Reader Deep Dive 🤿

Your reading list shouldn't be a write-only memory. This skill checks what you've saved recently, finds connected ideas from your deep archive (last 3 days, 3 months, or years ago), and sends you a high-signal briefing with context on why you should revisit them.

It turns "I saved that somewhere" into "Here is the timeline of your thinking on this topic."

How it works

  1. Scans Recent Saves: Checks your Readwise Reader "new" folder for the last 24 hours.
  2. Identifies Themes: Uses your system's default LLM to figure out your current obsession.
  3. Temporal Context: Searches your library history and finds relevant items from different timeframes.
  4. Delivers Briefing: Sends a WhatsApp message with a "Deep Dive" summary connecting your current saves to your past library.

Setup

  1. Get your Access Token from readwise.io/access_token.
  2. Set it in your environment:
    export READWISE_TOKEN="your_token_here"
    

Usage

Manual Trigger:

bash scripts/brief.sh

Schedule (Cron): Run it every afternoon at 2 PM:

clawdbot cron add --id reader_brief --schedule "0 14 * * *" --command "bash scripts/brief.sh"

Customization

You can tweak the prompt in prompts/briefing.txt if you want a different tone or format. By default, it uses a clean, WhatsApp-friendly style.
