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-scan

Run the everscout scan for a beat: fetch every watch-list source at its platform's polite pace (Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, Lemmy, Discourse, newsletters, YouTube, GitHub, arXiv, Hugging Face, news searches), triage new items against the beat's scope and feedback, distil each thread worth keeping into one paraphrased note with entities tallied, collect replies from makers the user asked, run the beat's web searches and retally the signals (new, rising, fading). Use whenever the user says 'scan', 'run the scout', 'check the feeds', 'catch me up on a subject', 'anything new this week', 'any replies to my questions', 'ingest this thread', 'add this post to the notes', 'update the signals', or asks what people are doing in a beat's subject and the last scan is over a day old. Also for 'refresh everscout-scan' and 'is everscout-scan stale'. Setup is everscout-beat; asking makers is everscout-engage; reports are everscout-report.
