v0.7.1MIT

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), and keeps up with each beat's books (the canon, the important recent ones and new releases from Open Library) and distills a book you provide into the beat and the skills it feeds.

everscout-library

Keep up with the books of a subject the user has an everscout beat for: the most important books of all time (canon), the most important recent ones, and the latest published, each listed with evidence in the beat's literature.md; find new books through Open Library; and when the user provides a book file or names one they own, read it with readwright and distill it into the beat's files, its notes and the skills or plugins the beat feeds. Use whenever the user asks 'what are the key books on my beat', 'best books on X', 'what's new in books on Y', 'any new books on my economics beat', 'build the reading list for this beat', 'read this book into my scout', 'distill this book', 'what did we learn from that book', or 'which books would help my plugins'. Also for 'refresh everscout-library' and 'is everscout-library stale'. Setup is everscout-beat, scans everscout-scan, questions about the subject everscout-ask.
