AI Trend Radar

Overview

Use this skill when the user needs a fresh, time-sensitive shortlist of AI, AI tool, or technology topics worth writing about.

The goal is not generic research. The goal is to surface topics that are both recent and blog-worthy.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user wants:

• The newest AI or AI-tool topics
• Fresh product launches, releases, benchmarks, or model updates
• Timely AI developer-tool stories
• A shortlist of topics to feed into $viral-topic-analyst

Do not use this skill for evergreen explainers or static background research.

Workflow

1. Search the live web. Do not rely on memory for recency-sensitive claims.
2. Default to a 7-day window. Expand to 14 days only if the signal set is thin.
3. Cover four buckets:
   • Frontier model releases and capabilities
   • AI tools and developer products
   • Benchmarks, studies, or measurable shifts
   • Important policy, platform, or ecosystem moves
4. Prioritize source quality using references/source-priority.md.
5. Deduplicate overlapping stories. If five articles report the same release, keep one topic.
6. Filter out rumors, vague opinion pieces, and recycled commentary without a new event.
7. Rank topics by timeliness, novelty, practical utility, and discussion potential.

Search Rules

• Prefer official announcements, product pages, release notes, papers, and first-party docs.
• Use media coverage only to enrich context, not as the sole proof of a topic.
• If social posts are used, treat them as secondary signal only.
• Always capture dates and links.
• Be explicit when a conclusion is an inference rather than a direct fact.

Output Format

Return a compact shortlist in this structure:

## TREND_SHORTLIST

| Rank | Topic | Why Now | Audience | Freshness | Utility | Discussion Potential | Sources |
|------|-------|---------|----------|-----------|---------|----------------------|---------|

### Notes
- Mention duplicates merged into one topic.
- Mention any topics rejected for weak evidence or weak timeliness.

Quality Bar

• Aim for 8 to 12 topics.
• Every topic must have at least 2 credible links when possible.
• At least half the list should be younger than 7 days unless the user asks otherwise.
• The shortlist should be ready to hand off directly to $viral-topic-analyst.
