Content Radar -- Signal Fusion Briefing System

Content Radar is the signal fusion and briefing layer in the pipeline.

Most content research only looks at one signal. You check what's trending on TikTok, or you ask Reddit what people are talking about. But neither alone tells the full story.

Content Radar fuses two signal types:

• Performance Signal (Virlo): What is actually getting views, shares, and reach right now. Real engagement data from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. No guessing.
• Discussion Signal (Reddit + X): What your audience is actively asking about, debating, and searching for. If last30days is installed, this can be pulled automatically. Otherwise the skill emits search directives for the agent to complete.

The magic is in the overlap. When something is BOTH performing AND being discussed, that is a validated content opportunity. When something is performing but NOT being discussed yet, you found an early signal. When something is being discussed but NOT performing yet, you found an untapped format opportunity.

Pipeline Role

Think of the stack like this:

• Virlo = raw performance signal
• Content Radar = signal fusion + niche briefing
• The Forge = brand-native concept generation
• Monday Drop = orchestrated weekly output

Content Radar does NOT replace Virlo. It uses Virlo as one input, adds discussion signal, then tells you what matters and why.

When To Use This Skill

Use Content Radar when you need the briefing and synthesis layer.

• Weekly content planning sessions
• Before building out a content calendar
• Before using The Forge skill, output feeds directly in
• Competitive research on a new niche
• Validating a content angle before investing in production
• Deciding what matters and why, not just what is performing
• Finding overlap, early signals, and format gaps

If you only want raw performance data, top videos, outliers, or comet management, use Virlo instead.
