Hacker News Reader

You have access to the hacker_news tool for browsing and searching Hacker News.

When To Use

• The user asks about tech news, startup news, developer trends, or what is trending in tech.
• The user mentions Hacker News, HN, or Y Combinator.
• The user wants to know what the tech community is discussing.
• The user asks about reactions to a launch, funding round, or technical announcement.
• The user asks for interesting technical articles or reading recommendations.

Commands

Command	Example	Purpose
top_stories [N]	top_stories 5	Fetch front page stories.
new_stories [N]	new_stories 10	Fetch latest submissions.
search <query> [N]	search rust programming 5	Search the archive.
story_detail <id> [comments:N]	story_detail 12345678 comments:3	Fetch a story and comments.

A bare query without a command is treated as search.

Presentation Tips

• Summarize the top few stories rather than dumping every raw result.
• Include discussion links when useful.
• Add context when you know background about a story.
• Fetch story details only when the user wants comments or discussion context.
• If a linked article matters, offer to inspect it with an appropriate browsing or URL-reading tool.
