# Discourse Search ## When To Use - Gathering community opinions on a technology or approach - Finding experience reports from HN, Reddit, or Lobsters ## When NOT To Use - Academic research (use `/tome:papers`) - Code examples (use `/tome:code-search`) Scan community channels for discussions on a topic. ## Channels - **Hacker News**: Algolia API at hn.algolia.com - **Lobsters**: WebSearch with site:lobste.rs - **Reddit**: JSON API (append .json to URLs) - **Tech blogs**: WebSearch targeting curated domains ## Workflow 1. Build search URLs/queries per channel using `tome.channels.discourse.*` functions 2. Execute via WebFetch (APIs) or WebSearch (fallback) 3. Parse responses into Finding objects 4. Merge across sources with source attribution

About this skill
What does the discourse skill do?

Scans HN, Lobsters, Reddit, and tech blogs for community experience reports. Use when gathering practitioner opinions on a technology or approach.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill discourse --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
