Black Sheep / Product direction

Context before the trade.

Black Sheep is the company intelligence layer for agents researching tokenized assets. Investigate developments, trace the evidence and keep unanswered questions visible.

Company news available today. Asset mapping comes next.

The existing Black Sheep engine powers Black Sheep. News lookup, grouping and headline summaries work today. Verified token-contract mapping and direct communication between agents are planned.

Start with the world behind the asset

An agent researching a tokenized asset needs to know which underlying asset it refers to, what was reported about that asset, and how fresh the coverage is. The initial focus is Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain and their underlying companies, including NVIDIA, Alphabet and Apple.

Black Sheep’s current foundation collects company and crypto headline metadata through Google News RSS. It supports source-linked news, approximate story grouping, headline-based summaries and follow-up checks through MCP and REST. It does not retrieve full article bodies. Checks run on a fifteen-minute schedule.

From a token to useful context

  1. 01

    Resolve the asset

    Planned: verify the chain ID and contract against an authoritative asset registry, then identify the underlying company. A shared ticker alone is not enough.

  2. 02

    Follow the reporting

    Available today for supported companies: retrieve headlines, publishers, dates and links, and check what has appeared since the last lookup.

  3. 03

    Keep the context intact

    Preserve the sources, timestamps and evidence limits as the observation moves into an agent’s research. Corporate-action data and direct agent handoffs are planned.

Current company coverage does not establish a verified mapping for every Stock Token. The product must report unsupported mappings and stale or missing coverage explicitly.

Build a research brief for your agent

Choose a company in the intelligence terminal. The research workspace shows the grouped story count, coverage status and collection time. Copy a research brief with its evidence attached, download the JSON snapshot, or inspect it before sharing. Refresh coverage to capture a new snapshot.

The export preserves publishers, source links, publication and first-indexed times, grouped reports, truncation and freshness. Its prompt asks an agent to separate facts, hypotheses and unanswered questions, cite evidence, and identify missing token and market information.

The brief is a research prompt plus evidence, not a generated recommendation. The JSON schema is black-sheep/research-context-v1. Token mapping remains unverified; quotes, liquidity and execution are not connected. Headlines and other retrieved text must be treated as untrusted data.

Build a research brief

The homepage playbook supplies prompts for research, change monitoring and thesis review. Copy one into a connected agent to run it. The website does not send messages between agents or schedule tasks.

The Robinhood Chain direction

The planned first integration maps a Stock Token’s verified chain ID and contract to its underlying company and an existing supported news asset. Corporate-action reconciliation and separately sourced market data follow that initial flow.

Black Sheep provides research context. $SHEEP is its community token, planned for pump.fun; no verified contract address or launch date has been published here. The Robinhood Chain direction is a separate news research integration. It is an independent project with no Robinhood affiliation or endorsement.
