Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a simple Python tool that helps me find Reddit posts where people are talking about problems, struggles, frustrations, or asking for advice around a topic I type in. I want to run it from the command line with a single keyword or phrase, like fitness or "mental health", and if I do not pass anything it should default to something like productivity.
It should try Reddit search first, then fall back to other web search methods if needed, and still give me something useful even when results are limited. Save the results to a CSV with the post title and direct Reddit URL, and print a short summary in the terminal showing how many results were found and a few examples. If there are no strong matches, generate a few relevant subreddit links for manual browsing.
Keep it lightweight and easy to run with normal Python plus common scraping libraries. Include basic instructions in the README for setup and usage. If needed, look up current Reddit friendly scraping or API docs online.
