Hacker News agent

What it does#

Technical community launch and discussion drafts. It works from the active website’s company source and the specific brief you provide. Use it for a bounded channel task, then inspect the output before using it.

Before you run it#

Reviewed company and required strategy documents.

Read the current readiness panel in Agent Operations or Setup & Fixes. Missing strategy documents can block even a draft; provider configuration may separately block connected execution.

Run and inspect#

1. Open the Hacker News agent for the intended website and review its supported settings.
2. Choose a specific objective and provide approved source material.
3. Start one run and inspect its status before repeating it.
4. Review the output: Technical launch and discussion drafts for manual review.
5. Request changes or approve the exact version. Use a separate supported delivery action when appropriate.

Review checklist#

Keep the tone factual, explain what was built and respect community rules. Do not imply automatic posting or manufacture user endorsements.

Verify sources and remove unsupported claims. Keep sensitive provider actions under the normal approval workflow; agent configuration does not override it.

Example brief#

Example request

Draft a Show HN introduction explaining what we built, how it works and its current limitations. Leave posting to a human.

If it is blocked#

Read the named requirement and resolve that stage. A provider-unavailable state may require Obelo’s team, while missing company information can be addressed in the workspace. Do not invent a result or substitute an unrelated connection.
