What it does
Tech Radar — answers "what's trending in tech right now?" by aggregating across Hacker News, GitHub trending, arXiv recent papers, Reddit tech subreddits, YC company directory, Show HN, and crowdfunding (Kickstarter / Indiegogo). Use when the user asks for a tech digest, what's hot in AI / dev tools / hardware, what people are building, what just launched, or wants to surface 10-20 ideas worth paying attention to. Returns a flat ranked feed plus per-source buckets so an agent can drill in.
The Tech Radar Search skill is one of 75+ pre-wired Syncore integrations that any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT desktop — can call out of the box. You don't configure MCP servers or copy API keys into a JSON file; the Syncore daemon discovers the skill at startup and exposes its tools to whichever AI client is running.
Sample prompts
Once Syncore is installed and Tech Radar Search is connected, ask your agent something like:
- “Tech Radar Search radar search from Tech Radar Search.”
- “Github Trending trending from Tech Radar Search.”
- “Arxiv Recent recent from Tech Radar Search.”
