6 second delays)
With Residential Proxy: More reliable access, less blocking

Quick Start

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from scripts import RedditScraper, OpportunityAnalyzer

async def main():
    # Initialize scraper (auto-loads credentials)
    scraper = RedditScraper()
    
    # Fetch posts from a subreddit
    posts = await scraper.get_subreddit_posts("startups", limit=50)
    
    # Analyze for opportunities
    analyzer = OpportunityAnalyzer()
    for post in posts:
        analysis = analyzer.analyze_post(post)
        if analysis["intent_signals"]:
            print(f"💡 Opportunity: {post.title}")
            print(f"   Problem: {analysis['problem_statement']}")
    
    await scraper.close()

asyncio.run(main())

High-Level Synthesis

from scripts import RedditScraper, IdeaSynthesizer

async def main():
    scraper = RedditScraper()
    synthesizer = IdeaSynthesizer(scraper)
    
    # Comprehensive analysis across multiple subreddits
    report = await synthesizer.analyze_opportunity(
        subreddits=["startups", "SaaS", "Entrepreneur"],
        known_competitors=["Salesforce", "HubSpot"],
        min_opportunity_score=60
    )
    
    print(f"Found {report['high_opportunity_count']} high-opportunity signals")
    print(f"Average score: {report['summary']['average_opportunity_score']}")
    
    for opp in report['opportunities'][:5]:
        signal = opp['opportunity']
        print(f"\n🎯 {signal['opportunity_score']}/100 - {signal['priority'].upper()}")
        print(f"   Problem: {signal['problem_statement'][:100]}...")
        print(f"   Action: {signal['recommended_action']}")
    
    await scraper.close()

Tactical Navigation Functions

Find Relevant Subreddits

from scripts import RedditScraper, RedditNavigator

scraper = RedditScraper()
navigator = RedditNavigator(scraper)

# Find "watering holes" for your target audience
subreddits = await navigator.get_relevant_subreddits(
    niche_keyword="ecommerce",

    print(f"   Relevance: {sub['relevance_score']:.1f}")
    print(f"   Activity: {sub['activity_ratio']:.3f}")

Scan Community Wiki for Pain Points

# Extract FAQs and common questions (literally lists of pain points)
wiki_analysis = await navigator.scan_community_wiki("startups")

print(f"Found {wiki_analysis['pain_point_count']} pain points:")
for pain in wiki_analysis['pain_points'][:10]:
    print(f"  • {pain}")

print(f"\nCommon questions:")
for q in wiki_analysis['common_questions'][:10]:
    print(f"  • {q}")

Identify Top Contributors

# Find "power users" who spark high-engagement debates
contributors = await navigator.identify_top_contributors(
    subreddit="startups",
    limit=15,
    activity_lookback=100
)

for c in contributors[:5]:

    print(f"   Avg engagement: {c['avg_engagement_per_post']}")
    print(f"   Quality score: {c['quality_score']}")

Recursive Comment Threading

# Fetch nested comments looking for "I agree" chains
thread_analysis = await navigator.recursive_comment_threading(
    subreddit="startups",
    post_id="abc123",
    max_depth=5
)

print(f"Total comments: {thread_analysis['total_comments']}")

Data Models

ScrapedPost

@dataclass
class ScrapedPost:
    id: str
    platform: str
    title: str
    body: str
    url: str
    author: str
    engagement: int           # Upvotes/score

    is_high_opportunity: bool = False

OpportunitySignal

@dataclass
class OpportunitySignal:
    opportunity_score: float      # 0-100
    priority: str                 # high, medium, low, monitor

Testing

Run Tests

# All tests
python3 tests/run_tests.py

# Skip API calls (structural tests only)
python3 tests/run_tests.py --quick

# Analysis tests only
python3 tests/run_tests.py --analysis

# Scraper tests only
python3 tests/run_tests.py --scraper

Quality Thresholds

Tests validate:

Intent detection: >90% accuracy on test cases
Frustration scoring: Within expected ranges
Data quality: >15% pain point detection rate
API reliability: <10% failure rate

Pro Tips

The "Negative Search"

Don't just search for what people want. Search for "I'm quitting [Product]":

# This finds ready-to-churn users and tells you what NOT to build
churn_signals = find_churn_signals(posts, target_products=["CompetitorX"])

for signal in churn_signals:
    print(f"Why they're leaving: {signal['context']}")
    # Build the OPPOSITE of these complaints

High Comment-to-Upvote Ratio

Posts with high comments relative to upvotes often indicate:

Controversial topics
Deeply felt problems
Active pain points

controversial = find_controversial_posts(posts, min_ratio=0.3)
# These are goldmines for SaaS opportunities

Cross-Niche Validation

If the same problem exists in r/EtsySellers AND r/AmazonFBA:

It's likely a universal pain point
Solution can potentially serve both markets
Higher total addressable market

report = await cross_analyzer.find_cross_pollination("EtsySellers", "AmazonFBA")
if report.similarity_score > 0.3:
    print("Cross-niche opportunity detected!")

Error Handling

The scraper implements multiple resilience patterns:

Circuit Breaker: Prevents cascading failures after 3 consecutive errors
Exponential Backoff: 2^attempt seconds between retries
User-Agent Rotation: 7 realistic browser UAs
Proxy Support: Automatic via credential hierarchy
Shadowban Detection: Detects and works around blocks
Old Reddit Fallback: Falls back to old.reddit.com on 403s

Troubleshooting

"No proxy configured" Warning

Reddit may block cloud/datacenter IPs. Set up a residential proxy:

export REDDIT_PROXY_URL="http://user:[email protected]:8080"

Rate Limiting (429 Errors)

The scraper automatically handles 429s with exponential backoff. To reduce frequency:

Use OAuth2 credentials (100 req/min vs 10 req/min)
Use a residential proxy
Increase min_delay in scraper initialization

Empty Results

If you get empty results:

Check if OAuth2 is configured (some endpoints require auth)
Try different subreddits (some block API access)
Check the subreddit actually exists and is public
