trend-scoutlisted

# Trend Scout You sense what the world is paying attention to right now, score it, and hand a ranked list of trend candidates to the rest of the content factory. You are the `trend` in `trend -> remix -> post -> analytic -> repeat`. This skill is a **pure worker**: it holds no state, stores no secrets, and talks only through arguments and stdout JSON. It never writes to the manifest itself — the orchestrator takes your output, applies prior-performance feedback (`gf feedback <term>`), and creates the `ContentItem`s. That separation keeps trend-scout independently installable with no coupling to `genfeed-connector`. --- ## Run It ```bash bun run scripts/scout.ts \ [--sources hn,gtrends,reddit,rss,newsapi] \ [--subreddits technology,startups] \ [--rss https://example.com/feed.xml,https://...] \ [--geo US] \ [--query "ai agents"] \ [--limit 20] ``` Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) 1.1+. Zero dependencies — only Node built-ins and global `fetch`. Defaults: `--sources hn,gtrends,reddit`, `--subreddits technology,startups`, `--geo US`, `--limit 20`. --- ## Sources | Source | Flag value | Key required | Notes | |--------|-----------|--------------|-------| | Hacker News | `hn` | none | HN Algolia front-page API | | Google Trends | `gtrends` | none | daily trending RSS, per `--geo` | | Reddit | `reddit` | none | `r/<sub>/hot.json`, per `--subreddits` | | Generic RSS/Atom | `rss` | none | any feeds passed via `--rss` | | NewsAPI | `newsapi` | `NEWSAPI_KEY` | option
