interesting-finding Workflow

Channel Details

• Channel: #interesting-finding
• Channel ID: 1471924730113163398
• Rule: Every response MUST be in a thread — never reply in the main channel.

Step-by-Step Workflow

1. Fetch the content

web_fetch(url)

Extract the main body. If the URL fails, try web_search with the title as fallback.

2. Analyze and summarize

Produce a compact analysis (not a full recap). Include:

• 核心观点 — what's the key argument or finding?
• 为什么有意思 — relevance to Sober's interests (AI, dev tools, self-hosting, health, psychology)
• 可行动的部分 — anything concrete to try, apply, or follow up on
• 相关链接/来源 (if any)

Keep it under 500 chars for Discord thread readability. Dense > verbose.

3. Create Discord thread (CRITICAL: follow exactly)

# Step A — create thread (NO message param)
message(action=thread-create, messageId=<original_message_id>, threadName=<short title>)

# Step B — send analysis to the thread
message(action=send, target=<threadId returned from step A>, message=<analysis>)

⚠️ Common mistakes:

• ❌ Do NOT pass message param to thread-create — it won't appear in the thread
• ❌ Do NOT use thread-reply — it posts to the main channel instead
• ✅ threadId = same as original messageId

4. Save to knowledge base

Append a distilled note to the appropriate memory/kb/ file:

KB entry format:

### [YYYY-MM-DD] Title or short description
- Source: <url>
- Key insight: <1-2 sentences>
- Why it matters: <optional, if non-obvious>
- Action: <optional, concrete next step>

5. Git commit

cd /home/sober/clawd && git add memory/kb/ && git commit -m "kb: add [topic] note from #interesting-finding"

Heartbeat Check

During heartbeat, scan #interesting-finding for new messages:

message(action=read, channel=1471924730113163398, limit=10)

Process any unprocessed links (no existing thread). Skip messages that already have threads or are just casual comments.

Tone for Thread Posts

• 中文优先（Sober 是中文用户）
• 直接进入正题，不写"这篇文章讲了…"这种废话
• 有主见 — 说值不值得读，为什么有意思
• 对不值得深挖的东西也可以直接说"不重要"
