Individual skill
recent-discourse-sweep
Use this skill when a decision depends on what the market actually said about a company, product, category or person inside a dated window: before a first touch, before a renewal call, before committing to a positioning or content bet. Produces a sourced synthesis plus a coverage report naming which venues were read, which came back empty, and which were never reached. Trigger phrasings: "what are people saying about X right now", "any chatter on this account", "is this trend real or is it one loud thread", "check the last 30 days", "what changed since we last looked", "the research came back empty".

Read excerpt
Run this before a touch, a call, or a bet that depends on what is true this month. Produces a sourced synthesis and a coverage report.
## The one-line law
A sweep is only as honest as its coverage report. An empty result means nothing until the venues are proven live.
## The play
1. **Fix the window and list the venues before searching.** Name the window in days, then list every venue you intend to read: open discussion communities, technical forums, video, job postings, filings and preprints, the trade press, short-form social feeds, plain web search. The list is the plan. A venue never listed cannot turn up missing later.
2. **Keep the topic string clean.** The topic is a routing key, not a description: plain words, no brackets, no slashes, no "versus" unless a comparison is wanted. Disambiguation belongs in the query terms. A topic carrying a parenthetical splits silently into two searches, one of them a fragment, and half the budget goes into the fragment. Before sweeping a named company, product or person, read `references/query-plan.md`.
3. **Run the venues one at a time and record each outcome as one of three states:** read-with-results, read-and-empty, never-reached. Three different facts, and collapsing them into "nothing found" is the failure this skill exists to prevent. Diagnosis is in `references/coverage-report.md`, to be read the first time a venue comes back empty.
