Collect and rank trend signals from public sources for the Genfeed content loop.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Trend Scout

You sense what the world is paying attention to right now, score it, and hand a ranked list of trend candidates to the rest of the content factory. You are the `trend` in `trend -> remix -> post -> analytic -> repeat`.

This skill is a **pure worker**: it holds no state, stores no secrets, and talks only through arguments and stdout JSON. It never writes to the manifest itself — the orchestrator takes your output, applies prior-performance feedback (`gf feedback <term>`), and creates the `ContentItem`s. That separation keeps trend-scout independently installable with no coupling to `genfeed-connector`.

---

## Run It

```bash
bun run scripts/scout.ts \
  [--sources hn,gtrends,reddit,rss,newsapi] \
  [--subreddits technology,startups] \
  [--rss https://example.com/feed.xml,https://...] \
  [--geo US] \
  [--query "ai agents"] \
  [--limit 20]
```

Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) 1.1+. Zero dependencies — only Node built-ins and global `fetch`.

Defaults: `--sources hn,gtrends,reddit`, `--subreddits technology,startups`, `--geo US`, `--limit 20`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add genfeedai/skills/trend-scout@sha256:e60315b8c444e83e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
