🧊 IceCube Reddit Scout

Free Reddit monitoring. Integrated with your agent.

GummySearch is dead. F5Bot solves 10% of the workflow. Paid alternatives cost $50-200/month.

IceCube Reddit Scout gives you the other 90% for free.

What This Skill Does

1. Keyword Monitoring

• Track keywords across any subreddit
• Get alerts when mentions appear
• No subscription, no rate limits

2. Context Extraction

• Don't just get alerts — get context
• Auto-extract: thread sentiment, user intent, engagement signals
• Filter noise automatically

3. Lead Identification

• Detect buying intent signals
• "I wish there was a tool for..."
• "Anyone know how to..."
• "Looking for recommendations..."

4. Opportunity Mining

• Find pain points in discussions
• Validate product ideas
• Track competitor mentions

Setup

1. Configure Keywords

Create config/reddit-scout.yaml:

keywords:
  - "openclaw"
  - "AI agent"
  - "memory system"
  - "context window"

subreddits:
  - "r/indiehackers"
  - "r/SaaS"
  - "r/startups"
  - "r/artificial"

filters:
  intent_signals:
    - "wish"
    - "need"
    - "looking for"
    - "recommendations"
    - "alternatives"
  noise_filter:
    - exclude_self_mentions: true
    - min_score: 5
    - exclude_downvoted: true

alerts:
  channels:
    - telegram
    - memory_log
  frequency: 1h

2. Reddit Native Alerts (Free)

Reddit now has built-in keyword alerts. Use them:

1. Go to Reddit settings → Notifications
2. Enable "keyword alerts"
3. Add your keywords
4. Get email notifications

IceCube Reddit Scout reads these emails and extracts context.

3. Polling Mode (Alternative)

If you don't want Reddit alerts:

mode: polling
poll_interval: 30m

Uses Reddit search API to check for new mentions.

Workflow Integration

Step 1: Detection

Agent polls Reddit every 30 minutes (cron job or heartbeat).

Step 2: Extraction

When keyword found:

• Extract thread title, content, score, comments
• Detect intent signal (wish/need/looking_for)
• Calculate relevance score

Step 3: Alerting

If relevance > threshold:

• Write to memory/reddit-mentions/YYYY-MM-DD.md
• Send Telegram notification (if configured)
• Add to unclosed_work.yaml if action needed

Step 4: Response

Agent can:

• Log for later analysis
• Draft reply (human approves)
• Track competitor activity
• Capture pain point for product ideas
