Monitored Sources
The Research Agent scans these sources daily at 06:00 UTC for new content relevant to the library. When it finds something, it creates a link suggestion issue for the team to review.
How Sources Work
The agent monitors two types of sources:
| Type | How it works |
|---|---|
| RSS feeds | Parses RSS/Atom feeds for new entries since the last check. |
| GitHub Releases | Polls the GitHub Releases API for new versions of key repos. |
| Microsoft Learn search feeds | Uses dated RSS results to discover newly published or updated documentation. |
Each source has keyword filters (for example agent, agentic, and copilot) before deterministic curation rules assess whether the content is actionable for partners. Only content that passes both checks becomes a suggestion.
