Follow Aleabito

Follow AleaBito

Purpose

Track @aleabitoreddit on X and produce deliverables grounded only in fetched posts. Always include source URLs. Treat the content as market commentary, not investment advice.

Language / 语言: deliverables default to 中文 (the digest and Xiaohongshu workflows are Chinese-first by design), but any of them can be produced in English when the user asks. The analytics CSVs and research map are language-neutral.

This skill handles four workflows. Pick the one(s) the user asked for and read the matching reference file only when needed:

When producing any AI 分析, read references/analysis-framework.md first. All Buffett-style fields default to unverified; escalation requires cited evidence.

Paths

Reports go under $FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR. If unset, default to $HOME/Documents/aleabito-reports. Treat all CSV / meta paths below as $FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR/<filename>.

Data Sources

Use scripts/fetch-updates.js. It tries:

1. X API v2 when X_BEARER_TOKEN exists in ~/.follow-aleabito/.env.
2. X public syndication fallback when no token is configured.
3. Logged-in Chrome/X page fallback on macOS when anonymous sources return nothing.

Caveats: the syndication fallback can miss the newest posts or truncate long ones. The Chrome fallback may open https://x.com/aleabitoreddit in the active Chrome tab — expand any Show more before extracting. If the JSON output contains warnings, mention them briefly in the digest or setup guidance.

Never invent posts, prices, positions, or links. If no fetched post has a URL, do not include it.

Daily Digest Workflow

cd "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/follow-aleabito"
node scripts/fetch-updates.js --include-replies --lookback-hours 36 --max-tweets 50 --output /tmp/follow-aleabito-updates.json
node scripts/build-digest-brief.js --input /tmp/follow-aleabito-updates.json --output /tmp/follow-aleabito-brief.md

Read /tmp/follow-aleabito-brief.md (ticker counts, theme groups, high-signal replies, source links) before writing. Use the raw JSON only when the brief is insufficient.

If tweets is empty:

• If config.notifyWhenEmpty is true, send 今天 @aleabitoreddit 没有抓到新的可发送动态。
• Otherwise stop without sending.

Digest structure (Chinese, iMessage-sized — signal over completeness):

• Title: Serenity / @aleabitoreddit 今日动态
• 今天她重点看什么
• 2-4 key takeaways grouped by theme.
• For each included post/theme: 她的观点 → 小白解释 → 第一性原理 → Buffett 直接判断. Read references/analysis-framework.md for the judgement shape and default-unverified rules.
• Mentioned tickers/themes, original URL, created time.
• Footer: 仅作信息跟踪，不构成投资建议。

Send via iMessage. Run mark-seen.js only after send-imessage.js returns status: ok.

Cumulative Mention Analytics

Trigger when the user asks for 60-day analytics, ticker mention counts, website-readable CSVs, or ongoing tracking. The workflow is cumulative, not rolling — the 60-day backfill is a seed; later runs only append new events.

Commands:

# initial backfill (only run once unless the events CSV is missing/corrupted)
node scripts/analyze-mentions.js --backfill-days 60 --include-replies --resume

# daily incremental
node scripts/analyze-mentions.js --incremental --include-replies --resume

# rebuild summary CSVs from existing events without hitting the API
node scripts/analyze-mentions.js --rebuild-only --include-replies --resume

Outputs land in $FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR:

• aleabito-mentions-events.csv — event-level rows.
• aleabito-stock-mentions-cumulative.csv — leaderboard for website home/search.
• aleabito-stock-mentions-daily.csv — daily ticker trend.
• aleabito-mentions.meta.json — last update, API status, rate-limit metadata.

For counting rules, API cost rules, and overlap-window guidance, read references/analytics.md.

If the X API fails, keep the previous CSVs and write the failure to .meta.json. Never overwrite good data on failure.

Xiaohongshu Workflow

Trigger when the user asks for a Xiaohongshu post derived from the mention analytics.

node scripts/build-xhs-brief.js \
  --input "$FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR/aleabito-stock-mentions-cumulative.csv" \
  --daily "$FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR/aleabito-stock-mentions-daily.csv" \
  --output /tmp/follow-aleabito-xhs-brief.md \
  --variants both

Read the generated brief, then write in Chinese. Default to producing both a full version and an under-1000-Chinese-character version unless the user asks for only one.

Read references/xhs-style.md for writing rules, required structure, and the default-unverified Buffett shape.

Research Map Workflow

Trigger when the user wants a durable research map after analytics.

node scripts/update-research-map.js \
  --events "$FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR/aleabito-mentions-events.csv" \
  --summary "$FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR/aleabito-stock-mentions-cumulative.csv" \
  --output ~/.follow-aleabito/research-map.json

Also writes ~/.follow-aleabito/research-map.md. Preserve existing manual notes and Buffett fields when refreshing. If evidence is missing, keep fields as unverified or research map — the deterministic script must not invent financial facts.

iMessage Delivery

Recipient lives in ~/.follow-aleabito/config.json:

{
  "delivery": {
    "method": "imessage",
    "recipient": "+15551234567"
  }
}

node scripts/send-imessage.js --file /tmp/follow-aleabito-digest.txt
node scripts/mark-seen.js --file /tmp/follow-aleabito-updates.json   # only after send succeeds

If iMessage delivery fails because the recipient is missing, point the user to:

node "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/follow-aleabito/scripts/setup-config.js" --recipient "<phone-or-apple-id>"

On first run, the user must also grant Messages automation permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation.

Setup

node "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/follow-aleabito/scripts/setup-config.js" --recipient "<phone-or-apple-id>"
cp ~/.follow-aleabito/.env.example ~/.follow-aleabito/.env   # then set X_BEARER_TOKEN
export FOLLOW_ALEABITO_REPORTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents/aleabito-reports"   # or wherever the website reads from

Automation

For a daily cron, run in order: fetch-updates.js → write Chinese digest to /tmp/follow-aleabito-digest.txt → send-imessage.js → mark-seen.js only after success. Default recommended time: 8:00 AM in the user's timezone.
