Use case overview

A commenter says Claude Code set up their Reddit profile by screenshotting, navigating settings, filling forms and uploading images.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    A commenter said they had Claude Code set up their Reddit profile entirely from the CLI. The agent first took a screenshot to inspect the current page, then used Playwright MCP to navigate into Reddit settings, fill out the profile forms, upload images, and when one image exceeded Reddit’s 500KB limit, it compressed the file and retried the upload without human help.

  2. How it went

    The reported outcome was a completed Reddit profile with zero manual intervention. The commenter also said Playwright MCP was usually faster and more reliable for web apps than raw computer use.

  3. Worth knowing

    The main catch mentioned was Reddit’s 500KB image upload limit, which the agent handled by compressing the image and trying again.
