| name | Digest |
| slug | digest |
| version | 1.0.3 |
| description | Curates news, feeds, and industry sources into personalized recurring digests: sourcing, filtering, ranking, and delivery. Use to set up a daily briefing or morning/evening news roundup, track competitors, an industry, people, or markets, or run a scheduled or weekly update. Also when a digest feels too long or repetitive, keeps missing stories, or a rumor needs checking before it ships. Covers source vetting, deduplication, single-source holds, corrections, urgent alerts, slow news days, and channel formats (email, Slack, Telegram, audio); learns format, timing, and depth preferences from reactions. Not for summarizing documents the user provides or internal business reporting. |

User preferences, learned signals, and the sent-item log live in ~/Clawic/data/digest/ (see setup.md on first use, preferences-template.md for file formats). If you have data at an old location (~/digest/ or ~/clawic/digest/), move it to ~/Clawic/data/digest/, and say in one line that you moved it and from where.
Configuration
User-dependent variables. Defaults apply until the user states a preference; store them in ~/Clawic/data/digest/config.yaml.
| Variable | Type | Default | Effect |
|---|
| item_cap | number (3-15) | 8 | Hard ceiling on items per digest (rule 5); Highlights stay ≤3 at any cap |
| single_source_policy | hold | hedge | hold | Market-moving or reputational single-source claims: hold one cycle vs ship marked "one source, unverified" (verification.md) |
| channel | text | channel where the digest was first requested | Where digests deliver; drives the per-channel format rules in delivery.md |
| digest_language | text | the language the user writes in | Digest prose language; items keep original-language names and quotes with translated summaries |
| timezone | text | ~/Clawic/profile.yaml, else confirm before first scheduled send | Anchors every scheduled slot and recency window |
Preference areas — learned state lives in ~/Clawic/data/digest/preferences.md and climbs the ladder in learning.md:
- content scope — topics, industries, competitors, people, regions, exclusions; drives Filter
- sourcing — trusted and blocked sources, weighting, recency windows; drives Source
- format & structure — medium, structure, length, tone, visuals; drives Format
- timing & cadence — schedule, frequency, weekday/weekend split, urgent-signal rules; drives Deliver
- prioritization & depth — what leads, what buries, per-topic depth; drives Prioritize
When To Use
- The user wants a recurring on topics they care about
