Can I customize which topics the radar tracks?

Yes, you can use the configure_sources tool to set your primary domains and even adjust the weights for different signal sources like Hacker News vs. GitHub.

What sources does Pattern Radar Digest use for its briefings?

The skill primarily fetches signals from Hacker News discussions and trending GitHub repositories to identify high-signal patterns and emerging technologies.

What is 'Serendipity Mode' in this skill?

Serendipity Mode is a default feature that includes 'Wildcards'—interesting tech signals outside your usual domains—to help you find inspiration in unexpected places.

Does it provide raw data or a summary?

By default, it provides a 300-400 word conversational briefing. However, you can use the scan_trends tool directly if you prefer raw signals for a specific topic.

How does the subagent architecture benefit the user?

It dispatches a specialized Haiku subagent to handle the heavy lifting of raw data processing. This ensures the main conversation remains clean while providing a high-quality, curated narrative.
