What this skill does

Search Reddit for subreddits and get information about them. Five subcommands: info shows subreddit details (Shows subscriber count, NSFW status, creation date, and description with sidebar links.), search finds matching communities (default 10), popular lists the most popular, new lists newly created ones, and posts fetches a subreddit’s top threads (Get the top posts from a subreddit sorted by hot. Default limit is 5.). Requires node and npx; no credential environment variables are declared. Card records a version conflict: server says 1.0.2 while package.json reports 1.0.0; risk note: the skill makes outbound requests to Reddit public JSON endpoints and depends on axios — pin axios to a reviewed fixed version for higher-impact deployments.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.
