Show HN: sc-research – Social media analysis skill for AI agents (Reddit and X) (github.com)
1 points by skainguyen1412 123 days ago
Hey HN! I built sc-research — an open source skill that gives AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) the ability to do social media analysis.

You just ask your agent something like "What do people think about product X?" or "What's trending this week?" and it goes out, pulls live discussions from Reddit and X, and comes back with structured results + interactive dashboards.

It can do rankings, sentiment breakdowns, trend timelines, controversy mapping, and topic discovery — all backed by real quotes from real people.

How it works: it pulls live discussions from Reddit (via OpenAI) and X (via xAI/Grok), classifies what kind of analysis your question needs (ranking, sentiment, trend, etc.), runs the analysis, and outputs structured JSON + an interactive dashboard. Install is just "npm install -g sc-research" and "sc-research init --ai claude".

Stack: Bun/Node, OpenAI + xAI APIs, Zod, Vite + TS for the dashboard.

Happy to answer any questions!
