When to use this skill

Activate when the user prompt sounds like any of:

• "What's hot right now in <niche>?"
• "What's blowing up in <space>?"
• "What's trending in <topic / industry>?"
• "Show me what's getting attention in <community> this morning."

The signal here is recency — the user wants to know what people are reacting to now, not a deep read on one thing. For a curated read on one named topic, use notslop-digest.

Setup (one-time)

The user must have run npx notslop init and configured:

• A ZeroEntropy API key (free at https://dashboard.zeroentropy.dev).
• Optionally: X handles, blog URLs, Orthogonal key.

If config is missing, the CLI prints an actionable error. Surface it to the user verbatim and stop.

Steps

1. Extract the niche from the user's prompt. Examples: "AI agents", "local LLMs", "devtools".
2. Pick a --since window. The trending command defaults to 6h; bump to 24h only if the niche is slow-moving.
3. Run via Bash:

``bash npx notslop@latest trending "<NICHE>" --since <WINDOW> --format md ``

1. Parse the markdown output. Preserve source tags and URLs.
2. Return a ranked list — 5 to 10 items, one line each, source tag + URL preserved. Lead with the highest-ranked item.

Example

User: "What's hot right now in AI agents?"

→ Run: npx notslop@latest trending "AI agents" --since 6h --format md

→ Return the top 5–10 items as a short ranked list with source tags and URLs.
