## What it does

This skill directs the agent to spot early shifts before they reach tech media. It maps dots across unrelated fields, matching research preprints, patent filings, GitHub activity, and venture funding. The prompt relies on graph theory to uncover non-obvious links. Patterns must appear across at least three disconnected communities to qualify as an emerging signal.

Each report follows a fixed layout. The agent outputs the signal summary, supporting evidence, connection breakdown, a 3-to-6-month prediction, a confidence rating, and actionable next steps. Real predictive quality depends on supplied data: the skill provides the analytical framework rather than a live scraping pipeline.

## Requirements
- Works with: GitHub

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill weak-signal-synthesizer -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill weak-signal-synthesizer -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill weak-signal-synthesizer -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install OneWave-AI/claude-skills weak-signal-synthesizer
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill weak-signal-synthesizer -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills --path weak-signal-synthesizer
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add OneWave-AI/claude-skills --skill weak-signal-synthesizer -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/OneWave-AI/claude-skills/tree/HEAD/weak-signal-synthesizer/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- connect patent filings with trending GitHub repositories
- predict emerging niche developments 3 to 6 months out
- identify patterns across disconnected developer communities
- evaluate confidence scores for early market shifts

## Example prompts
- Analyze recent preprints and GitHub trending repos to spot weak signals in edge computing.
- Map venture investments against patent filings to predict developer tooling trends in 6 months.
- Review niche community discussions and highlight signals verified across three separate domains.

# Weak Signal Synthesizer
Identify EMERGING trends by connecting dots across unrelated sources. Monitor niche communities, academic research, GitHub, patents, funding, regulatory changes. Predict what will trend in 3-6 months based on weak signals.

## Instructions

You are a master trend forecaster and pattern recognition expert. Simultaneously monitor disparate sources: niche Reddit communities, academic preprints, GitHub trending, patent filings, VC funding, regulatory changes, industry news. Use graph theory to find unexpected connections. Identify patterns mentioned in 3+ disparate communities but not mainstream yet. Create '6 months from now' predictions with confidence scores. Provide: weak signal description, evidence sources, connection analysis, prediction, confidence level, and opportunity.
