| description | Operate or review the AI Daily Frontier / github-trending-spider project: a Python + Vue app that aggregates GitHub Trending, Hacker News, TLDR AI, V2EX, Linux.do, OpenAI, Anthropic, and InfoQ AI sources into Chinese AI/frontier summaries, JSON snapshots, a FastAPI read API, optional scheduler, optional SMTP email, and a Vue frontend. Use when the user mentions github-trending-spider, AI Daily Frontier, 每日AI前沿, AI 资讯聚合, GitHub Trending 日报, AI 新闻爬虫, or multi-source AI news digest automation.

GitHub Trending Spider
This is a Hermes wrapper for the local external source checkout:
- Source root:
~/.hermes/external-repos/github-trending-spider
- Upstream:
https://github.com/wenbochang888/github-trending-spider
- Reviewed commit:
22d2605a2ba9d88bfcb59552af677d2e279ded5b
Use When
- The user asks about
github-trending-spider, AI Daily Frontier, 每日AI前沿, AI资讯聚合, or GitHub Trending 日报.
- The task is to inspect, configure, adapt, or safely run the multi-source AI news spider.
- The user wants a daily AI news digest, Chinese AI summary feed, FastAPI read API, Vue news frontend, Redis-backed snapshot cache, or optional email delivery.
Safety Boundary
Treat this as an application repo, not a pure markdown skill.
Default safe actions:
- Read source and docs.
- Explain architecture and configuration.
- Patch source after normal repo review.
- Run offline syntax checks such as Python compile checks.
Do not run these unless the user explicitly asks for runtime bring-up and confirms scope:
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install, npm run serve, or frontend build commands
python3 main.py
python3 -m uvicorn api:app ...
bash scripts/start_backend.sh, bash scripts/start_frontend.sh, or bash scripts/start_all.sh
- SMTP send tests or any action with
SEND_EMAIL_ENABLED=true
- Scheduled collection with
SPIDER_SCHEDULER_ENABLED=true
Runtime Risks
- Reads
GITHUB_TOKEN for GitHub Models summaries.
- Can read SMTP variables and send email through
SMTP_USER / SMTP_PASSWORD.
- Fetches external sites: GitHub Trending, Hacker News, TLDR AI, V2EX, Linux.do, OpenAI, Anthropic, and InfoQ.
- Writes logs and JSON snapshots. The default log path is
/root/logs/github-python/trending.log, so local runs should override LOG_FILE.
scripts/start_backend.sh installs Python dependencies, sources shell/env files, kills existing uvicorn api:app processes, creates /root/logs/github-python, and binds the backend to 0.0.0.0 by default.
- API startup can launch an in-process scheduler unless
SPIDER_SCHEDULER_ENABLED=false.
Safe Verification
For offline checks, prefer:
cd ~/.hermes/external-repos/github-trending-spider
python3 -m py_compile main.py config.py github_trending.py hacker_news.py tldr_ai.py official_ai_sources.py content_items.py content_store.py redis_client.py scheduler.py source_registry.py api.py access_log.py email_builder.py email_sender.py
If checking frontend syntax without installing packages, limit yourself to file inspection unless dependencies already exist.
Runtime Bring-Up Pattern
Only after explicit approval, use a constrained local run:
cd ~/.hermes/external-repos/github-trending-spider
export LOG_FILE=/tmp/github-trending-spider.log
export OUTPUT_JSON_PATH=/tmp/github-trending-spider-latest.json
export OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_DIR=/tmp/github-trending-spider-output
export SPIDER_SCHEDULER_ENABLED=false
export SPIDER_RUN_ON_STARTUP=false
export SEND_EMAIL_ENABLED=false
python3 -m uvicorn api:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000
For one-shot collection, confirm which external sources may be contacted and whether GITHUB_TOKEN should be used. Keep SEND_EMAIL_ENABLED=false unless email sending is the explicit task.
Response Rules
- State whether you are doing source review, offline verification, or approved runtime execution.
- Never print token, SMTP password, or email authorization code values.
- If a secret is relevant, report only set/unset and rough length.
- Prefer local
/tmp log/output paths for ad hoc runs.
- Preserve the repo's module boundaries: source fetching, content normalization, persistence, API, scheduler, email, and frontend are separate.
