Weekly Sentiment Summary

Weekly Sentiment Summary

Bigger-picture view for growth, product, and devex teams. Typically run Monday morning covering the prior week.

Uses the Octolens MCP server.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine date ranges

• This week: the most recent completed Mon–Sun (or the user-specified range)
• Prior week: the 7 days immediately before this week

Step 2: Fetch mentions for both weeks

1. Call list_mentions_context to get available keyword IDs and filter syntax.
2. Identify your product's keywords (look for keywords matching your product name, domain, and any known brand handles).

Setup required: Configure your product's keyword identifiers in Octolens before using this skill.

3. For each week, query list_mentions with those keyword IDs, relevance=[0], and the week's date range. Set endDate to the day after Sunday to ensure full coverage.
4. Set includeAll: false and limit: 100.
5. Paginate with cursor until exhausted or 500 mentions per week.

Step 3: Aggregate both weeks

For each week, count:

• pos, neu, neg by sentiment
• total = pos + neu + neg
• Tag distribution (bug_report, user_feedback, competitor_mention, buy_intent, product_question, etc.)

Step 4: Compute sentiment scores

For each week:

sentiment_score = ((pos - neg) / total) * 100

Range: -100 to +100. Round to nearest integer.

Compute deltas:

• Δ volume = this_week_total - prior_week_total
• Δ score = this_week_score - prior_week_score

Use + prefix for positive deltas, - for negative. Show as absolute numbers, not percentages.

Step 5: Identify patterns by sentiment (this week only)

Before analyzing, filter out:

• Employee posts (replies from your company's team members to users)
• Spam / reseller posts (e.g. discounted subscription sellers, engagement bait)
• Cross-post duplicates (same content on Twitter and Bluesky — count once, prefer higher-reach version)

For each sentiment category (Positive, Neutral, Negative), identify 3-5 key themes or patterns from this week. Focus on:

• What are users saying? What themes emerge?
• Are there patterns across multiple mentions?
• What's strategically meaningful vs. noise?

Writing style: same as daily skill — lead with pattern/theme, include mention count, provide 1-2 representative links.

For Positive section only: After pattern summaries, include 1-3 direct quotes that work as testimonials. Pick the most specific, enthusiastic quotes that show clear value. Format as:

_"[exact quote]"_ — <url|@username or source>

Step 6: Identify notable patterns

Compare this week vs prior week. Look for:

• Recurring themes: topics/features/complaints that appeared multiple times this week
• Trending tags: tags with significant volume changes vs prior week
• New signals: topics that appeared this week but not last week

Max 5 patterns. Each should include a delta or comparison when possible (e.g. "AI agent mentions up from 3 → 12 this week").

Step 7: Product feedback patterns

Scan this week's mentions tagged user_feedback, bug_report, product_question for recurring product feedback themes. Focus on specific features, workflows, or pain points mentioned multiple times.

Look for:

• Feature requests that appeared multiple times
• Specific bugs or technical issues with volume
• Pricing/credit feedback patterns
• UI/UX feedback themes

Summarize in 2–4 bullets with mention counts. Example: "Feature requests for BYOK on free plan (5 mentions)" or "UI lag complaints when long threads open (3 mentions)".

Step 8: Write markdown report and create PR

1. Format the report as a markdown file (~500 words max) using the template below.
2. Save it to reports/weekly_sentiment_analysis/weekly_sentiment_report_<end_date>.md where <end_date> is the Sunday of the covered week in YYYY-MM-DD format.
3. Create a new branch, commit the report, push, and open a PR.

Markdown template:

# Weekly Sentiment Summary — <start_date> → <end_date>

Omit any section that has no meaningful content.

Edge Cases

• Low volume week (<50 mentions): Still produce the report but note the low volume. Reduce highlight/lowlight counts proportionally.
• First run (no prior week data): Skip deltas and comparisons — just report this week's absolute numbers and note that week-over-week comparison will be available next week.
• Non-English mentions: Include if noteworthy, with language/region context in the takeaway.
