What problem does it solve?
Scout ONE external surface of the TouchDesigner community for what's HYPED in 2025-2026 that could become a tdmcp tool. Use when a td-trend-scout sub-agent is assigned a surface (community-showcase, tutorials, generative-ai, hardware-interactive, or vfx-aesthetics) during the tdmcp-hype-scout harness — produces _workspace/hype-scout/01_scout_<surface>.md with cited trend candidates ranked by hype intensity, recency, and build-ease in tdmcp.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Identify and document rising hype topics on a single surface.
- Produce a structured markdown file listing trend candidates with citations for potential tool development.
- Use cases include prioritizing topics for future tooling within tdmcp and guiding hype-scout workflows.
Quick Start
Create the directory _workspace/hype-scout and write the initial header for workspace/hype-scout/01_scout<surface>.md.
