Output
The digest script fetches raw data. The agent then summarizes it for the user in this format:
Mailing list: Numbered list, each item with:
Bold title — 1-2 sentence ELI10 explanation with a touch of dry humor
Thread link
Commits: Bullet list of notable merges with PR links.
Keep summaries accessible — explain like the reader is smart but not a Bitcoin Core contributor. Dry humor welcome, not forced.
Archive
Raw data archived to ~/workspace/bitcoin-dev-archive/YYYY-MM-DD/:
mailing-list/*.json— full thread content per topicmailing-list/_index.json— thread indexcommits.json— raw commit datasummary.md— generated summary
Daily Cron
Set up via Clawdbot cron to run every morning. The digest script fetches, archives, and outputs a summary that the agent then sends to the user.
