What it does
Agent Reach wraps a set of open tools for platform access behind one command: yt-dlp for YouTube, gh for GitHub, Jina Reader for any page, twitter-cli, rdt-cli, OpenCLI and others. The skill carries a routing table so the agent picks the right backend per platform, plus fallback chains when an access path stops working. agent-reach doctor shows which platforms work and what still needs setup. The project only reads and searches; posting and commenting are out of scope.
Who it is for. For researchers, marketers and developers who need an agent to gather discussions and material from social and video platforms.
Good fit when
- You need opinions about a product from Twitter, Reddit and YouTube
- You need video subtitles or a podcast transcript
- You are researching a topic on Chinese platforms like Bilibili and Xiaohongshu
Not a fit when
- You need to post or comment
- You need Russian platforms such as VK or Telegram channels; they are not supported

Twitter, Reddit, Xiaohongshu and some others need cookies from your browser. The skill and README are mostly in Chinese; an English SKILL.md is enabled with AGENT_REACH_LANG=en. Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and Instagram are blocked in some regions and need a proxy, as the README notes.
How to disable. Remove the agent-reach skill from the agent's skills directory and the package with pip uninstall agent-reach. Delete saved cookies from the Agent Reach config.

README in short
The README is in Chinese with an English version at docs/README_en.md. It has a platform table with capabilities and setup level: zero config, auto, cookie or proxy. Install via a prompt for the agent or manually with pip and agent-reach install; the skill registers with agent-reach skill --install. Cookie setup, proxies and diagnostics are covered separately. MIT licensed.
FAQ
Does installation change the system?

Where do cookies go?
Per the README they stay local and are never uploaded.
