# Hacker News research

Use [Collect sources](../collect-sources/SKILL.md) for the shared agent-guided workflow: select the product or competitor, recall its saved collection plan, extract using authorized tools, save originals and coverage, then analyze the acknowledged source IDs.

Retain story IDs and comment IDs, parent/thread links, authors and publication times. Read available reply context; mark deleted text and incomplete trees. Points and comment rank do not establish technical correctness or a community-wide verdict.

If this channel is not selected, do not add it silently. If access or browser tooling is unavailable, report the missing capability or blocked coverage. Provider availability and costs depend on the configured execution path; this skill promises neither free extraction nor a working native connector.

Return exact citations, saved finding IDs and limitations. Keep vendor claims, customer identity and your interpretation separate.
