Claude Skills
The open format is called Agent Skills and works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents — most people know it as Claude Skills.

Turn new AI names or unstructured AI market signals into a keyword priority table. For each name it finds the generic search terms downstream of it, screens them for relevance, and checks novelty, demand size and momentum against Google Ads volume and Google Trends, ending in prioritize, watch or skip. Use when the user has new model, product or repository names (or an AI listening report, a batch of posts, a changelog) and asks which keywords to build pages or tools for. Runs the new-term-radar command line; needs an AISA_API_KEY, and a GOANYAPI_API_KEY improves it.
