Hype Filter — filter the hype, find what's actually useful
Example session with this skill installed
/hype-filter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47296664
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the hype filter
Thread analyzed. Filtering against your project context in my-context.md.
HYPE — The core claim of $200/day revenue is unsupported by logs and serves as a lead magnet for a paid course.
What's real
| Claim | Who | Status |
|---|---|---|
| "Built a $200/day SaaS in 4 hours" | @dev_troll | CLAIMED |
| "No code, just vibes" | @dev_troll | CLAIMED |
| "Here is my course" | @dev_troll | SELLING |
Fits you?
SKIP
The thread advocates for no-code wrappers which conflicts with your my-context.md preference for Rust-based backend services. This would be a regression for your current architecture.
Money in it
IDEA: Wrapper-as-a-Service
What: A simplified UI layer for the niche API mentioned in the thread.
Est. $/day: $10 - $30 — basis: guess, nothing in the thread provides subscriber counts.
Tier: WORTH LOGGING
Evidence: High engagement in comments asking for the specific API setup. https://x.com/dev_troll/status/123456789
First real step: Inspect the API documentation for the wrapper to see if rate limits allow for a multi-tenant app.
Limits it touches: None.
Bottom line
Nothing here — keep scrolling.
Next steps
- Do not click the course link; it contains no technical documentation.
- Update your
my-context.mdif you want to include "no-code" in your allowed tech stack.

What you get
About this skill
You read a thread. Someone made $40k with agents. Should you care?
Hype Filter answers that in one pass. Give it the thread — a link in Grok, pasted text anywhere else — and you get four things:
- Verdict. One line: HYPE, MIXED or LEGIT, and why.
- What's real. Every concrete claim, labelled PROVEN (they showed it — screenshots, code, numbers you can check), CLAIMED (they said it, nothing backs it) or SELLING (it sits next to a course, template or affiliate link).
- Fits you? One call against what you actually have and build: USE IT, STEAL THE IDEA, TAKE ONE PIECE or SKIP — with two lines of why. You fill in a short context file once; the verdicts get sharper the more honest it is.
- Money in it. Every idea the thread hints at — even one buried in a reply — as a card: what it is, a $/day guess and where that number comes from, the evidence, and the first real step.
What it won't do: buy, sign up, post or message anyone. It reads and advises. You decide.
Includes three full worked examples on public threads and the context-file template.
Who it's for
Indie developers, solo founders, and anyone who reads AI Twitter, HN or Reddit and is tired of not knowing what's real.
