Is there a way to just see trends without generating topics?

Absolutely. You can use the trigger 'Daily AI Hotspots' to receive a categorized list of current trends and links without initiating the full topic generation workflow.

Does it write the actual content?

While its primary focus is research and ideation, you can use the 'Expand Writing' command to transition from a topic outline into a full drafting session.

How does it integrate with Obsidian?

It automatically formats approved topics into structured Markdown templates and saves them to a pre-defined local directory in your Obsidian vault for immediate access.

Where does Topic Agent get its data?

It performs real-time searches across platforms like Product Hunt, Reddit (r/ClaudeAI, r/LocalLLaMA), Hacker News, research blogs (DeepMind, Meta AI), and major AI model documentation.

Can I customize the audit scoring?

Yes, the skill uses a weighted system (Heat 30%, Uniqueness 40%, Local Interest 30%) to filter for high-quality content that meets a specific 'pass' threshold.
