Eigenfeed Cold Start

Full pipeline for first-time setup or profile rebuild: taste → reflect → explore → score.

Step 0: Read Configuration

Read config.md in the project root. Extract:

• picks_per_run (default: 7)
• sources — list of sources
• coldstart_lookback_days (default: 28) — how far back to scan sources

Step 1: Taste Profile

Run the taste skill (follow .claude/skills/taste/SKILL.md) with lookback_days = coldstart_lookback_days.

If vault/profile.md already exists, ask the user:

"You already have a taste profile. Want me to rebuild it from scratch, or keep the current one and just re-run explore + score?"

If they want to keep it, skip to Step 2.

Step 2: Reflect

Follow .claude/skills/reflect/SKILL.md to generate niche search queries from topics.

Step 3: Explore

Follow .claude/skills/explore/SKILL.md using the queries from Step 2.

After exploration completes, show the user a brief summary and ask:

"Found N candidates. Want me to search for anything else, or proceed to scoring?"

Step 4: Score

Follow .claude/skills/score/SKILL.md to score candidates, publish, and generate the feed.

Wrap-up

Show the final summary:

• Top recommendations with titles, scores, and reasoning
• Path to local/feed.xml
• How to subscribe: run /serve or add the file directly to a feed reader

Tell the user:

• Run /eigenfeed anytime for fresh recommendations (no need to rebuild the profile)
• Run /eigenfeed.coldstart again if their sources change significantly
