# Themes

Recurring topics, signals, and trends observed across Robin's sources. Detailed evidence and item lists live on the relevant `/sources/<connector>.md` or topic page; this file is the index.

Index kept narrow by design: only themes that map to Robin's actual work (life-sciences PM at Femtobiomed / 9X Bio, CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink / Femtobiomed product portfolio, plus the AI agent tooling stack that drives his daily workflow). High-engagement HN topics outside this scope are noted in `/sources/hackernews.md` under "Themes not refreshed this run" but are not promoted to theme rows here.

## Notes

- Promote a watchlist signal to a full theme row only after it recurs or comes from a high-quality source.
- Keep prose here to 1-2 sentences per theme; link out for detail.
- HN evidence rules: low-engagement items are watchlist by default; promotion requires recurrence, strong engagement, or corroboration.
- **Scope discipline (per `~/.openwiki/INSTRUCTIONS.md`)**: themes that do not anchor to one of (a) the 4 vendor product lines (CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink / Femtobiomed), (b) Robin's active customers, (c) the 4 application domains (3D cell culture, 3D bioprinting, neuroscience in vitro, organoid workflows), or (d) the daily-driver AI agent stack (Hermes Agent, MiniMax, OpenWiki, RAGFlow, NocoDB, SeaFile) → drop from this index even when HN engagement is high.
- Topic rows like `coding-agent-tooling`, `context-engineering-claude5`, `ai-safety-debate`, `open-weight-ai`, `computer-use-agents`, `codex-openai`, `llm-on-old-hardware`, `local-LLM-stream` are deliberately absent here. Their evidence lives in `/sources/hackernews.md` for traceability but they do not earn a `themes.md` row.
- Vendor brand signal: CelVivo, 3Brain, Cellink, ClinoStar, ClinoReactor, Femtobiomed CellShot/CellPick/TriArm still have **no material Hacker News footprint** (see `/sources/hackernews.md` query-hit table). The web-search connector (Tavily) is the better lane for these — see `/sources/web-search.md` for the first pull on 2026-07-26.
- **Five-theme synthesis layer (per `~/.openwiki/INSTRUCTIONS.md` user scope):** `/themes/01-organoid-equipment.md` (CelVivo / 3Brain), `/themes/02-bioprinting.md` (Cellink / BIONOVA), `/themes/03-ai-agents.md` (Hermes / Codex / MiniMax code / OpenWiki), `/themes/04-local-llm.md` (Ollama / bge-reranker / RAGFlow / LM Studio), `/themes/05-robin-research.md` (vault deep reads + sales ammunition + CRM + work rhythm). All 5 are generated as of the 2026-08-07 update; this row index (above) is the recurring-signal index, distinct from the 5-theme synthesis layer.
