SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill turns a blog’s 30-day “what’s being discussed” research need into a ranked, de-duplicated set of cross-platform findings that can be used for downstream writing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Platform-targeted discourse retrieval: Pulls results from multiple sources (reddit, X, Hacker News, Substack, dev.to, GitHub, LinkedIn Pulse, Facebook, Quora, podcasts, and academic discovery).
  • Deterministic ranking, deduping, and clustering: Computes combined_score using relevance and recency, dedupes by title overlap, and clusters across sources to surface themes.
  • Writer-ready outputs with source verification scaffolding: Produces discourse.md plus sidecars (including tiering guidance) for later citation verification and drafting.
  • Specialist orchestration behavior: Designed to be invoked by the 4D Blog Engine orchestrator during Phase 3 (Discernment), not by end users directly.

Quick Start

Ask the 4D Blog Engine orchestrator to run the Phase 3 “30-day discourse sweep” for the topic angle so it writes ranked discourse research into the piece’s 03-discernment folder.

FAQPage Schema
How do I aggregate and rank web research discourse by topic for a blog angle?

To rank web research discourse by topic, this skill aggregates findings across multiple platforms, dedupes them using title-overlap clustering, and calculates a combined score based on relevance and recency to produce a themed brief.

What is the best way to deduplicate cross-platform discourse findings by topic clustering?

Deduplicating cross-platform discourse findings is handled by title-overlap clustering, which groups identical or highly similar discussions across sources like Reddit, Hacker News, and Substack before applying recency-weighted scoring.

Can I retrieve and rank recent discourse from Reddit, X, and academic sources for content research?

Yes, you can retrieve recent discourse from Reddit, X, Hacker News, podcasts, and academic discovery sources. The skill pulls these findings, dedupes them, and applies recency-weighted scoring to rank the last 30 days of discussion.

How does recency-weighted scoring work for ranking 30-day online discourse?

Recency-weighted scoring for 30-day discourse works by computing a combined score that factors in both the relevance of the retrieved findings to your topic angle and how recently the discussions were published across web and academic sources.

Do I need an orchestrator to run a 30-day discourse sweep for blog research?

Yes, this skill is designed to be invoked by the 4D Blog Engine orchestrator during Phase 3 Discernment. You ask the orchestrator to run the 30-day discourse sweep, and it dispatches targeted queries that this skill aggregates.

What outputs does the topic discourse ranking skill generate for downstream writing?

The topic discourse ranking skill generates a Markdown brief (discourse.md) alongside JSON sidecars containing tiering guidance, ensuring strict anti-fabrication by only outputting retrieved findings for later citation verification and drafting.
