Daily summary of bitcoindev mailing list + Bitcoin Core commits.
*Made in 🤠 Texas ❤️ [PlebLab](https://pleblab.dev)*
## Commands
Run via: `node ~/workspace/skills/bitcoin-daily/scripts/digest.js <command>`
| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `digest [YYYY-MM-DD]` | Fetch & summarize (default: yesterday) | | `archive` | List all archived digests | | `read <YYYY-MM-DD>` | Read a past summary |
## 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 topic - `mailing-list/_index.json` — thread index - `commits.json` — raw commit data - `summary.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.
