v0.3.3MIT

Name any subject and get a scout for it: everscout researches where the subject lives online, verifies each community and feed, and writes a beat (watch list, entity vocabulary, question bank, searches, study outline); then it reads Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, Discourse forums, newsletters, YouTube, GitHub, arXiv and Hugging Face at each platform's polite pace, distils one paraphrased note per thread worth keeping, tallies entities into signals (new, rising, fading), writes radar-style trend reports and a sourced baseline study, and drafts respectful questions to makers that you approve and post by hand, paced by a ledger and bound by a researched conduct code, answers any question about a subject like a reporter on the beat, from its notes plus fresh research, with sources and confidence, and keeps statistics per beat (a metric catalog, an append-only series from its tallies, GDELT news volume and Wikipedia pageviews, a review that promotes and archives metrics, chart-ready CSV for chartwright).

everscout-ask

Answer a question about a subject the user has an everscout beat for, like a reporter on that beat: recall what the beat already holds (notes, earlier answers, reports, study, signals), judge whether it is enough and fresh, fill gaps from the beat's communities, feeds and the web, then answer with dated, linked evidence split into already seen and just found, disagreements, confidence and unknowns. Saves each answer so the next question builds on it. Use whenever the user asks about a beat's subject or talks to the scout as a source: 'ask my tech-hiring scout...', 'what does the scout know about X', 'what are people saying about Y', 'is Z true on my beat', 'what's the latest on', 'brief me on', 'what would you tell someone about', 'why is X happening', 'follow-up' or 'dig into that'. Also for 'refresh everscout-ask' and 'is everscout-ask stale'. Setup is everscout-beat, scans everscout-scan, reports everscout-report, asking makers everscout-engage.
