At a glance
Researches what people are saying about a topic over a recent window across X, Reddit, YouTube and the public web, reporting each source's status with links.
- Works in 6 steps: Define the research target → Probe local source readiness → Build source-specific queries → …
- Checking what people are saying about a topic over the last few weeks
- SKILL.md covers Completion contract, Choose a mode, Workflow and Failure rules
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3
What it does
The skill builds a trend map even when a platform connector fails, treating every source as its own channel and never reading an empty or failed query as proof that nobody is discussing the topic. It orchestrates a local Grok route for X and Reddit, the last30days collector for supported indexes and public-web checks, with a stated time window that defaults to the last 30 days.
A run must state the window and platforms, label each source as ok, degraded, unavailable or not requested, keep only in-window items in the recent results, give direct links for material claims, and separate visible facts, third-party observations, inference and unknowns. The strongest claim is cross-checked against a primary or independent source. Quick mode, the default, runs one X search, one short YouTube or index search and web verification; deep mode searches X and Reddit separately and compares sources. `source_probe.py` checks which local routes exist, and credentials are never shown.
When your agent uses it
- Checking what people are saying about a topic over the last few weeks
- Finding hot videos or community sentiment around a product or news item
- Backing a content idea with dated, linked evidence from several platforms
Example prompts
- “Run a deep trend check on open-source coding agents across X, Reddit and Hacker News.”
- “Find the hot YouTube videos about home espresso machines this month and give me links.”
- “What is the community sentiment on Polymarket election markets over the last two weeks?”
Requirements
- Python 3 for the probe and collector scripts
- A local Grok setup for X and Reddit searches
- The last30days collector for supported indexes
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define the research target
- Probe local source readiness
- Build source-specific queries
- Route each source
- Normalize evidence
- Report the result
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ad2449. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Ray Trend Search loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 998 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 998 words (~2,088 tokens).
“Build a defensible recent-trend map even when individual platform connectors fail. Treat every source as a separately observable channel. Never turn a failed connector or an empty query into a claim that nobody is discussing the topic.”
