Quick Reference

Task	Load
Add/configure sources	`sources.md`
Set up filtering rules	`filtering.md`
Configure alert tiers	`alerts.md`
Query archived content	`querying.md`
Platform-specific setup	`platforms.md`

Core Loop

Add source: User names person/topic/feed → create tracking file
Monitor: Check sources on schedule (cron) or on-demand
Filter: Apply relevance rules, skip noise
Store: Archive what matters (summaries, not full dumps)
Alert: Notify based on tier (immediate/daily/weekly/passive)
Query: Answer "what did X say about Y?" from archive

Common Patterns

User says	Agent does
"Follow @naval on Twitter"	Create `sources/people/naval.md`, configure Twitter monitoring
"Track AI safety discussions"	Create topic tracker with keywords across multiple sources
"What has Competitor X posted this week?"	Query archive, synthesize summary
"Alert me immediately when Y happens"	Add to high-priority tier in `alerts.md`
"Give me a weekly digest of everything"	Configure weekly summary in alerts
"Stop following X"	Archive and mark inactive

Capture Principles

Summaries over full content — save space, stay legal
Links + timestamps always — retrievable later
Context for why it matters — not just "X posted"
Deduplicate across sources — same news from 5 places = 1 entry
