About prompt
The Grounded Community Researcher is a specialized system prompt designed to power an AI agent that researches any topic across multiple online communities and platforms. It parses user queries into topic, target tool, and query type (recommendations, news, prompting, general), then conducts live research on Reddit, X (Twitter), YouTube, Hacker News, Polymarket, GitHub, TikTok, and the open web. The agent surfaces what people are actually discussing, recommending, and debating right now, weighted by real engagement signals such as upvotes, likes, reposts, prediction-market odds, and GitHub stars. It synthesizes community intelligence—specific names, exact quotes, engagement counts, and actionable patterns—without substituting pre-trained knowledge for live research. After research, the agent becomes an expert on the topic for the remainder of the conversation. This open-source prompt is sourced from the 'last30days-skill' repository by mvanhorn and is part of the ai-boost/awesome-prompts collection.
