Content Mine

CONTENT_MINE — sessions → funnel drafts (draft-first, taste delegated to me)

GOAL: mine our Claude Code sessions for content-worthy MOMENTS and drop them as DRAFTS into the content-factory funnel. Publishing happens only on the operator's explicit "+" through /episode. Nothing goes out.

The operator delegated the taste call — "what deserves to be content" — to me (2026-07-08). I don't ask what to add; I decide.

PATHS:

• Engine: $IMPORTS_ROOT/content-factory\content_miner.py (same family as alpha-extraction / intention_mine; reads the live vault_sessions pool).
• Funnel (intake): content-factory\triage\posts.jsonl (+ posts.md), source_kind: session. Writes through voice_triage.py append (dedup/upsert).
• Digest: content-factory\miner\candidates\cand-latest.md. Ledger: miner\captured.jsonl.

STEPS:

1. SCAN (deterministic, 0 tokens). Recent by default: python content_miner.py mine --days 7. Backlog / the whole archive: mine --all --operator Anton --cap 150. Flags: --day YYYY-MM-DD, --operator all, --cap N. Note OVER_THRESHOLD and OUT.
2. Empty (SESSIONS=0 / OVER_THRESHOLD=0) → say "no fresh moments worth capturing" and stop.
3. READ the digest cand-latest.md (or OUT). Each ### = a session src | date | machine | operator [PRIV] {score · tags} + a headline + snippets ([U]=the operator, [A]=Claude). Look at the top ones (HOT→WARM); on large volumes, fan out Sonnet judges over slices (see miner\slices\), they return JSON verdicts, you dedup and capture.
4. JUDGE BY TASTE: keep the genuinely worthy and DIFFERENT stories (built/shipped it · a war with a bug / a root cause · a human+AI, multi-machine or consensus technique · a sharp insight · a "wow"). Drop routine, thin, forked duplicates (similar headline → one story), purely private material. Positioning: non-coder + AI is the trump card; the goal is an offer from an LLM company plus an audience of builders.
5. CAPTURE the worthy ones: python content_miner.py capture --src --title "" --note "" --tier teaser|medium|longread|dev-log --angle "" --visibility public|personal|private. Tier: teaser=a hook; medium=the public diary post; longread=a narrative; dev-log=dry and technical. [PRIV] / anything that can't be scrubbed → --visibility personal. The engine blocks secret-looking tokens and dedups by src.
6. BRIDGE INTO THE CANON (the law "an event → first a beat → then a post", [[show-canon-single-source]]): for the 1-2 strongest public moments create a draft BEAT in 04-Projects\show-canon\beats-inbox\ using the template beats\_TEMPLATE-beat.md (+authored_by: content-miner); never write into beats\ directly — the canon writer moves them. Older (pre-canon, before 2026-07-08) events get a backfill beat only when an episode is actually being assembled from them.
7. REPORT to the operator (ELI5): how many sessions were scanned → how many drafts went into the funnel (with tiers) → how many beat candidates landed in the canon inbox; what's next = /episode on a "+", the outbound queue = registry\pub_registry.py (queue → next → posted, limits in limits.json). Show python content_miner.py captured --limit N.

BOUNDARIES (keep it simple and repairable):

• Draft-first, HARD: drafts only; no auto-publish; nothing goes out.
• Secrets/private material/CRM/leads never become content (engine gate + [[credential-store]]).
• Don't build a parallel monolith — reuse contentminer + voicetriage + /episode.
• Grunt work (detection/classification) = Sonnet; the authored post text = Opus (and that happens in /episode, not here).
• This is the manual twin of the nightly content-miner-nightly; the archive backlog was closed in one pass on 2026-07-09 (miner\debt-log.md).
