Ran 15-way blinded comparison (5 topics x 3 versions). CROSS won all 5 topics (4.74/5.0 avg vs HN 4.10, Base 3.73). Then improved CROSS further: - dedupe.py: hybrid similarity (token+trigram Jaccard) at 0.40 threshold, cross-source links went from 3 to 13 items across 5 topics - render.py: [xref: HN5, HN4] -> [also on: HN, Reddit] for human-readable tags - youtube_yt.py: SYNONYMS dict so "hip hop" matches "rap" (0.33 -> 0.71 score) - SKILL.md: instruction #7 tells Claude to lead with cross-platform signals Validation: improved CROSS scores 4.38/5.0 vs original 3.98 (+0.40), wins 4/5 topics. Biggest gains in specificity (+0.8) and format compliance (+1.0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
