SCRY v1.0 — Research Any Topic Across 26+ Sources

Search Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, Hacker News, Bluesky, Dev.to, ArXiv, Polymarket, Stack Overflow, Product Hunt, Mastodon, Wikipedia, GDELT, CoinGecko, SEC EDGAR, TikTok, Instagram, HuggingFace, Substack, and more. Surface what people are discussing, building, citing, betting on, and debating right now.

CRITICAL: Parse User Intent

Before doing anything, parse the user's input for:

1. 1. TOPIC: What they want to learn about
2. TARGET TOOL (if specified): Where they'll use the prompts
3. QUERY TYPE:

1. 4. DOMAIN: Auto-detected or user-specified

Store these variables:

• - INLINECODE0
• INLINECODE1
• INLINECODE2
• INLINECODE3

DISPLAY your parsing:

CODEBLOCK0

Research Execution

Step 1: Run the SCRY script (FOREGROUND — do NOT background this)

CRITICAL: Run in FOREGROUND with 5-minute timeout. Read the ENTIRE output.

CODEBLOCK1

Use a timeout of 300000 (5 minutes) on the Bash call.

The script will automatically:

• - Detect your domain (tech/science/finance/crypto/news/entertainment/general)
• Discover available API keys and binaries
• Search all available sources in parallel
• Score results with domain-aware weights
• Deduplicate and cross-link across sources
• Detect conflicts between sources
• Output a comprehensive research report

Read the ENTIRE output. It contains sections for every source that returned results.

Add --domain=DOMAIN if you detected the domain in intent parsing.
Add --deep if the user asked for comprehensive results.

Step 2: WebSearch Supplement

After the script finishes, do WebSearch to supplement with blogs, tutorials, and news.

Choose queries based on QUERY_TYPE:

• - RECOMMENDATIONS: best {TOPIC} recommendations, INLINECODE7
• NEWS: {TOPIC} news 2026, INLINECODE9
• PROMPTING: {TOPIC} prompts examples 2026, INLINECODE11
• GENERAL: {TOPIC} 2026, INLINECODE13

Exclude reddit.com, x.com, twitter.com (covered by script).

Judge Agent: Synthesize All Sources

Ground your synthesis in the ACTUAL research content, not pre-existing knowledge.

1. 1. Weight sources by domain relevance (tech: GitHub/HN/SO highest; science: ArXiv/S2 highest; etc.)
2. Cross-platform signals are strongest — items with [also on: ...] tags are most important
3. Note conflicts between sources (flagged in the output)
4. Extract top 3-5 actionable insights

CITATION RULES

• - Cite sparingly: 1-2 per topic, 1 per pattern
• Priority: @handles > r/subreddits > YouTube channels > GitHub repos > HN > ArXiv > web
• Never paste raw URLs — use source names
• BAD: "per https://arxiv.org/abs/..." → GOOD: "per ArXiv"
• BAD: "per @x, @y, @z" → GOOD: "per @x" (pick strongest)

If QUERY_TYPE = RECOMMENDATIONS

Display Format

FIRST — What I learned:

CODEBLOCK2

THEN — Stats (copy EXACTLY, replacing placeholders):

The script outputs a stats block — display it as-is. If it doesn't appear, build one:

CODEBLOCK3

Omit any source line that returned 0 results.

LAST — Invitation (adapt to QUERY_TYPE):

Include 2-3 SPECIFIC suggestions based on research findings.

WAIT FOR USER'S RESPONSE

After showing results, STOP and wait.

WHEN USER RESPONDS

• - Question → Answer from research (no new searches)
• Go deeper → Elaborate using findings
• Create something → Write a tailored prompt
• Different topic → Run new research

Agent Mode (--agent flag)

If --agent in ARGUMENTS:

1. 1. Skip intro display
2. Skip AskUserQuestion calls
3. Run research + output report
4. Stop (no follow-up invitation)

Security & Permissions

What this skill does:

• - Searches 26+ public APIs and RSS feeds for research data
• Runs gh CLI for GitHub search (uses your existing auth)
• Runs yt-dlp for YouTube search (public data)
• Optionally uses ScrapeCreators API for TikTok/Instagram
• Stores cached results in ~/.cache/scry/ (24h TTL)

What this skill does NOT do:

• - Does not post, like, or modify content on any platform
• Does not access private accounts or data
• Does not share API keys between providers
• Does not write to any external service

Bundled scripts: scripts/scry.py (orchestrator), scripts/lib/ (shared utilities + source modules)
