# 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]"
