name	AI Surface Smoke Research
description	Runs Raul's repeatable browser/desktop test workflow across native AI apps and live social surfaces. Use this when Raul asks to run an AI smoke research test, focus Codex and Claude, open Chrome/browser, search Reddit and/or X for AI topics like Claude/OpenClaw/Hermes, then summarize the current signals. Triggers on phrases like: run AI smoke research, test browser desktop research, focus Codex and Claude then search X, search Reddit and X for AI, Claude OpenClaw Hermes search, summarize AI chatter.

AI Surface Smoke Research

Run a quick end-to-end Prometheus test that proves desktop focus, browser navigation, social/search collection, and summary generation all work in one flow.

---

When to Use This

Use this when Raul wants a lightweight test workflow, not a deep research project. The point is to exercise the system: focus native apps, use the browser, collect current AI chatter from Reddit and/or X, and summarize what was found.

Good topics include Claude, OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, AI agents, or any AI tool names Raul gives.

Default Workflow

1. Load supporting skills first

   • desktop-automation-playbook
   • browser-automation-playbook
   • x-browser-automation-playbook when X is included

2. Focus desktop AI apps

   • Find/focus Codex with desktop_find_window({ name:"Codex" }) then desktop_focus_window({ name:"Codex" }).
   • Find/focus Claude with desktop_find_window({ name:"Claude" }) then prefer exact returned handle when needed, because Chrome/X titles may include the word Claude.
   • If a name collision happens, use desktop_find_window results and desktop_window_screenshot({ handle }) to verify the real Claude app.

3. Search Reddit

   • Use browser automation, not plain web search, when the test goal is browser execution.
   • Default URL: https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=<encoded query>&type=link
   • Use browser_scroll_collect for 3-5 scrolls.
   • Capture post titles, subreddits, rough votes/comments, and repeated themes.

4. Search X

   • Default URL: https://x.com/search?q=<encoded query>&f=live
   • Use browser_scroll_collect for 3-5 scrolls.
   • Capture authors, handles, timestamps, text, links, and visible metrics when available.
   • Do not like, reply, repost, bookmark, follow, or post.

5. Fallback web research only when browser/social collection is blocked

   • If the point of the run is browser execution, do not replace the browser steps preemptively.
   • If Reddit/X cannot be collected because browser or auth is blocked, use web_search({ fetch_top_k: 2-4 }) for Reddit/web mentions or web_fetch_batch for selected URLs.
   • Clearly label this as fallback research, separate from the browser/desktop smoke-test result.

6. Summarize

   • Report after the actual tool sequence completes.
   • Keep it concise unless Raul asks for depth.
   • Include: surfaces tested, app focus result, source highlights, and a short read on the AI chatter.

Default Query

If Raul does not provide a query, use:

Claude OpenClaw Hermes AI

Output Template

Done — focused Codex and Claude, searched Reddit + X for `<query>`, and collected live results.

Quick read:
- Reddit: <2-4 bullets about repeated themes>
- X: <2-4 bullets about repeated themes>
- Overall: <one-sentence synthesis>

Tool check: browser collection worked; desktop focus worked/partially worked with <note if any blocker>.

Rules

• This is a test flow, so skip declare_plan unless Raul explicitly asks for a plan.
• Do not take external social actions. Read-only only.
• Do not read or alter Codex/Claude chat content unless Raul explicitly asks.
• Prefer exact window handles when desktop window names collide with browser page titles.
• If Reddit is logged out, continue; logged-out search results are still usable.
• If X auth/search fails, report the exact blocker and continue with Reddit or web fallback.
• Use fresh visual evidence for ambiguous desktop focus.

Non-Triggers

Do not use this for:

• Deep competitive intelligence reports.
• Posting, liking, replying, or outreach.
• Codex dev handoffs.
• Voice-specific latency/interruption testing; Raul said that will get its own skill later.

Quality Check

A successful run has evidence that:

• Codex was focused or explicitly found missing.
• Claude was focused or explicitly found missing.
• Reddit and/or X was opened in browser automation.
• At least one collection pass returned real content.
• Final summary is grounded in collected text, not vibes.
