Use `browser_site` with Stack Overflow adapters that exist in the runtime catalog. Prefer exact adapters such as: - `stackoverflow/search` - `stackoverflow/thread` 2. Read [references/adapter-examples.md](references/adapter-examples.md) when you need concrete adapter call patterns or fallback behavior. 3. Extract: - recurring implementation issues - setup or migration friction - whether interest looks broad or niche 4. Pair with `hackernews-browser-research` when developer discussion quality matters. ## Rules - Do not invent undocumented `stackoverflow/*` adapters. If the runtime catalog does not expose the one you need, say so and continue with the closest listed adapter. - Treat Stack Overflow as friction and adoption signal, not as direct business proof. - Separate novice setup issues from structural product weakness. --- > Source: [EthanAlgoX/MarketBot](https://github.com/EthanAlgoX/MarketBot) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
