| description | Pull a multi-source social digest (Reddit, Hacker News, blogs, X) on a topic and summarize what people are actually saying right now. Use when the user wants the current conversation around a specific subject. |
Providers required
When to use this skill
Activate when the user prompt sounds like any of:
- "What's everyone saying about ?"
- "Give me a digest on ."
- "What's the buzz around <release / company / paper / product>?"
- "Catch me up on the conversation from the last ."
If the user wants raw trending volume rather than a curated read, prefer notslop-trending. If they want a time-series view, use notslop-pulse.
Setup (one-time)
The user must have run npx notslop init and configured:
- A ZeroEntropy API key (free at https://dashboard.zeroentropy.dev).
- Optionally: a list of X handles, a list of blog URLs, and an Orthogonal API key (only needed for the X source).
If config is missing, the CLI prints an actionable error. Surface it to the user verbatim and stop.
Steps
- Extract the topic from the user's prompt. Keep it short and quoted.
- Pick a
--since window. Default to 24h. Use 6h for very fresh asks, 7d for "this week", 30d for "this month".
- Run via Bash:
npx notslop@latest digest "<TOPIC>" --since <WINDOW> --format md
- Parse the markdown output. Preserve every URL and source tag (
reddit, hn, blogs, x).
- Summarize 3–5 themes for the user. For each theme cite at least one source by URL.
Example
User: "What's everyone saying about Claude 4.5?"
→ Run: npx notslop@latest digest "Claude 4.5" --since 24h --format md
→ Group results into themes (benchmarks, dev reactions, pricing, etc.) and return the summary with the source URLs inline.
