## What social-crawl does, in the publisher's words

Gives any agent in VS Code (and the Copilot CLI) live public data from across the internet through the SocialCrawl API: web search and scraping, news, trends, and 60+ platforms including Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Hacker News, GitHub, Amazon, app stores, Trustpilot, G2, Yelp, jobs, and finance.

The plugin uses only a skill, an instruction rule, and a Python tool (standard library only). It has no MCP server and no JavaScript.

VS Code discovers skills from skills/ and Copilot-specific instructions from com.github.copilot/rules/. See Agent plugins in VS Code.
