# Reddit Sentiment Skill
## When to use
Trigger this skill when the user says:
- "Refresh Reddit sentiment" / "Pull retail chatter"
- "How loud is WSB on AUPH right now?" / "What's r/CryptoCurrency saying about ETH?"
- "Refresh sentiment for the watchlist"
- "Show me the Reddit cache"
Do NOT trigger for:
- Single-shot agent-side lookups during analysis (use WebFetch directly on the post URL — faster for one post mid-conversation)
- Professional news (use `us-news`, `klse-news` instead — different signal category)
- StockTwits or other retail sources (separate skills)
## Why this exists
The doctrine's §4 confluence has technicals + fundamentals + news (professional) + positioning. Retail forum sentiment is a **distinct signal category** — most useful as a **contrarian filter**, not an additive bull signal. Extreme retail bullishness alongside extended technicals is a fade signal; extreme retail bearishness with a constructive P1 setup is a capitulation-buy signal. Mid-range sentiment is no-op (most names land here, which is correct).
This skill uses Reddit's OAuth API when `REDDIT_CLIENT_ID`/`REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET` are configured (real per-post/per-comment `score` values, full engagement weighting) and falls back to Reddit's public RSS feed (`search.rss`) when they aren't. RSS carries no scores — posts/comments come back with `score=None`, so the RSS leg's engagement weighting is flat (mention count + velocity only, no upvote-based ranking).
This is the **raw fetcher**.
