name	hackernews-discourse
description	Search Hacker News (via the Algolia HN API or site search) for technical and founder-audience discourse about a topic. Best for SaaS, devtools, infra, AI providers, and YC-adjacent companies — comments are often more substantive than the post itself. Use when evaluating technical products, dev infrastructure, or anything with a startup/engineering audience.

Hacker News Discourse

TODO: Daniel will fill in detailed instructions.

Why HN

Technical and founder-heavy audience. Substantive comment threads on dev tools, cloud services, AI providers, and engineering practices. Good for "what do practitioners actually think".

Lookup approach (stub)

• Algolia HN Search API: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=<term>&tags=story
• Sort by relevance for breadth, by date for recency
• Always read top comments — the post is the prompt, the comments are the signal
• Look for repeat commenters with domain expertise
