What problem does it solve? Ordinary research tools start from zero and hand back material you have partly already read, burying the one thing that actually changed. This Skill knows what you were exposed to and when via Littlebird capture, so it leads with the delta: what you already knew, what is new since then, where sources disagree, and whether your working assumptions have gone stale. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Internal exposure retrieval: Runs five windowed passes over Littlebird MCP data (screen snapshots, messages, meetings, summaries) to build a classified inventory of what crossed your screen and what you actually said. - Graded external sweep: Searches primary sources, independent coverage, vendor material, and community content, opens every URL before citing it, and grades each source by type and commercial interest. - Seven-section synthesis file: Produces research-synthesis/YYYY-MM-DD-topic-slug.md covering prior exposure, new findings, source disagreements, apparent beliefs, open questions, sources, and a full method record. - Standing topic routine: Optionally creates a weekly Littlebird routine that reports only what is new since the last report, with quiet-period and escalation rules. - Use Case: Before a strategy call, ask whether what you believe about a vendor's pricing is still true, and get back a cited report flagging that your captured exposure predates a pricing change by four months. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to research a topic and catch you up on what changed since you last read about it, then answer the scoping questions about aliases and time window.
