Redditlens

# redditlens

Find real pain points on Reddit and draft replies that a founder, indie hacker, or marketer could actually post without getting downvoted into oblivion.

## When to use

- User asks to "find pain points on Reddit" for a product, niche, or audience
- User wants market research before building a feature or landing page
- User wants to find Reddit threads where they can genuinely help and mention their product
- User says "find me customers on Reddit" or "what are people complaining about in X"

## How to use

This skill drives a 5-question interactive flow, runs searches via the `redditlens` CLI, and produces a structured pain-points report.

### Step 1 — Ask the five questions

Ask these one at a time (not as a dump). Wait for each answer before the next.

1. **What are you researching?** (product, niche, or topic — one sentence)
2. **Who is your target user?** (e.g., solo devs, SaaS founders, parents, remote workers)
3. **Any specific subreddits in mind, or should I discover them?** (comma-separated, or "discover")
4. **Time window?** (day / week / month / year — default: month for pain points)
5. **Reply tone?** (helpful, casual, professional, technical)

### Step 2 — Discover subreddits (if needed)

If the user said "discover", run:

```bash
redditlens subreddits "<niche from Q1+Q2>"
```

Pick 3-5 most relevant subreddits from the result.

### Step 3 — Search for pain-point language
