Opportunity Scout

Hunt for real, expressed user pain points and unmet demand across Reddit, HN, and configurable sources. Finds demand signals like frustration posts, feature...

This skill appears to do what it says: configure niches, generate queries, ingest search results (via a host-provided web_search tool), score signals, and write a markdown digest and history files. Before installing or running it, do the following: 1) Inspect scripts/scan_sources.py and scripts/score_signals.py (and any other truncated/omitted files) for any hard-coded network endpoints, HTTP POST calls, or telemetry — those scripts perform the core network/processing work and were not fully shown. 2) Confirm what the agent's web_search tool does and which service it queries — ensure it's trusted and that queries/results won't be forwarded to untrusted third parties. 3) Choose an output directory that isn't automatically synced to cloud backups (e.g., avoid saving digests to a synced Obsidian vault if you care about scraped content privacy). 4) If you plan to run scheduled scans (cron), run initial scans manually and review generated findings to ensure the tool only collects intended public posts. If you can share the full contents of scan_sources.py and score_signals.py, I can re-evaluate with higher confidence.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: nai-opportunity-scout Version: 1.0.0 The opportunity-scout skill bundle is a market research tool designed to identify business opportunities by scanning platforms like Reddit and Hacker News for user pain points. The scripts (scan_sources.py, score_signals.py, history.py, etc.) perform local data processing, scoring, and report generation without any suspicious network activity, unauthorized file access, or obfuscated code. The workflow relies on the agent's built-in web_search tool and follows the instructions provided in SKILL.md, which are clearly aligned with the stated purpose of finding market gaps.
