Usage

/scout-tools
/scout-tools "MCP servers"
/scout-tools "AI terminal tools"

Optionally pass a focus area. Without one, the agent scouts broadly for anything new and trending.

What it does

  1. Runs up to 4 web searches to find AI coding tools launched or trending in the last 90 days
  2. Cross-checks against content/tools/ — skips anything already indexed
  3. For each new tool found:
    • Creates content/tools/<slug>.json with verified data
    • Adds a corresponding article idea to content/ideas.md
  4. Reports a summary: tools added, ideas seeded, any tools skipped (already indexed or out of niche)

Output format
