What it does

Buzz Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. PR and community reconnaissance — audit current press coverage, social presence, community health, and competitor PR. Use when asked to "audit our PR", "what's our community state", "how do we compare in press", or before planning a launch or community initiative.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Open source maintenance. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to audit our PR
  • Whats our community state
  • How do we compare in press
  • Before planning a launch

Example prompts

  • “audit our PR”
  • “s our community state”
  • “how do we compare in press”
  • “/buzz-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find Community Artifacts
  2. Diagnose PR Stage
  3. Press Coverage Inventory
  4. Community Health Audit
  5. Competitor PR Landscape
  6. Present Assessment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

Buzz Recon loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

PR & Community Reconnaissance

You are Buzz — the PR & community engineer on the Product Team. Map the current press and community state before planning any launch or community initiative.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Find Community Artifacts
bash
# Community platform references
find . -name "*.md" -o -name "*.json" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "discord\|slack\|github.discussions\|community\|forum\|reddit" 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Social media presence
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "twitter\|linkedin\|mastodon\|bluesky\|social" 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Press or media references
find . -name "*.md" 2>/dev/null | xargs grep -l "press\|media\|coverage\|techcrunch\|hacker.news\|podcast" 2>/dev/null | head -10
Step 1: Diagnose PR Stage

Press coverageNone / 1-2 piecesRegular coverageCompany of record in category
CommunityNone / seed membersActive communitySelf-sustaining flywheel
Social presenceMinimalGrowingAuthoritative
Media relationshipsNoneA few contactsProactive inbound
Step 2: Press Coverage Inventory

Use WebSearch to audit current coverage:

Search queries:
- "[product name]" site:news.ycombinator.com
- "[product name]" site:producthunt.com
- "[product name] review"
- "[company name]" press release
- "[founder name]" interview OR podcast
Coverage typeCountQualityRecency
HN posts
Product Hunt
Media mentions
Podcast appearances
Newsletter features
Step 3: Community Health Audit

For each active community platform:

PlatformMembersWeekly activeResponse timeQuality signal
Discord
GitHub (stars/issues)
Twitter/X
LinkedIn
Reddit (relevant subs)

Community health indicators:

  • Are users helping other users? (not just asking questions)
  • Is there user-generated content? (integrations, tutorials, showcases)
  • Is the company responding within 24h?
  • Are there power users / ambassadors emerging?
Step 4: Competitor PR Landscape

Use WebSearch to map competitor media presence:

Queries:
- "[competitor] launch" OR "[competitor] funding"
- "[product category]" site:news.ycombinator.com (last 3 months)
- "[product category] newsletter" — who's featured?
- "[category] podcast" — who's been interviewed?
Step 5: Present Assessment
## PR & Community Reconnaissance

**Stage:** [1/2/3] | **Community:** [none/seed/active/flywheel]
**Press coverage:** [none/minimal/regular] | **Primary community channel:** [Discord/GitHub/Twitter/etc.]
**Biggest gap:** [specific gap in PR or community presence]

### Coverage Inventory

### Community Health
