description: Weekly Obsidian digest of subscope activity. Builds a sub × surface heat map plus tier counts for the trailing 7 days, writes it as a dated markdown note to the user's Obsidian vault. Optional — skipped if Obsidian vault not configured. Triggers on "weekly pulse", "/subscope-pulse", "obsidian pulse digest", "reddit engage weekly recap", "what did subscope surface this week".
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write
/subscope-pulse
Weekly reflection layer. Notion is the daily-triage surface; Obsidian is the weekly-review surface where you spot patterns over time.
Preflight
Check for Obsidian vault config:
cat ~/.config/subscope/obsidian.yml 2>/dev/null
Expected shape:
vault_path: /Users/dan/Documents/MyVault
pulse_folder: subscope # optional, defaults to 'subscope'
If `obsidian.yml` missing: print "Obsidian vault not configured. Run `/subscope-onboard` to wire it (or drop `~/.config/subscope/obsidian.yml` with a `vault_path:` line manually), then re-run."
Generate digest
cd "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT" && PYTHONPATH=engine python3 -c "
from subscope.lib import store, obsidian_sync
with store.connect() as conn:
print(obsidian_sync.build_weekly_digest(conn))
"That prints the markdown digest content to stdout.
Write to Obsidian
Use the **obsidian MCP** to write the digest:
1. Compute the filename: `YYYY-WNN-pulse.md` (current ISO week) 2. Compute the path: `<vault_path>/<pulse_folder>/<filename>` (create the folder if missing) 3. Call `mcp__obsidian__create-note` with that path and the markdown body from the previous step
If obsidian MCP not available (rare — Dan has it installed by default), fall back to writing the file via the host filesystem (`Bash: mkdir -p ... && cat > ...`).
After write
Print one line:
Pulse written: <vault_path>/<pulse_folder>/<filename> (N surfaces this week)
Do not print the digest body. Dan reads it in Obsidian.

subscope reads Reddit for you and hands you the threads worth replying to: the people shopping for what you sell, and the questions you can answer to build authority. Run it whenever you want.
