Mine any Telegram channel or chat for signal in one command: incremental zero-token scrape, deterministic detector shortlist, LLM judge for what is genuinely valuable to this owner, then linked vault notes, a database row, a map-of-content entry and reindex. Triggers: "/mine-channel <@channel|id>", "alpha from <channel>".
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
# /mine-channel — pull in a channel and squeeze out the alpha in one command > 🧒 Finish the reply to a non-technical operator with a simple "In plain words" recap (memory `eli5-always`). This generalizes a pattern that was repeated by hand 5+ times across different channels. Cost ladder [[vault-data-architecture]]: a deterministic detector (0 tokens) → an LLM judge over the shortlist only → the vault. ## Steps **0. RECALL (do not duplicate).** Has this channel been mined already? Check `$IMPORTS_ROOT/alpha/<slug>\` and memory (`*-mine`, `*-community-import`). If yes, this is a TOP-UP: same slug, incremental. **1. Resolve the channel.** A username (`@some_channel` / `some_channel`) or a numeric id (`<YOUR_CHAT_ID>`). If you do not know the id — `mcp__telegram__search_dialogs` or `/chat <name>`. Pick a short Latin **slug** (e.g. `silmeshok`). **2. Scrape + detector (0 tokens, 0 GPU):** ``` set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 python $IMPORTS_ROOT/alpha/mine_channel.py --channel <name|id> --slug <slug> [--limit N] [--top 40] [--since YYYY-MM-DD --until YYYY-MM-DD] ``` → `_imports\alpha\<slug>\<slug>.jsonl` + `<slug>.db` + the shortlist `_imports\alpha\candidates\<slug>-report.md`. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/mine-channel@sha256:a40e2092999ccd23The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
