    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Research Dispatcher is a developer-centric research engine that routes queries across Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, and Brave Search through a single declarative interface. Instead of manual tab-switching, it programmatically queries community-specific APIs, applies source-specific query optimizations, and aggregates the results into a unified Markdown report.

    Why use this skill

    Standard LLM web searches often miss the nuanced "community signal" found in developer hubs. This skill encodes platform-specific logic—such as GitHub technical qualifiers (stars, topics, push dates) and Reddit subreddit sorting—that generic search engines frequently overlook. It handles the "search-fu" for you, managing rate limits, API nuances, and formatting so you get high-signal data without the noise.

    Supported sources

    • Hacker News: Deep technical discussions via Algolia API.
    • Reddit: Community sentiment and niche subreddit insights.
    • GitHub: Real-time OSS activity, trending repos, and issue tracking.
    • Brave Search: Fresh general web results with date filtering.

    The Output

    The skill produces a structured Markdown synthesis including top hits (ranked by score/relevance), deduplicated cross-platform URLs, and identified recurring themes across different communities.

    Use Cases

    • Survey open-source activity and repository health for specific tech stacks.
    • Compare community sentiment and technical critiques between HN and Reddit.
    • Gather cross-platform evidence before making architectural decisions.
    • Identify trending technical topics within specific developer niches.
