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, sch…

Low-risk skills in the same category (coding) that look related. Check that one does what you need.
Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'radar' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'radar' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named radar already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/coreyhaines31/makerskills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b465319a5e675a89ea9fd87a15191c9a8ad13649' -- 'skills/radar' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/radar' ~/.agents/skills/'radar' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'radar' ~/.claude/skills/'radar' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
