1	# Reddit Posting Skill (AppleScript Chrome Control)
2
3	Post to Reddit by controlling the user's real Chrome via AppleScript. No Playwright, no Selenium, no API tokens.
4
5	---
6
7	## How It Works
8
9	```
10	Claude Code → osascript → Chrome (real browser, logged in) → Reddit /api/submit
11	```
12
13	- Same-origin fetch with cookies → undetectable
14	- Reddit's `/api/submit` endpoint for text/link posts
15	- Modhash from `/api/me.json` for CSRF protection
16
17	---
18
19	## Prerequisites
20
21	- macOS only (AppleScript is a macOS technology)
22	- Chrome: View → Developer → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events (restart Chrome after enabling)
23	- User logged into Reddit in Chrome
24
25	---
26
27	## Method Detection (Run First)
28
29	```bash
30	WINDOWS=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Google Chrome" to return count of windows' 2>/dev/null)
31	if [ "$WINDOWS" = "0" ] \|\| [ -z "$WINDOWS" ]; then
32	echo "METHOD 2 (System Events + Console)"
33	else
34	echo "METHOD 1 (execute javascript)"
35	fi
36	```
37
38	See `reddit-cultivate` skill for full Method 1 vs Method 2 details.
39
40	---
41
42	## Posting Workflow
43
44	### Step 1: Get Modhash
45
46	```bash
47	osascript -e 'tell application "Google Chrome" to tell active tab of first window to execute javascript "fetch(\"/api/me.json\",{credentials:\"include\"}).then(r=>r.json()).then(d=>{document.title=\"UH:\"+d.data.modhash})"'
48	sleep 2
49	osascript -e 'tell application "Google Chrome" to return title of active tab of first window'
50	```
51
52	### Step 2: Submit Post
53
54	Navigate Chrome to reddit.com first (same-origin requirement), then submit:
55
56	```javascript
57	(async()=>{
58	try {
59	let body = new URLSearchParams({
60	sr: "SideProject", // subreddit name (no r/ prefix)
61	kind: "self", // "self" for text, "link" for URL
62	title: "Your post title",
63	text: "Your post body with markdown support",
64	uh: "MODHASH_HERE",
65	api_type: "json",
66	resubmit: "true"
67	});
68	let resp = await fetch("/api/submit", {
69	method: "POST",
70	credentials: "include",
71	headers: {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
72	body: body.toString()
73	});
74	let result = await resp.json();
75	document.title = "POSTED:" + JSON.stringify(result);
76	} catch(e) {
77	document.title = "ERR:" + e.message;
78	}
79	})()
80	```
81
82	For link posts, change:
83	```javascript
84	kind: "link",
85	url: "https://github.com/your/repo", // instead of text
86	```
87
88	### Step 3: Extract Post Link
89
90	The response contains `result.json.data.url` — the direct link to the new post.
91
92	### Step 4: Add Flair (if required)
93
94	Some subreddits require flair. After posting, use:
95
96	```javascript
97	(async()=>{
98	try {
99	// First get available flairs
100	let resp = await fetch("/r/SUBREDDIT/api/link_flair_v2", {credentials: "include"});
101	let flairs = await resp.json();
102	document.title = "FLAIRS:" + JSON.stringify(flairs.map(f => ({id: f.id, text: f.text})));
103	} catch(e) {
104	document.title = "ERR:" + e.message;
105	}
106	})()
107	```
108
109	Then apply flair:
110	```javascript
111	(async()=>{
112	try {
113	let body = new URLSearchParams({
114	link: "t3_POST_ID",
115	flair_template_id: "FLAIR_ID",
116	uh: "MODHASH"
117	});
118	await fetch("/api/selectflair", {
119	method: "POST",
120	credentials: "include",
121	headers: {"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"},
122	body: body.toString()
123	});
124	document.title = "FLAIR_SET";
125	} catch(e) {
126	document.title = "ERR:" + e.message;
127	}
128	})()
129	```
130
131	### Step 5: Session Summary
132
133	Always end with the post link:
134
135	\| Sub \| Title \| Post Link \|
136	\|-----\|-------\|-----------\|
137	\| r/SideProject \| "Your title" \| https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/abc123/... \|
138
139	---
140
141	## Spam Filter Avoidance
142
143	### Words to AVOID in titles/body
144
145	\| Avoid \| Use Instead \|
146	\|-------\|-------------\|
147	\| crawl, crawled, crawling \| compiled, cataloged, indexed, collected \|
148	\| scrape, scraping \| gathered, extracted, retrieved \|
149	\| bot, automated \| tool, script, program \|
150	\| free (overused) \| open source, MIT licensed \|
151	\| hack, hacks \| tips, techniques, methods \|
152
153	### Content Triggers to Avoid
154	- Multiple external links (max 1-2)
155	- URL shorteners (bit.ly, tinyurl)
156	- New account + promotional content
157	- Same content across multiple subreddits quickly
158	- Excessive self-promotion language
159
