content-research_skill

Overview

This skill researches trending topics and generates platform-specific social content across Reddit, X/Twitter, Discord, and LinkedIn. It runs a two-phase workflow: a focused web research pass (freshness-limited) followed by tailored post drafts in multiple angles per platform. The output is concise, source-linked, and ready to publish or iterate.

How this skill works

First, the skill searches the web for recent items about your topic using targeted queries and fetches article text for context. It filters results to the last seven days and prioritizes launches, partnerships, updates, controversies, and milestones while skipping basic explainers and price/TA pieces. Then it generates multiple content angles and formatted drafts for each supported platform, with guidance for hooks, tone, and post structure.

When to use it

• You need quick, up-to-date summaries of breaking news or trends in a topic.
• You want ready-to-post content formatted for Reddit, X/Twitter, Discord, or LinkedIn.
• You need multiple angles (news share, analysis, discussion, meme) to A/B test engagement.
• You’re managing community updates, brand comms, or social media for events/launches.

Best practices

• Run research with a one-week freshness filter to keep content timely and relevant.
• Prioritize primary sources and include a source link in every draft for credibility.
• Choose platform-appropriate angles—use professional tone for LinkedIn and casual/meme tone for Discord.
• Ask for a single-angle refinement before publishing to tighten voice and facts.
• Avoid reposting explainers or speculative price predictions; focus on factual updates and implications.

Example use cases

• Research 'defi' and produce a Reddit discussion post, an X thread, and a LinkedIn insight post.
• Get five newest headlines about a crypto project, then create alert-style Discord messages for your server.
• Create a series of X hot-takes and a meme variant for community engagement during a product launch.
• Generate LinkedIn career-focused commentary from a partnership announcement for professional audiences.
