What brand-monitoring does

The skill runs scripts/monitor.py against four sources: Reddit through its public JSON API, Google News through RSS, DuckDuckGo through the Instant Answer API, and YouTube through HTML and RSS. Each run returns mention volume, a platform breakdown, sentiment split into positive, neutral and negative, trending keywords, and share-of-voice against competitors. Basic monitoring needs no API key.

Crisis detection is built in. Above 40% negative mentions the skill marks a crisis and tells you to respond right away; between 20% and 40% it points you at the sources to investigate. Reports include a 7-day trend graph and a list of spikes.

Source reliability varies. Google News and DuckDuckGo behave, Reddit hits rate limits, and YouTube is parsed from HTML, so a markup change can break it. Space out your runs if you monitor often. There is a --demo mode for checking the output format without real requests.

What it helps with

  • pull brand mentions from four platforms into one report
  • measure the negative share and catch a spike the day it starts
  • compare share of voice against competitors
  • extract trending keywords from reviews and threads
  • produce a weekly report on mention volume

Example prompts for the agent

  • Run brand-monitoring for my brand over the last 7 days
  • Compare my brand against CompA and CompB on Reddit and Google News
  • Run brand-monitoring in demo mode so I can see the report format

What does brand-monitoring do?

It collects brand mentions from Reddit, Google News, YouTube and DuckDuckGo, classifies sentiment, tracks mention volume over time and compares you with competitors. It also detects negative spikes and raises crisis alerts.

Does the skill need an API key?

No key is required for basic monitoring, since Reddit, Google News and DuckDuckGo are queried through public endpoints. Keep in mind that Reddit rate-limits requests and that YouTube parsing relies on HTML, which can break when the page changes.
