What it does

Hot Monitor is an agent skill from liyupi/yupi-hot-monitor. AI hotspot monitoring and trending topic discovery across multiple sources (Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, HackerNews, Sogou, Bilibili, Weibo, Twitter). Use when users ask about: trending news, hot topics, latest developments in a field, monitoring keywords, tech/AI news discovery, generating hotspot reports, "最近有什么热点", "帮我关注XX动态", "查一下XX最新消息", "生成热点报告", "monitor XX", "what's trending in XX", or any request to search/track/discover current events and trending content across Chinese and international platforms.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/analysis-guide.md`, `references/search-sources.md` and `scripts/generate_report.py`).

It sits in Databases, covering Model routing and gateways. It works with X (Twitter), Bilibili, OpenRouter and React. The repository describes itself as: 2026 年编程导航 AI 编程实战新项目,基于 Node.js + Express + React + OpenRouter 的 AI 热点监控工具,支持多信息源聚合抓取(Twitter / Bing / HackerNews / B 站等 7+ 平台)、AI 查询扩展、AI 真假识别与相关性分析、WebSocket….

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask about: trending news
  • Latest developments in a field
  • Monitoring keywords
  • Tech/AI news discovery

Example prompts

  • “最近有什么热点”
  • “帮我关注XX动态”
  • “查一下XX最新消息”
  • “/hot-monitor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in TWITTER_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Understand User Intent
  2. Execute Search
  3. Analyze Results
  4. Present Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd48b08. 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 5 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TWITTER_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hot Monitor loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 418 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 418 words (~1,208 tokens).

“Search and analyze trending topics across 8+ sources without any server or database. Scripts handle data collection; use your own AI capabilities for analysis.”
