+# Gurisingh Scout
+
+## Overview
+
+Guri Singh's feed is a high-signal firehose of "someone just open-sourced X for
+Claude Code / AI agents". This skill harvests that signal, resolves the real
+GitHub repo behind each pick, and turns it into an **adopt / watch / skip**
+decision for Steve's specific stack — never a hype relay, and never an
+auto-install. Discovery and scoring run freely; installing anything is gated.
+
+## When to use
+
+- A periodic sweep: "what's worth adopting that Guri Singh posted lately?"
+- A one-off: Steve drops an `@heygurisingh` or `gurisaroy` link (often a
+  suspended/tombstoned X URL) and asks "what is this and should I use it?"
+- A wider sweep of newly open-sourced Claude Code / agent tooling, using Guri
+  Singh as the anchor plus the similar sources in `references/sources.md`.
+
+## Workflow
+
+### 1. Retrieve (fan out — never trust one source)
+X blocks unauthenticated reads and the account is **intermittently suspended**,
+so an X failure ≠ "no new picks". Follow `references/retrieval-playbook.md`:
+discover with host `WebSearch` (+ the web-researcher agent; Exa is OFF per the no-exa rule), pull full bodies
+from the **LinkedIn `gurisaroy` mirror** or Thread Reader, and only use direct-X
+hydration when the account is live. Read `references/sources.md` for the exact
+handles, mirrors, and query strings.
+
+For a specific tweet id/URL, get the verbatim text + repo links:
+```bash
+node scripts/hydrate-tweet.js <tweet-id-or-url>   # exit 3 = tombstone → use mirrors
+```
+
+### 2. Extract candidates
+For each post naming an open-source tool, capture: **tool name**, **GitHub
+repo**, **one-line what-it-does**, **category** (claude-skill | claude-plugin |
+CLI/TUI | MCP server | agent framework | prompt-pack). Resolve `lnkd.in`/`t.co`
+shortlinks to the real repo.
+
+### 3. Enrich each repo (hard signals)
+```bash
+node scripts/gh-repo-stats.js <github-url-or-owner/repo>
+```
+Returns stars, license, `days_since_push`, archived, `is_claude_skill`
+(detects `SKILL.md` / `.claude/` / plugin manifest), and quick `flags`. Set
+`GITHUB_TOKEN` in env to avoid the 60/hr unauthenticated rate limit.
+
+### 4. Dedupe against what Steve already has
+Before crediting novelty, check for an existing equivalent (procedure in
+`references/adoption-rubric.md`):
+```bash
+ls ~/.claude/skills/ | grep -i "<keyword>"
+grep -ril "<capability>" ~/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+If he already has it, the useful output is a **diff**, not a redundant recommend.
+
+### 5. Score & decide
+Apply the six-dimension rubric in `references/adoption-rubric.md` (stack fit,
+novelty, leverage, install cost, trust/license, safety). Verdict bands:
+**≥14 ADOPT · 9–13 WATCH · ≤8 SKIP.**
+
+### 6. Deliver — shortlist + gated memos
+Output a ranked table:
+`Tool | Repo (stars, license, last-push) | What it does | Category | Dedupe | Score | Verdict | 1-line reason`.
+For each **ADOPT**, draft a short memo to
+`~/.claude/yolo-queue/pending-approval/` with what it is, why it fits, exact
+install steps, **cost** (always show it — most scans are `$0 local`; discovery is $0 free WebSearch, Exa is OFF per the no-exa rule), risks, and an APPROVE/REVISE/BLOCK line.
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- **Never auto-install.** `git clone`, `/plugin install`, `npx` on an unfamiliar
+  tool, pasting into `~/.claude`, or adding a paid key are all gated →
+  pending-approval. The deliverable is a decision-ready shortlist; adoption is
+  Steve's call.
+- **An X/tombstone failure is not "nothing new"** — fall back to mirrors.
+- **Show costs** on every run (discovery is $0 free WebSearch (Exa is OFF per the no-exa rule); scripts are `$0`).
+- **Log real wins only** — a pick that actually gets adopted, not the scan.
+
+## Resources
+
+- `scripts/hydrate-tweet.js` — resolve one X post → verbatim text + GitHub links,
+  no auth, `$0` (computes the syndication token locally). Exit 3 on tombstone.
+- `scripts/gh-repo-stats.js` — GitHub repo → stars/license/freshness + Claude-skill
+  detection, feeds the rubric. Honors `GITHUB_TOKEN`.
+- `references/sources.md` — handles, mirrors, similar sources, suspension note.

+  procedure and failure-mode reads.
+- `references/adoption-rubric.md` — the six-dimension scoring model, dedupe
