How do I reset my radar configuration to defaults?

You can reset the tool by deleting the configuration file located at ~/.config/brain-jar/pattern-radar.json.

How do I increase GitHub rate limits for the radar?

Create a Personal Access Token at github.com/settings/tokens, run the setup command, and enter the token when prompted to increase limits from 60 to 5,000 requests per hour.

Can I prioritize Hacker News over GitHub?

Yes, you can use the configure tool to set the hackernews_weight higher (e.g., 1.5) and the github_weight lower (e.g., 0.5) to influence the relevance scoring.

Does it use my existing developer profile?

If you have the shared-memory skill installed, Pattern Radar automatically imports your languages, frameworks, and interests from your technical profile.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Configures sources, relevance weights, and domain interests for the Pattern Radar discovery tool.

About

Pattern Radar Configurator allows you to fine-tune how Claude scans external sources like Hacker News and GitHub for relevant technology patterns and trends. By defining specific domains—such as programming languages, frameworks, or architectural concepts—and adjusting source weights, you can ensure that the radar surfaces information most pertinent to your current project or technical interests. It also supports GitHub token integration for higher rate limits and automatically syncs with shared memory profiles for a seamless, personalized discovery experience.

Key Features

Custom domain definition for targeted pattern discovery
Granular source control for Hacker News and GitHub
Weighted relevance scoring to prioritize specific platforms
GitHub language filtering to refine repository searches
Shared-memory integration for automatic profile-based configuration
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Managing GitHub API rate limits through personal access token configuration
Tailoring discovery to specific tech stacks like Rust, React, or WebAssembly
Prioritizing community discussions on Hacker News over code changes on GitHub
