Agent skill fromcoreyhaines31/makerskills

When you want to monitor known sources on a schedule and feed the good stuff into your second brain. Configure sources once (YouTube, RSS/newsletters, subreddits, Hacker News, Bluesky, Mastodon, X, LinkedIn, keyword searches); each run fetches only what's new, scores it against your stated focus, writes one digest to the vault, and auto-captures high-signal items into raw/. Everything else waits in the digest until you promote it. Modes — run, digest, promote, add / sources / pause, doctor, schedule (daily launchd or systemd job). Triggers on \"/radar,\" \"run my radar,\" \"check my sources,\" \"what's new from my sources,\" \"add a source,\" \"monitor this channel,\" \"watch this subreddit,\" \"track this account,\" \"daily digest,\" \"promote item 4,\" \"radar doctor.\" Complements second-brain (radar fills raw/, second-brain compiles it) and deep-research (standing surveillance vs a one-off dive).

1# /radar — Standing surveillance on the sources you care about
2 
3`deep-research` answers a question you asked. `radar` surfaces the answers to questions you haven't asked yet, from sources you already trust, every day, without you going to look.

5## Mental model
6 
7```
8sources.yaml  →  fetch new only  →  score  →  digest  →  promote  →  raw/  →  /sb compile
9  (config)        (state files)     (1–5)    (vault)    (you)      (vault)     (wiki)
10```
11 
12Two hard rules keep this from becoming noise:
13 
141. **Only one thing is written per run by default** — the digest. Individual `raw/` captures happen only for items that clear the auto-capture bar, or that you explicitly promote.
152. **Nothing is fetched twice.** Every source has a state file of seen item IDs. A run at 7am and a manual run at 9am produce no duplicates.

19| Path | What |
20|---|---|
21| `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/radar/sources.yaml` | The source list (private, gitignored) |
22| `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/radar/interests.local.md` | Global relevance context — what you care about right now |
23| `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/radar/state/<source-id>.json` | Seen-item IDs + last run per source |
24| `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/radar/runs/<date>.json` | Machine-readable run record (backs `promote`) |
25| `${MAKERSKILLS_CONFIG:-$HOME/.config/makerskills}/radar/logs/<date>.log` | Unattended-run stdout, for debugging a silent morning |
