System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It removes the manual copy-paste effort of collecting Hacker News front-page story metadata by automatically scraping titles, ranks, points, and comment counts into a structured output.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hacker News front-page scraping: Retrieves the top stories from news.ycombinator.com and returns a single JSON document.
  • Deterministic JSON output: Produces stable, machine-friendly fields (rank, id, title, url, points, comments) suitable for downstream tooling.
  • Job-row safe handling: Recognizes job postings that lack points/comments and returns nulls instead of guessing.

Use case: You want a quick weekly dataset of top Hacker News stories with links, scores, and discussion volume to compare trends or populate a dashboard.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to scrape the Hacker News front page and output the top 30 stories as JSON by running the gstack-hackernews-frontpage skill.
