Bitcoin Dev Digest (📰)

Daily summary of bitcoindev mailing list + Bitcoin Core commits.

Made in 🤠 Texas ❤️ PlebLab

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.
