AI social listening · market research · competitive intelligence — as one Claude Code skill.
No more $500/month social-listening dashboards you barely open. No more juggling a trend scanner in one tab and a scraper in another. No more copy-pasting Reddit threads, YouTube transcripts, and forum posts into a doc by hand.
Just ask. deep-reach scans what people said in the last 30 days, reads the real originals across 13+ platforms, and hands you a cited brief that tells you how much to trust it — in one skill, inside Claude Code.
You ask a question in plain language — "what do people really think about X?", "competitor research on Y, in users' own words", "is this niche worth it?" — and deep-reach runs the whole research loop for you:
① PULSE → ② DIG → ③ BRIEF
- Pulse — finds where your topic is hot right now and which way the conversation is moving.
- Dig — reads the full originals (posts, comment threads, video transcripts, articles) across Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu, V2EX, and the open web.
- Brief — writes a cited evidence brief with quoted sources, declared blind spots, and a trust rating (thick / medium / thin) so you never mistake a thin hunch for a hard finding.

| Enterprise listening suites | DIY tool-juggling | deep-reach | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $500–5,000 / mo | "free" (your hours) | free, open source |
| Setup | Sales call + onboarding | Glue 5 tools yourself | one skill, drop-in |
| Reads full originals | partial | manual | ✅ automatic |
| Chinese platforms (Bilibili/Xiaohongshu/Xueqiu) | rarely | hard | ✅ built in |
| Tells you how much to trust it | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ trust rating + blind spots |
| Real user quotes, cited | dashboards | copy-paste | ✅ quoted + linked |
| Lives where you work | separate app | many apps | ✅ inside Claude Code |
The pitch in one line: the reach of an enterprise intelligence suite and the freshness of a live trend scan — minus the price tag, the tab-juggling, and the guesswork about whether the answer is solid.
- 🔭 Social listening & buzz tracking — last-30-day pulse on any topic, brand, or event.
- 🧭 Market & competitor research — surface real complaints, praise, and demand signals in customers' own words.
- ✅ Product / niche validation — gather honest demand evidence before you build.
- 🗣️ Voice-of-customer mining — the exact phrases users use, ready to reverse into copy or keywords.
- 🌏 13+ platforms, English & Chinese — Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu, V2EX, web, and more.
- 🧪 Evidence discipline built in — every brief declares its coverage, its blind spots, and a trust rating. No dressed-up guesses.
- 🔒 Private & free-first — zero-account by default; never touches your main accounts or your daily-browser cookies.
# 1. Add the skill to Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/Runesmith-Studio/deep-reach.git
cp -r deep-reach/skills/deep-reach ~/.claude/skills/That's it — start asking. For the deepest multi-platform reach, deep-reach can also drive two optional research engines if present (it sets them up for you):
# optional power-ups (recommended for full reach)
pipx install https://github.com/Panniantong/agent-reach/archive/main.zip
agent-reach install --env=auto # free multi-platform channels
pipx install bilibili-cli # login-free Bilibili search
# + the last30days skill: https://github.com/mvanhorn/last30days-skillWithout them, deep-reach still works wherever your Claude host exposes web search/fetch — just with shallower reach. It will always tell you what it couldn't cover rather than pretend.
Just ask Claude things like:
- "research what people actually say about <topic>, dig into the originals"
- "competitor research on <product> — real user complaints, cited"
- "is <niche> worth building? show me real demand signals"
deep-reach runs Pulse → Dig → Brief and writes the result to ./research/.
Issues and PRs welcome. If deep-reach saved you a research scramble, a ⭐ helps others find it.
deep-reach is an orchestration skill. Full credit to the open tools it can build on: last30days and agent-reach.
