Nightly scan of session transcripts -- extract decisions, tasks, people, insights.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Nightly Mine

Scan recent session transcripts for unmined context.

## Process

1. Find session transcripts from the last 24 hours:
```bash
find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels" -name "*.yaml" -mtime -1 2>/dev/null
```

2. For each session entry:
   - Read the YAML for `transcript:` path
   - If transcript exists and hasn't been mined, read it
   - Extract: decisions, tasks, people context, insights, quotes

3. Group extractions by destination walnut

4. Write to `.alive/stash.json` with routing suggestions (don't route directly)

## Output

```
Mined [N] sessions, extracted [M] items:
  [N] decisions
  [N] tasks
  [N] people updates
  [N] insights
  [N] quotes

Items added to stash for routing via alive-stash-router.
```

If nothing found: `[SILENT]`

## Rules

- Extract, don't route. Items go to stash for human approval.
- Mark sessions as mined (touch a `.mined` flag file alongside the YAML)
- Skip sessions that are already mined
- Skip sessions shorter than 5 turns (likely trivial)
- Be conservative -- only extract clear decisions and explicit tasks, not inferences

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alivecontext/alive/alive-mine@sha256:322504f33c90f40e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
