Daily source sweep for trend radar

★ 6.9 · general

radar-pulse is a Claude Code skill that performs a full daily sweep of every social and community source listed in SOURCES.md — Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube curators, digest and explainer blogs, Hugging Face, and X/Instagram. The list is treated as a contract: every entry is fetched by its recorded access method, sampling is prohibited, and a skipped source is a missed lane, not a lighter run. Social signals serve as an intake lane only — they populate the observation_queue as unverified items or feed the community-pulse note, and can be promoted to trend evidence only after verification via radar-source-verify against a primary artifact such as a paper, repo, or official release. When a social post directly names or links a primary artifact, the skill follows that link in the same run and verifies it immediately. Run after the lab sweep, radar-pulse acts as a discovery accelerator that surfaces new repositories, releases, and papers days before they appear in official channels.
