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-beat

Create, research, tune or retire an everscout beat, the subject pack the scout follows: scope and research questions, a verified watch list (subreddits, forums, feeds, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, YouTube, GitHub) with each community's stance on questions and AI, an entity vocabulary, a question bank for makers, web searches, the study outline and the metrics to track over time. Use whenever the user wants to follow a new subject ('scout AI video for me', 'set up a scout for global economics', 'I want to follow down-tempo music', 'new beat', 'track this topic', 'make a scout for X'), add, verify or drop a source ('add r/X to the scout', 'is this subreddit still alive', 'check the sources'), grow the vocabulary or question bank, add, promote or archive a metric ('track a number for this'), list beats, or asks what everscout can watch. Also for 'refresh everscout-beat' and 'is everscout-beat stale'. Reading sources is everscout-scan; asking makers is everscout-engage; reports are everscout-report.
