How does it avoid sending the same alert twice?

The skill maintains a state file (.research_state.json) that tracks the URLs of all alerted findings to ensure you only receive notifications for new information.

How does Topic Monitor decide which alerts are urgent?

It uses an AI importance scorer that evaluates findings based on signal freshness, keyword density, and your personalized context to categorize results as high, medium, or low priority.

Can I schedule the monitor to run automatically?

Yes, the skill includes a setup_cron.py script that helps you configure automated hourly, daily, or weekly monitoring intervals.

Which notification channels are supported?

Topic Monitor supports multiple alert channels including Telegram, Discord webhooks, and standard SMTP email configuration.

Does it integrate with my existing Claude conversations?

Yes, it can scan your conversation history or a dedicated memory_hints.md file to provide personalized summaries that explain relevance based on your previous work.
