Pareto

0upvotes

Maps any topic's zeitgeist and frontier — sweeps YouTube, GitHub, the web and the Research skill, ranks everything down to the vital few by relevance, reach, recency and outlier-ness, then reports the past meta, the current mainstream meta, and where the forward thinkers are heading, every frontier claim linked. USE WHEN pareto, pareto this, run pareto on, zeitgeist, what's the zeitgeist on, what's the meta on, what is the current meta, where is thinking on X heading, who are the forward thinkers on, who is ahead of the curve on, what are the big thinkers saying about, top content on a topic, vital few. NOT FOR answering a specific factual question (Research), analyzing one piece of content (ExtractWisdom), or AI industry news digests (Upgrade NewsDigest; security news SecurityUpdates).

# Pareto

Most of what gets said about a topic is repetition. A few people and a few pieces carry the signal, and some of them are early. Pareto sweeps wide, ranks down to that vital few, and reports how thinking has moved and where it is going next.

## Ideal State

- The principal can act on a run without redoing the search: who to follow and what to read first are named, each with a link from the collected data.
- A failed or quota-limited source narrows the sweep but never aborts the run, and the result names every source that failed.
- Ranking keeps the vital few on topic: off-topic viral items and cracked-software lure repos never reach the ranked set.
- Every era claim (past, current, frontier) carries a date taken from the source itself, never a crawl date.
