Hacker News Browser Research

Use this skill when the user wants Hacker News-native discussion around products, launches, infrastructure, AI tooling, or developer-facing companies.

Workflow

1. Use browser_site with HN adapters such as:
   • hackernews/search
   • hackernews/thread
   • hackernews/top
2. Extract:
   • quality of technical discussion
   • launch or release reaction
   • signals of developer adoption or skepticism
3. Pair with github-browser-research when open-source traction matters.

Rules

• Treat HN as developer and builder sentiment, not a direct market signal.
• Distinguish technical criticism from business or financial implications.
