What it does

When you ask for trending topics, the agent reads a list of configured sources (such as Hacker News, Reddit, YouTube, Bilibili or Weibo hot lists), collects today's popular items, removes ones you already have or already rejected, gives each a rough score, and proposes the best ones for you to add to a candidates.md file. You choose which to keep. It is meant to solve the 'I have no content ideas' problem. Per the file, the default source is only manual-paste, where you paste links or titles yourself; other sources are described in separate adapter files that were not provided.

Great for

  • Creators who need a steady pool of topic ideas and do not want to hunt for them daily
  • Marketers who want a quick list of what is trending in their niche before planning posts

Skip it if

  • Users who need guaranteed accurate scores: the scoring is explicitly a rough, snapshot-based filter, not a reliable prediction of performance
  • Users who expect it to scrape platforms like Douyin without setup: the file says this fails without cookies and points to a separate configuration document

Try asking

  • “抓热点”
  • “find topics for today”
  • “trending now”
  • “今天有什么可做的”

Get better results

  • Start with the default manual-paste source, which is the most reliable, and add other sources once they work
  • Review the rough composite scores as a filter only and confirm the final angle yourself before writing content
  • Keep the dedupe history intact so the same trends are not suggested repeatedly
