How do I find relevant Hacker News threads every day and draft comments to reply with?

the agent that answers this

Daily Hacker News comment drafts. Every day, find the Hacker News threads in your expertise areas and draft authoritative, non-promotional comments, held for manual approval before posting.

Every day, this agent pulls the last 24 hours of Hacker News threads in your areas of expertise, ranks them by how good an opening they give for a substantive technical reply, and drafts a non-promotional comment for each of the best ones -- in your voice, rewritten so it doesn't read as AI-generated. Nothing posts automatically: every draft is held for your review and edit first.

editorial example

Example: a day's ready-to-post HN comment digest

A short digest of ready-to-post comment drafts, each tied to its thread's permalink, covering the day's most relevant Hacker News threads in your expertise areas -- written in a technical, non-promotional voice and left for you to review, edit, and post yourself.

Example output, to show the shape of the deliverable. It has not run on your data. Build the agent to get this on yours.

keep in mind

Drafts only -- HN replies are always manual in this agent, by design; nothing is posted without your explicit review and edit of each comment. Relevance is scoped to the expertise areas you configure (defaults to AI agents, developer tools, and startups) -- a different focus area needs that configuration changed. Comment quality depends on the thread actually having room for a substantive, non-promotional reply; thin threads get skipped rather than forced.
