What This Skill Does

Searches Twitter and Reddit to identify people with demonstrated, technical knowledge in a given domain. Uses tiered keyword queries, from core terms to deep jargon, to find authors who discuss a topic beyond surface level. Ranks candidates by domain depth, posting consistency, and peer recognition, then produces a scored report with profile data and representative quotes.

Follower counts and bio keywords miss people who actually know a subject — this finds them by analyzing what they post, not how they describe themselves.

When to use it

  • Finding researchers to interview before writing a technical deep-dive
  • Sourcing candidates for a niche engineering role
  • Building a KOL list before a product or content launch
  • Mapping who shapes opinion in a competitor's space
  • Identifying active Reddit contributors with hands-on knowledge of a specific framework

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

  3. 3Aggregates authors by post frequency across tiers, weighting technical-tier posts highest
  4. 4Fetches profiles for the top 20-30 authors and classifies each as Deep Expert, Practitioner, Thought Leader, Evangelist, or Educator
  5. 5Scores each candidate on domain depth, consistency, and peer recognition, then compiles a ranked report
OUTPUT

Ranked expert report listing usernames, expert type, score out of 100, follower count, and a representative post quote for each
