Individual skill
pulse
Multi-source recency research skill that takes the pulse of any topic across Reddit, Hacker News, the open web, and optionally X/Twitter within a configurable recent window (default 30 days). Forcing intake clarifies topic specificity, angle (trend/sentiment/problems/opportunities/comparison), time window, and platform scope before searching. Returns a synthesized briefing with citations, engagement metrics, and cross-platform pattern analysis. Use when the user requests multi-source recency intelligence on a topic (e.g., 'pulse on [topic]', 'what's happening with [topic]', 'what are people saying about [topic]', 'current conversation about [topic]', 'take the pulse of [topic]', 'trending: [topic]', 'find me info on [topic]'), and for competitor research, trend discovery, tool comparisons, and audience sentiment analysis.

# Pulse — Multi-Source Recency Research
> **Portability:** Works in Claude Code CLI and Claude.ai. Phase 4 accepts a local X/Twitter search export before trying a live interface.
A recency-oriented research skill that synthesizes what people are saying about a topic across Reddit, Hacker News, the open web, and (optionally) X/Twitter — within a configurable time window. Output is a single coherent briefing with citations, engagement signals, and cross-platform pattern analysis. The skill captures the **current conversation**, not the canonical reference.
## Invocation
**Explicit trigger phrases:**
- "pulse on [topic]"
- "what's happening with [topic]"
- "what are people saying about [topic]"
- "current conversation about [topic]"
- "take the pulse of [topic]"
