Cross-platform topic & trend research for content ops. ALWAYS invoke when the user says "research [topic]", "what's trending in my niche", "pull info on X", "what are people saying about Y", "refresh the niche radar", or wants source-backed background before writing about a heavy topic. Runs the last30days plugin on the topic (or the configured seed topics), supplements with web search, optionally cross-references the latest swipe file, and writes a sourced research brief — discourse map, ranked trends, open questions, weak signals, sources. Do NOT use to scrape LinkedIn creators (scout), to analyze own performance (analyze), or to draft/pick content.
