Github Trending Spider

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.
