Tell your agent whether you need stories, comments, users or a discussion around a specific topic. It can preserve thread context and source identity instead of reducing conversations to isolated quotes.
Describe the product decision, pain point, launch or technical claim you want to investigate and the useful time period. Give known stories, authors or terms as seeds, then let the agent discover the relevant submissions and complete discussions.
Threads can reveal practitioner concerns, technical arguments, launch reactions and source links. Visibility reflects timing and community voting, so it should not be treated as representative market sentiment.
Ask the agent to retain story and comment links, parent context and timestamps, identify disagreement and distinguish firsthand evidence from speculation.
This prompt uses threads as contextual technical evidence.
