Track topics with a personal intelligence agent
A user turned Claude Code into a personal intelligence agent using CLAUDE.md and skills for data collection and analysis, watching topics and surfacing things they might miss. · Mar 1, 2026
- What They Did
- The user built Signex inside Claude Code to monitor topics they describe in plain language, replacing a manual routine of checking HN, GitHub Trending, Reddit, Product Hunt, arXiv, and other sources. CLAUDE.md sets the agent’s behavior, while separate sensor skills collect data and lens skills analyze it; the user then gives feedback like what to ignore or investigate more deeply, and the system adjusts future reports.
- How It Went
- After about a week of daily use, the user said it cut their routine from roughly an hour of scanning to a 2-minute report focused on what mattered. The post does not give quantitative results beyond that or describe specific misses or failures.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch stated is that this was only described after about a week of use, so the evidence shared is early and anecdotal.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
Set up a personal intelligence agent for me. Create a CLAUDE.md that explains I want to track [topics, e.g. my industry, a competitor, a technology] and what counts as important to me, then build a skill that collects recent news and sources on those topics and writes a short briefing in [folder or file]. You're done when I can run one command and get a briefing that highlights the 3 to 5 things I'm most likely to miss.
