Fresh social context for AI agents. Reddit, Hacker News, blogs, X — reranked by ZeroEntropy, piped into Claude Code via 19 skills.

What it does

You ask Claude Code to write a tweet, a blog post, a Reddit reply, a cold DM. Claude has no idea what's being said today on the topic, so the output reads like every other AI-generated post. notslop fixes the data layer: a shell command that pulls today's actual discussions and hands them to the agent before it writes.

$ notslop digest "Claude Code skills" --since 24h --top 5

Install

npx notslop init             # configure your ZE key + sources (one-time)
npx notslop install --claude # drop 19 skills into ~/.claude/skills/

The CLI works in any shell. The skills make it talk to Claude Code naturally.

Two ways to use it

1. Direct CLI — works in any agent's shell (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Continue):

notslop digest "RAG production" --since 24h --top 10
notslop trending "agentic coding" --since 6h
notslop pulse "Anthropic" --window 7d
notslop voices "AI safety" --top 10
notslop find-related "https://your-draft-url"

2. Inside Claude Code (natural language) — after install --claude:

You: "write me a tweet about Claude Code skills"
Claude → runs `notslop digest "Claude Code skills" --for-content` in bash
Claude → reads the JSON, picks 2 specific data points
Claude → writes the tweet citing real posts from today

You get a tweet grounded in real signal instead of generic AI slop.

Hosted gateway (optional)

A companion API exists at github.com/adrienckr/notslop-api. If you don't want to wire Orthogonal + run the scraping yourself, the CLI can pull raw posts from a hosted instance:

notslop digest "RAG" --api https://api.notslop.dev

The gateway is stateless — it never sees your ZeroEntropy key (rerank runs locally), and it doesn't store any record of who called it. Source code is MIT, self-host with fly launch.

Sources & providers

If you want to use…	You need	Cost
Reddit, HN, blogs (default)	nothing	free
X (Twitter)	an Orthogonal account	~$0.02 per handle scrape ($10 free at signup)
Rerank + embed (recommended)	a ZeroEntropy account	free tier covers most

ZeroEntropy is the only required key — skip X and Reddit/HN/blogs still cover ~95% of AI/dev signal. Full per-source setup walkthroughs are in PROVIDERS.md. Run notslop sources to see what's wired and what's missing on your machine; notslop sources --check x live-tests a source.

Configuration

notslop init writes ~/.notslop/config.json. Env overrides for the values you'd rotate:

ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY      required for rerank/embed
ORTHOGONAL_API_KEY       optional, for X scraping
NOTSLOP_API_URL          point at a hosted notslop-api instance

Notes

Built by @adrienckr. The CLI reads your ZeroEntropy key locally and never sends it to any third party — rerank and embed happen on your machine. The included notslop-api companion can be self-hosted if you don't want to use the hosted instance.
