# Contributing to this project
Thank you for considering contributing to this project! This document outlines the process for contributing and some guidelines to follow.
🆕 **New to GitHub or pull requests?** Check out our [beginner-friendly Pull Request Guide](docs/how-to-contribute-with-pull-requests.md) first!
📋 **Before contributing**, please read our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md) to understand the BMAD Method's core philosophy and architectural decisions.
Also note, we use the discussions feature in GitHub to have a community to discuss potential ideas, uses, additions and enhancements.
## Code of Conduct
By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Please read it before participating.
## How to Contribute
### Reporting Bugs
- Check if the bug has already been reported in the Issues section
- Include detailed steps to reproduce the bug
- Include any relevant logs or screenshots
### Suggesting Features
- Check if the feature has already been suggested in the Issues section, and consider using the discussions tab in GitHub also. Explain the feature in detail and why it would be valuable.
### Pull Request Process
Please only propose small granular commits! If its large or significant, please discuss in the discussions tab and open up an issue first. I do not want you to waste your time on a potentially very large PR to have it rejected because it is not aligned or deviates from other planned changes. Communicate and lets work together to build and improve this great community project!
**Important**: All contributions must align with our [Guiding Principles](GUIDING-PRINCIPLES.md). Key points:
- Keep dev agents lean - they need context for coding, not documentation
- Web/planning agents can be larger with more complex tasks
- Everything is natural language (markdown) - no code in core framework
- Use expansion packs for domain-specific features
#### Which Branch for Your PR?
**Submit to `next` branch** (most contributions):
- ✨ New features or agents
- 🎨 Enhancements to existing features
- 📚 Documentation updates
- ♻️ Code refactoring
- ⚡ Performance improvements
- 🧪 New tests
- 🎁 New expansion packs
**Submit to `main` branch** (critical only):
- 🚨 Critical bug fixes that break basic functionality
- 🔒 Security patches
- 📚 Fixing dangerously incorrect documentation
- 🐛 Bugs preventing installation or basic usage
**When in doubt, submit to `next`**. We'd rather test changes thoroughly before they hit stable.
#### PR Size Guidelines
- **Ideal PR size**: 200-400 lines of code changes
- **Maximum PR size**: 800 lines (excluding generated files)
- **One feature/fix per PR**: Each PR should address a single issue or add one feature
- **If your change is larger**: Break it into multiple smaller PRs that can be reviewed independently
- **Related changes**: Even related changes should be separate PRs if they deliver independent value
#### Breaking Down Large PRs
If your change exceeds 800 lines, use this checklist to split it:
- [ ] Can I separate the refactoring from the feature implementation?
- [ ] Can I introduce the new API/interface in one PR and implementation in another?
- [ ] Can I split by file or module?
- [ ] Can I create a base PR with shared utilities first?
- [ ] Can I separate test additions from implementation?
- [ ] Even if changes are related, can they deliver value independently?
- [ ] Can these changes be merged in any order without breaking things?
Example breakdown:
1. PR #1: Add utility functions and types (100 lines)
2. PR #2: Refactor existing code to use utilities (200 lines)
3. PR #3: Implement new feature using refactored code (300 lines)
4. PR #4: Add comprehensive tests (200 lines)
**Note**: PRs #1 and #4 could be submitted simultaneously since they deliver independent value and don't depend on each other's merge order.
#### Pull Request Steps
1. Fork the repository
2. Create a new branch (`git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name`)
3. Make your changes
4. Run any tests or linting to ensure quality
5. Commit your changes with clear, descriptive messages following our commit message convention
6. Push to your branch (`git push origin feature/your-feature-name`)
7. Open a Pull Request against the main branch
## Pull Request Description Guidelines
Keep PR descriptions short and to the point following this template:
### PR Description Template
Keep your PR description concise and focused. Use this template:
```markdown
## What
[1-2 sentences describing WHAT changed]
## Why
[1-2 sentences explaining WHY this change is needed]
## How
[2-3 bullets listing HOW you implemented it]
-
-
-
## Testing
[1-2 sentences on how you tested this]
```
**Maximum PR description length: 200 words** (excluding code examples if needed)
### Good vs Bad PR Descriptions
**Bad Example:**
> This revolutionary PR introduces a paradigm-shifting enhancement to the system's architecture by implementing a state-of-the-art solution that leverages cutting-edge methodologies to optimize performance metrics and deliver unprecedented value to stakeholders through innovative approaches...
**Good Example:**
> **What:** Added validation for agent dependency resolution
> **Why:** Build was failing silently when agents had circular dependencies
> **How:**
>
> - Added cycle detection in dependency-resolver.js
> - Throws clear error with dependency chain
> **Testing:** Tested with circular deps between 3 agents
## Commit Message Convention
Use conventional commits format:
- `feat:` New feature
- `fix:` Bug fix
- `docs:` Documentation only
- `refactor:` Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
- `test:` Adding missing tests
- `chore:` Changes to build process or auxiliary tools
Keep commit messages under 72 characters.
### Atomic Commits
Each commit should represent one logical change:
- **Do:** One bug fix per commit
- **Do:** One feature addition per commit
- **Don't:** Mix refactoring with bug fixes
- **Don't:** Combine unrelated changes
## Code Style
- Follow the existing code style and conventions
- Write clear comments for complex logic
## License
By contributing to this project, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the same license as the project.

# BMAD Method Guiding Principles
The BMAD Method is a natural language framework for AI-assisted software development. These principles ensure contributions maintain the method's effectiveness.
## Core Principles
### 1. Dev Agents Must Be Lean
- **Minimize dev agent dependencies**: Development agents that work in IDEs must have minimal context overhead
- **Save context for code**: Every line counts - dev agents should focus on coding, not documentation
- **Web agents can be larger**: Planning agents (PRD Writer, Architect) used in web UI can have more complex tasks and dependencies
- **Small files, loaded on demand**: Multiple small, focused files are better than large files with many branches
### 2. Natural Language First
- **Everything is markdown**: Agents, tasks, templates - all written in plain English
- **No code in core**: The framework itself contains no programming code, only natural language instructions
- **Self-contained templates**: Templates include their own generation instructions using `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
### 3. Agent and Task Design
- **Agents define roles**: Each agent is a persona with specific expertise (e.g., Frontend Developer, API Developer)
- **Tasks are procedures**: Step-by-step instructions an agent follows to complete work
- **Templates are outputs**: Structured documents with embedded instructions for generation
- **Dependencies matter**: Explicitly declare only what's needed
## Practical Guidelines
### When to Add to Core
- Universal software development needs only
- Doesn't bloat dev agent contexts
- Follows existing agent/task/template patterns
### When to Create Expansion Packs
- Domain-specific needs beyond software development
- Non-technical domains (business, wellness, education, creative)
- Specialized technical domains (games, infrastructure, mobile)
- Heavy documentation or knowledge bases
- Anything that would bloat core agents
See [Expansion Packs Guide](../docs/expansion-packs.md) for detailed examples and ideas.
### Agent Design Rules
1. **Web/Planning Agents**: Can have richer context, multiple tasks, extensive templates
2. **Dev Agents**: Minimal dependencies, focused on code generation, lean task sets
3. **All Agents**: Clear persona, specific expertise, well-defined capabilities
### Task Writing Rules
1. Write clear step-by-step procedures
2. Use markdown formatting for readability
3. Keep dev agent tasks focused and concise
4. Planning tasks can be more elaborate
5. **Prefer multiple small tasks over one large branching task**
- Instead of one task with many conditional paths
- Create multiple focused tasks the agent can choose from
- This keeps context overhead minimal
6. **Reuse common tasks** - Don't create new document creation tasks
- Use the existing `create-doc` task
- Pass the appropriate template with embedded LLM instructions
- This maintains consistency and reduces duplication
### Template Rules
1. Include generation instructions with `[[LLM: ...]]` markup
2. Provide clear structure for output
3. Make templates reusable across agents
4. Use standardized markup elements:
- `{{placeholders}}` for variables to be replaced
- `[[LLM: instructions]]` for AI-only processing (never shown to users)
- `REPEAT` sections for repeatable content blocks
- `^^CONDITION^^` blocks for conditional content
- `@{examples}` for guidance examples (never output to users)
5. NEVER display template markup or LLM instructions to users
6. Focus on clean output - all processing instructions stay internal
## Remember
- The power is in natural language orchestration, not code
- Dev agents code, planning agents plan
- Keep dev agents lean for maximum coding efficiency
- Expansion packs handle specialized domains

# BMAD-METHOD
# BMad Method V2
[![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/bmad-method?color=blue&label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bmad-method)
[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](LICENSE)
[![Node.js Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/node-%3E%3D20.0.0-brightgreen)](https://nodejs.org)
[![Discord](https://img.shields.io/badge/Discord-Join%20Community-7289da?logo=discord&logoColor=white)](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj)
V2 was the major fix to the shortcomings of V1.
**AI-Powered Agile Development Framework** - Transform your software development with specialized AI agents that work as your complete Agile team.
Templates were introduced, and separated from the agents themselves. Also aside from templates, checklists were introduced to give more power in actually vetting the the documents or artifacts being produced were valid and of high quality through a forced round of advanced elicitation.
📺 **[Subscribe to BMadCode on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BMadCode?sub_confirmation=1)**
During V2, this is where the discovery of the power of Gemini Gems and Custom GPTs came to light, really indicating how powerful and cost effective it can be to utilize the Web for a lot of the initial planning, but doing it in a structured repeatable way!
💬 **[Join our Discord Community](https://discord.gg/gk8jAdXWmj)** - A growing community for AI enthusiasts! Get help, share ideas, explore AI agents & frameworks, collaborate on tech projects, enjoy hobbies, and help each other succeed. Whether you're stuck on BMAD, building your own agents, or just want to chat about the latest in AI - we're here for you!
The Web Agents were all granular and clearly defined - a much simpler system, but also somewhat of a pain to create each agent separately in the web while also having to manually export and reimport each document when going agent to agent.
**If you find this project helpful or useful, please give it a star!** It helps others discover BMAD-METHOD and you will be notified of updates!
Also one confusing aspect was that there were duplicates of temples and checklists for the web versions and the ide versions.
## 🔄 Important: Keeping Your BMAD Installation Updated
**Stay up-to-date effortlessly!** If you already have BMAD-METHOD installed in your project, simply run:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
```
The installer will:
- ✅ Automatically detect your existing v4 installation
- ✅ Update only the files that have changed
- ✅ Create `.bak` backup files for any custom modifications you've made
- ✅ Preserve your project-specific configurations
This makes it easy to benefit from the latest improvements, bug fixes, and new agents without losing your customizations!
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Fastest Start: Web UI (2 minutes) 🏃‍♂️
1. **Get the bundle**: Copy `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (from this repository)
2. **Create AI agent**: Create a new Gemini Gem or CustomGPT
3. **Upload & configure**: Upload the file and set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. **Start Ideating and Planning**: Start chatting! Type `*help` to see available commands or pick an agent like `*analyst` to start right in on creating a brief.
> 💡 **All pre-built bundles are in the `dist/` folder** - ready to copy and use immediately!
### IDE Quick Start (5 minutes) 💻
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v20 or higher)
Run `npx bmad-method install`
This installs all agents and configures them for your IDE. If you have an existing v3 installation, it will offer to upgrade it automatically.

## Overview
BMAD-METHOD (Breakthrough Method of Agile AI-Driven Development) revolutionizes software development by providing specialized AI agents for every role in an Agile team. Each agent has deep expertise in their domain and can collaborate to deliver complete software projects.
### Why BMAD?
- **🎯 Specialized Expertise**: Each agent is an expert in their specific role
- **🔄 True Agile Workflow**: Follows real Agile methodologies and best practices
- **📦 Modular Design**: Use one agent or an entire team
- **🛠️ IDE Integration**: Works seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Gemini
- **🌐 Platform Agnostic**: Use with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI platform
## Installation
### Method 1: Pre-Built Web Bundles (Fastest) 📦
For ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini web interfaces:
1. Choose a bundle:
- **Recommended**: `dist/teams/team-fullstack.txt` (complete development team)
- Or pick from individual agents in `dist/agents/`
2. Upload to your AI platform (Gemini Gem, CustomGPT, or directly in chat)
3. Set instructions: "Your critical operating instructions are attached, do not break character as directed"
4. Type `/help` to see available commands
### Method 2: CLI Installer (For IDEs) 🎯
**Prerequisites**: Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v20+ first
Install directly into your project: `npx bmad-method install`
**Supported IDEs:**
The BMad Method works with any IDE, but has built-in integration for:
- `cursor` - Cursor IDE with manual rule @agent commands
- `claude-code` - Claude Code with /agent commands
- `cline` - Cline Rules integration
- `gemini-cli` - Gemini with @agent commands
- `windsurf` - Windsurf with manual rule @agent commands
- `roo` - Roo Code with custom modes (see `.roomodes`)
- `windsurf` - Windsurf with @agent commands
## Available Agents
### Core Development Team
| Agent | Role | Specialty |
| ----------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `analyst` | Business Analyst | market analysis, brainstorming, project brief |
| `pm` | Product Manager | Product strategy, roadmaps, PRDs |
| `architect` | Solution Architect | System design, technical architecture |
| `dev` | Developer | Code implementation across all technologies |
| `qa` | QA Specialist | Testing strategies, quality assurance, Refactor Post Story Creation before next story |
| `ux-expert` | UX Designer | User experience, UI design, prototypes |
| `po` | Product Owner | Backlog management, story validation |
| `sm` | Scrum Master | Sprint planning, story creation |
### Meta Agents
| Agent | Role | Specialty |
| ------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `bmad-orchestrator` | Team Coordinator | Multi-agent workflows, role switching, is part of every team bundle |
| `bmad-master` | Universal Expert | All capabilities without switching |
## Usage
### With IDE Integration
After installation with `--ide` flag:
```bash
# In Cursor
@pm Create a PRD for a task management app
# In Claude Code
/architect Design a microservices architecture
# In Windsurf
@dev Implement story 1.3
```
### With Web UI (ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini)
After uploading a bundle you can ask /help of the agent to learn what it can do
### CLI Commands
```bash
# List all available agents
npx bmad-method list
# Install or update (automatically detects existing installations)
npx bmad-method install
# Check installation status
npx bmad-method status
```
### Upgrading from V3 to V4
If you have an existing BMAD-METHOD V3 project, simply run the installer in your project directory:
```bash
npx bmad-method install
# The installer will automatically detect your V3 installation and offer to upgrade
```
The upgrade process will:
1. Create a backup of your V3 files in `.bmad-v3-backup/`
2. Install the new V4 `.bmad-core/` structure
3. Migrate your documents (PRD, Architecture, Stories, Epics)
4. Set up IDE integration for all V4 agents
5. Create an install manifest for future updates
After upgrading:
1. Review your documents in the `docs/` folder - if you had a PRD or architecture in your old project, copy it from the backup to the docs folder if they are not there.
2. Optionally run the `doc-migration-task` to align your documents with V4 templates - you can do this with your agent my saying something like: 'run {drag in task} against {drag prd or arch file from docs} to align with {drag the template from .bmad-core/templates/full-stack-architecture.md}
3. If you have separate front-end and backend architecture docs you can modify step 2 to merge both into a single full stack architecture or separate Front and Back end.
The reason #2 and 3 are optional is because now BMad V4 makes sharding optional for the SM. See [Core Configuration](#-core-configuration-new-in-v4)
**Note**: The agents in `.bmad-core/` fully replace the items in `bmad-agent/` - you can remove the backup folder versions.
### 🔧 Core Configuration (NEW in V4)
**Critical**: V4 introduces `bmad-core/core-config.yml` - a powerful configuration file that enables BMAD to work seamlessly with any project structure, whether it's V4-optimized or legacy. You can even now use non-standard PRDs and architectures!
#### What is core-config.yml?
This configuration file tells BMAD agents exactly where to find your project documents and how they're structured. It's the key to V4's flexibility and backwards compatibility.
#### Key Features
- **Version Awareness**: Agents understand if your PRD/Architecture follows V4 conventions or earlier versions
- **Flexible Document Locations**: Works whether your epics are embedded in PRD or properly sharded
- **Developer Context**: Define which files the dev agent should always load
- **Debug Support**: Built-in logging for troubleshooting story implementation
#### Why It Matters
- **Use BMAD with ANY project structure** - V3, V4, or custom layouts
- **No forced migrations** - Keep your existing document organization
- **Customize developer workflow** - Specify exactly which files provide context
- **Seamless upgrades** - Start with V3 docs and gradually adopt V4 patterns
See the [detailed core-config.yml guide](docs/user-guide.md#core-configuration-coreconfigyml) for configuration examples and best practices.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest API Reference
This document describes the external APIs consumed by the BMad Hacker Daily Digest application.
## External APIs Consumed
### Algolia Hacker News (HN) Search API
- **Purpose:** Used to fetch the top Hacker News stories and the comments associated with each story.
- **Base URL:** `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1`
- **Authentication:** None required for public search endpoints.
- **Key Endpoints Used:**
- **`GET /search` (for Top Stories)**
- Description: Retrieves stories based on search parameters. Used here to get top stories from the front page.
- Request Parameters:
- `tags=front_page`: Required to filter for front-page stories.
- `hitsPerPage=10`: Specifies the number of stories to retrieve (adjust as needed, default is typically 20).
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const url =
"[http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10](http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10)";
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See "Algolia HN API - Story Response Subset" in `docs/data-models.md`. Primarily interested in the `hits` array containing story objects.
- Error Response Schema(s): Standard HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx, 5xx). May return JSON with an error message.
- **`GET /search` (for Comments)**
- Description: Retrieves comments associated with a specific story ID.
- Request Parameters:
- `tags=comment,story_{storyId}`: Required to filter for comments belonging to the specified `storyId`. Replace `{storyId}` with the actual ID (e.g., `story_12345`).
- `hitsPerPage={maxComments}`: Specifies the maximum number of comments to retrieve (value from `.env` `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`).
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const storyId = "..."; // HN Story ID
const maxComments = 50; // From config
const url = `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_${storyId}&hitsPerPage=${maxComments}`;
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See "Algolia HN API - Comment Response Subset" in `docs/data-models.md`. Primarily interested in the `hits` array containing comment objects.
- Error Response Schema(s): Standard HTTP errors.
- **Rate Limits:** Subject to Algolia's public API rate limits (typically generous for HN search but not explicitly defined/guaranteed). Implementations should handle potential 429 errors gracefully if encountered.
- **Link to Official Docs:** [https://hn.algolia.com/api](https://hn.algolia.com/api)
### Ollama API (Local Instance)
- **Purpose:** Used to generate text summaries for scraped article content and HN comment discussions using a locally running LLM.
- **Base URL:** Configurable via the `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` environment variable (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`).
- **Authentication:** None typically required for default local installations.
- **Key Endpoints Used:**
- **`POST /api/generate`**
- Description: Generates text based on a model and prompt. Used here for summarization.
- Request Body Schema: See `OllamaGenerateRequest` in `docs/data-models.md`. Requires `model` (from `.env` `OLLAMA_MODEL`), `prompt`, and `stream: false`.
- Example Request (Conceptual using native `Workspace`):
```typescript
// Using Node.js native Workspace API
const ollamaUrl =
process.env.OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL || "http://localhost:11434";
const requestBody: OllamaGenerateRequest = {
model: process.env.OLLAMA_MODEL || "llama3",
prompt: "Summarize this text: ...",
stream: false,
};
const response = await fetch(`${ollamaUrl}/api/generate`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify(requestBody),
});
const data: OllamaGenerateResponse | { error: string } =
await response.json();
```
- Success Response Schema (Code: `200 OK`): See `OllamaGenerateResponse` in `docs/data-models.md`. Key field is `response` containing the generated text.
- Error Response Schema(s): May return non-200 status codes or a `200 OK` with a JSON body like `{ "error": "error message..." }` (e.g., if the model is unavailable).
- **Rate Limits:** N/A for a typical local instance. Performance depends on local hardware.
- **Link to Official Docs:** [https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md)
## Internal APIs Provided
- **N/A:** The application is a self-contained CLI tool and does not expose any APIs for other services to consume.
## Cloud Service SDK Usage
- **N/A:** The application runs locally and uses the native Node.js `Workspace` API for HTTP requests, not cloud provider SDKs.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
The BMad Hacker Daily Digest is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to provide users with concise summaries of top Hacker News (HN) stories and their associated comment discussions . Built with TypeScript and Node.js (v22) , it operates entirely on the user's local machine . The core functionality involves a sequential pipeline: fetching story and comment data from the Algolia HN Search API , attempting to scrape linked article content , generating summaries using a local Ollama LLM instance , persisting intermediate data to the local filesystem , and finally assembling and emailing an HTML digest using Nodemailer . The architecture emphasizes modularity and testability, including mandatory standalone scripts for testing each pipeline stage . The project starts from the `bmad-boilerplate` template .
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a simple, sequential pipeline architecture executed via a manual CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`) . There is no persistent database; the local filesystem is used to store intermediate data artifacts (fetched data, scraped text, summaries) between steps within a date-stamped directory . All external HTTP communication (Algolia API, article scraping, Ollama API) utilizes the native Node.js `Workspace` API .

## Component View
The application code (`src/`) is organized into logical modules based on the defined project structure (`docs/project-structure.md`). Key components include:
- **`src/index.ts`**: The main entry point, handling CLI invocation and initiating the pipeline.
- **`src/core/pipeline.ts`**: Orchestrates the sequential execution of the main pipeline stages (fetch, scrape, summarize, email).
- **`src/clients/`**: Modules responsible for interacting with external APIs.
- `algoliaHNClient.ts`: Communicates with the Algolia HN Search API.
- `ollamaClient.ts`: Communicates with the local Ollama API.
- **`src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`**: Handles fetching and extracting text content from article URLs.
- **`src/email/`**: Manages digest assembly, HTML rendering, and email dispatch via Nodemailer.
- `contentAssembler.ts`: Reads persisted data.
- `templates.ts`: Renders HTML.
- `emailSender.ts`: Sends the email.
- **`src/stages/`**: Contains standalone scripts (`Workspace_hn_data.ts`, `scrape_articles.ts`, etc.) for testing individual pipeline stages independently using local data where applicable.
- **`src/utils/`**: Shared utilities for configuration loading (`config.ts`), logging (`logger.ts`), and date handling (`dateUtils.ts`).
- **`src/types/`**: Shared TypeScript interfaces and types.

## Key Architectural Decisions & Patterns
- **Architecture Style:** Simple Sequential Pipeline executed via CLI.
- **Execution Environment:** Local machine only; no cloud deployment, no database for MVP.
- **Data Handling:** Intermediate data persisted to local filesystem in a date-stamped directory.
- **HTTP Client:** Mandatory use of native Node.js v22 `Workspace` API for all external HTTP requests.
- **Modularity:** Code organized into distinct modules for clients, scraping, email, core logic, utilities, and types to promote separation of concerns and testability.
- **Stage Testing:** Mandatory standalone scripts (`src/stages/*`) allow independent testing of each pipeline phase.
- **Configuration:** Environment variables loaded natively from `.env` file; no `dotenv` package required.
- **Error Handling:** Graceful handling of scraping failures (log and continue); basic logging for other API/network errors.
- **Logging:** Basic console logging via a simple wrapper (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for MVP; structured file logging is a post-MVP consideration.
- **Key Libraries:** `@extractus/article-extractor`, `date-fns`, `nodemailer`, `yargs`. (See `docs/tech-stack.md`)

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
The BMad Hacker Daily Digest is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to provide users with concise summaries of top Hacker News (HN) stories and their associated comment discussions . Built with TypeScript and Node.js (v22) , it operates entirely on the user's local machine . The core functionality involves a sequential pipeline: fetching story and comment data from the Algolia HN Search API , attempting to scrape linked article content , generating summaries using a local Ollama LLM instance , persisting intermediate data to the local filesystem , and finally assembling and emailing an HTML digest using Nodemailer . The architecture emphasizes modularity and testability, including mandatory standalone scripts for testing each pipeline stage . The project starts from the `bmad-boilerplate` template .
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a simple, sequential pipeline architecture executed via a manual CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`) . There is no persistent database; the local filesystem is used to store intermediate data artifacts (fetched data, scraped text, summaries) between steps within a date-stamped directory . All external HTTP communication (Algolia API, article scraping, Ollama API) utilizes the native Node.js `Workspace` API .

## Component View
The application code (`src/`) is organized into logical modules based on the defined project structure (`docs/project-structure.md`). Key components include:
- **`src/index.ts`**: The main entry point, handling CLI invocation and initiating the pipeline.
- **`src/core/pipeline.ts`**: Orchestrates the sequential execution of the main pipeline stages (fetch, scrape, summarize, email).
- **`src/clients/`**: Modules responsible for interacting with external APIs.
- `algoliaHNClient.ts`: Communicates with the Algolia HN Search API.
- `ollamaClient.ts`: Communicates with the local Ollama API.
- **`src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`**: Handles fetching and extracting text content from article URLs.
- **`src/email/`**: Manages digest assembly, HTML rendering, and email dispatch via Nodemailer.
- `contentAssembler.ts`: Reads persisted data.
- `templates.ts`: Renders HTML.
- `emailSender.ts`: Sends the email.
- **`src/stages/`**: Contains standalone scripts (`Workspace_hn_data.ts`, `scrape_articles.ts`, etc.) for testing individual pipeline stages independently using local data where applicable.
- **`src/utils/`**: Shared utilities for configuration loading (`config.ts`), logging (`logger.ts`), and date handling (`dateUtils.ts`).
- **`src/types/`**: Shared TypeScript interfaces and types.

## Key Architectural Decisions & Patterns
- **Architecture Style:** Simple Sequential Pipeline executed via CLI.
- **Execution Environment:** Local machine only; no cloud deployment, no database for MVP.
- **Data Handling:** Intermediate data persisted to local filesystem in a date-stamped directory.
- **HTTP Client:** Mandatory use of native Node.js v22 `Workspace` API for all external HTTP requests.
- **Modularity:** Code organized into distinct modules for clients, scraping, email, core logic, utilities, and types to promote separation of concerns and testability.
- **Stage Testing:** Mandatory standalone scripts (`src/stages/*`) allow independent testing of each pipeline phase.
- **Configuration:** Environment variables loaded natively from `.env` file; no `dotenv` package required.
- **Error Handling:** Graceful handling of scraping failures (log and continue); basic logging for other API/network errors.
- **Logging:** Basic console logging via a simple wrapper (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for MVP; structured file logging is a post-MVP consideration.
- **Key Libraries:** `@extractus/article-extractor`, `date-fns`, `nodemailer`, `yargs`. (See `docs/tech-stack.md`)

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Architecture Document
## Technical Summary
This document outlines the technical architecture for the BMad Hacker Daily Digest, a command-line tool built with TypeScript and Node.js v22. It adheres to the structure provided by the "bmad-boilerplate". The system fetches the top 10 Hacker News stories and their comments daily via the Algolia HN API, attempts to scrape linked articles, generates summaries for both articles (if scraped) and discussions using a local Ollama instance, persists intermediate data locally, and sends an HTML digest email via Nodemailer upon manual CLI execution. The architecture emphasizes modularity through distinct clients and processing stages, facilitating independent stage testing as required by the PRD. Execution is strictly local for the MVP.
## High-Level Overview
The application follows a sequential pipeline architecture triggered by a single CLI command (`npm run dev` or `npm start`). Data flows through distinct stages: HN Data Acquisition, Article Scraping, LLM Summarization, and Digest Assembly/Email Dispatch. Each stage persists its output to a date-stamped local directory, allowing subsequent stages to operate on this data and enabling stage-specific testing utilities.
**(Diagram Suggestion for Canvas: Create a flowchart showing the stages below)**
```mermaid
graph TD
A[CLI Trigger (npm run dev/start)] --> B(Initialize: Load Config, Setup Logger, Create Output Dir);
B --> C{Fetch HN Data (Top 10 Stories + Comments)};
C -- Story/Comment Data --> D(Persist HN Data: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_data.json);
D --> E{Attempt Article Scraping (per story)};
E -- Scraped Text (if successful) --> F(Persist Article Text: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_article.txt);
F --> G{Generate Summaries (Article + Discussion via Ollama)};
G -- Summaries --> H(Persist Summaries: ./output/YYYY-MM-DD/{storyId}_summary.json);
H --> I{Assemble Digest (Read persisted data)};
I -- HTML Content --> J{Send Email via Nodemailer};
J --> K(Log Final Status & Exit);

E --> |Skip/Fail| G; // If no URL or scrape fails
G --> |Summarization Fail| H; // Persist null summaries
I --> |Assembly Fail| K; // Skip email if assembly fails
```
## Component View
The application logic resides primarily within the `src/` directory, organized into modules responsible for specific pipeline stages or cross-cutting concerns.

_Module Descriptions:_
- **`src/index.ts`**: The main entry point, orchestrating the entire pipeline flow from initialization to final email dispatch. Imports and calls functions from other modules.
- **`src/config.ts`**: Responsible for loading and validating environment variables from the `.env` file using the `dotenv` library.
- **`src/logger.ts`**: Provides a simple console logging utility used throughout the application.
- **`src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`**: Encapsulates interaction with the Algolia Hacker News Search API using the native `Workspace` API for fetching stories and comments.
- **`src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`**: Encapsulates interaction with the local Ollama API endpoint using the native `Workspace` API for generating summaries.
- **`src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`**: Handles fetching article HTML using native `Workspace` and extracting text content using `@extractus/article-extractor`. Includes robust error handling for fetch and extraction failures.
- **`src/email/contentAssembler.ts`**: Reads persisted story data and summaries from the local output directory.
- **`src/email/templater.ts` (or integrated)**: Renders the HTML email content using the assembled data.
- **`src/email/emailSender.ts`**: Configures and uses Nodemailer to send the generated HTML email.
- **`src/stages/*.ts`**: Individual scripts designed to run specific pipeline stages independently for testing, using persisted data from previous stages as input where applicable.
## Key Architectural Decisions & Patterns
- **Pipeline Architecture:** A sequential flow where each stage processes data and passes artifacts to the next via the local filesystem. Chosen for simplicity and to easily support independent stage testing.
- **Local Execution & File Persistence:** All execution is local, and intermediate artifacts (`_data.json`, `_article.txt`, `_summary.json`) are stored in a date-stamped `./output` directory. This avoids database setup for MVP and facilitates debugging/stage testing.
- **Native `Workspace` API:** Mandated by constraints for all HTTP requests (Algolia, Ollama, Article Scraping). Ensures usage of the latest Node.js features.
- **Modular Clients:** External interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated in dedicated client modules (`src/clients/`). This promotes separation of concerns and makes swapping implementations (e.g., different LLM API) easier.
- **Configuration via `.env`:** Standard approach using `dotenv` for managing API keys, endpoints, and behavioral parameters (as per boilerplate).
- **Stage Testing Utilities:** Dedicated scripts (`src/stages/*.ts`) allow isolated testing of fetching, scraping, summarization, and emailing, fulfilling a key PRD requirement.
- **Graceful Error Handling (Scraping):** Article scraping failures are logged but do not halt the main pipeline, allowing the process to continue with discussion summaries only, as required. Other errors (API, LLM) are logged.

# BMad Hacker Daily Digest Coding Standards and Patterns
This document outlines the coding standards, design patterns, and best practices to be followed during the development of the BMad Hacker Daily Digest project. Adherence to these standards is crucial for maintainability, readability, and collaboration.
## Architectural / Design Patterns Adopted
- **Sequential Pipeline:** The core application follows a linear sequence of steps (fetch, scrape, summarize, email) orchestrated within `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
- **Modular Design:** The application is broken down into distinct modules based on responsibility (e.g., `clients/`, `scraper/`, `email/`, `utils/`) to promote separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability. See `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Client Abstraction:** External service interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated within dedicated client modules in `src/clients/`.
- **Filesystem Persistence:** Intermediate data is persisted to the local filesystem instead of a database, acting as a handoff between pipeline stages.
## Coding Standards
- **Primary Language:** TypeScript (v5.x, as configured in boilerplate)
- **Primary Runtime:** Node.js (v22.x, as required by PRD )
- **Style Guide & Linter:** ESLint and Prettier. Configuration is provided by the `bmad-boilerplate`.
- **Mandatory:** Run `npm run lint` and `npm run format` regularly and before committing code. Code must be free of lint errors.
- **Naming Conventions:**
- Variables & Functions: `camelCase`
- Classes, Types, Interfaces: `PascalCase`
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
- Files: `kebab-case.ts` (e.g., `article-scraper.ts`) or `camelCase.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.ts`). Be consistent within module types (e.g., all clients follow one pattern, all utils another). Let's default to `camelCase.ts` for consistency with class/module names where applicable (e.g. `ollamaClient.ts`) and `kebab-case.ts` for more descriptive utils or stage runners (e.g. `Workspace-hn-data.ts`).
- Test Files: `*.test.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.test.ts`)
- **File Structure:** Adhere strictly to the layout defined in `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Asynchronous Operations:** **Mandatory:** Use `async`/`await` for all asynchronous operations (e.g., native `Workspace` HTTP calls , `fs/promises` file operations, Ollama client calls, Nodemailer `sendMail`). Avoid using raw Promises `.then()`/`.catch()` syntax where `async/await` provides better readability.
- **Type Safety:** Leverage TypeScript's static typing. Use interfaces and types defined in `src/types/` where appropriate. Assume `strict` mode is enabled in `tsconfig.json` (from boilerplate). Avoid using `any` unless absolutely necessary and justified.
- **Comments & Documentation:**
- Use JSDoc comments for exported functions, classes, and complex logic.
- Keep comments concise and focused on the _why_, not the _what_, unless the code is particularly complex.
- Update READMEs as needed for setup or usage changes.
- **Dependency Management:**
- Use `npm` for package management.
- Keep production dependencies minimal, as required by the PRD . Justify any additions.
- Use `devDependencies` for testing, linting, and build tools.
## Error Handling Strategy
- **General Approach:** Use standard JavaScript `try...catch` blocks for operations that can fail (I/O, network requests, parsing, etc.). Throw specific `Error` objects with descriptive messages. Avoid catching errors without logging or re-throwing unless intentionally handling a specific case.
- **Logging:**
- **Mandatory:** Use the central logger utility (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for all console output (INFO, WARN, ERROR). Do not use `console.log` directly in application logic.
- **Format:** Basic text format for MVP. Structured JSON logging to files is a post-MVP enhancement.
- **Levels:** Use appropriate levels (`logger.info`, `logger.warn`, `logger.error`).
- **Context:** Include relevant context in log messages (e.g., Story ID, function name, URL being processed) to aid debugging.
- **Specific Handling Patterns:**
- **External API Calls (Algolia, Ollama via `Workspace`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` calls in `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok` status; if false, log the status code and potentially response body text, then treat as an error (e.g., return `null` or throw).
- Log network errors caught by the `catch` block.
- No automated retries required for MVP.
- **Article Scraping (`articleScraper.ts`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` and text extraction (`article-extractor`) logic in `try...catch`.
- Handle non-2xx responses, timeouts, non-HTML content types, and extraction errors.
- **Crucial:** If scraping fails for any reason, log the error/reason using `logger.warn` or `logger.error`, return `null`, and **allow the main pipeline to continue processing the story** (using only comment summary). Do not throw an error that halts the entire application.
- **File I/O (`fs` module):**
- Wrap `fs` operations (especially writes) in `try...catch`. Log any file system errors using `logger.error`.
- **Email Sending (`Nodemailer`):**
- Wrap `transporter.sendMail()` in `try...catch`. Log success (including message ID) or failure clearly using the logger.
- **Configuration Loading (`config.ts`):**
- Check for the presence of all required environment variables at startup. Throw a fatal error and exit if required variables are missing.
- **LLM Interaction (Ollama Client):**
- **LLM Prompts:** Use the standardized prompts defined in `docs/prompts.md` when interacting with the Ollama client for consistency.
- Wrap `generateSummary` calls in `try...catch`. Log errors from the client (which handles API/network issues).
- **Comment Truncation:** Before sending comments for discussion summary, check for the `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` env var. If set to a positive number, truncate the combined comment text block to this length. Log a warning if truncation occurs. If not set, send the full text.
## Security Best Practices
- **Input Sanitization/Validation:** While primarily a local tool, validate critical inputs like external URLs (`story.articleUrl`) before attempting to fetch them. Basic checks (e.g., starts with `http://` or `https://`) are sufficient for MVP .
- **Secrets Management:**
- **Mandatory:** Store sensitive data (`EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`) only in the `.env` file.
- **Mandatory:** Ensure the `.env` file is included in `.gitignore` and is never committed to version control.
- Do not hardcode secrets anywhere in the source code.
- **Dependency Security:** Periodically run `npm audit` to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies. Consider enabling Dependabot if using GitHub.
- **HTTP Client:** Use the native `Workspace` API as required ; avoid introducing less secure or overly complex HTTP client libraries.
- **Scraping User-Agent:** Set a default User-Agent header in the scraper code (e.g., "BMadHackerDigest/0.1"). Allow overriding this default via the optional SCRAPER_USER_AGENT environment variable.

- **Modular Design:** The application is broken down into distinct modules based on responsibility (e.g., `clients/`, `scraper/`, `email/`, `utils/`) to promote separation of concerns, testability, and maintainability. See `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Client Abstraction:** External service interactions (Algolia, Ollama) are encapsulated within dedicated client modules in `src/clients/`.
- **Filesystem Persistence:** Intermediate data is persisted to the local filesystem instead of a database, acting as a handoff between pipeline stages.
## Coding Standards
- **Primary Language:** TypeScript (v5.x, as configured in boilerplate)
- **Primary Runtime:** Node.js (v22.x, as required by PRD )
- **Style Guide & Linter:** ESLint and Prettier. Configuration is provided by the `bmad-boilerplate`.
- **Mandatory:** Run `npm run lint` and `npm run format` regularly and before committing code. Code must be free of lint errors.
- **Naming Conventions:**
- Variables & Functions: `camelCase`
- Classes, Types, Interfaces: `PascalCase`
- Constants: `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
- Files: `kebab-case.ts` (e.g., `article-scraper.ts`) or `camelCase.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.ts`). Be consistent within module types (e.g., all clients follow one pattern, all utils another). Let's default to `camelCase.ts` for consistency with class/module names where applicable (e.g. `ollamaClient.ts`) and `kebab-case.ts` for more descriptive utils or stage runners (e.g. `Workspace-hn-data.ts`).
- Test Files: `*.test.ts` (e.g., `ollamaClient.test.ts`)
- **File Structure:** Adhere strictly to the layout defined in `docs/project-structure.md`.
- **Asynchronous Operations:** **Mandatory:** Use `async`/`await` for all asynchronous operations (e.g., native `Workspace` HTTP calls , `fs/promises` file operations, Ollama client calls, Nodemailer `sendMail`). Avoid using raw Promises `.then()`/`.catch()` syntax where `async/await` provides better readability.
- **Type Safety:** Leverage TypeScript's static typing. Use interfaces and types defined in `src/types/` where appropriate. Assume `strict` mode is enabled in `tsconfig.json` (from boilerplate). Avoid using `any` unless absolutely necessary and justified.
- **Comments & Documentation:**
- Use JSDoc comments for exported functions, classes, and complex logic.
- Keep comments concise and focused on the _why_, not the _what_, unless the code is particularly complex.
- Update READMEs as needed for setup or usage changes.
- **Dependency Management:**
- Use `npm` for package management.
- Keep production dependencies minimal, as required by the PRD . Justify any additions.
- Use `devDependencies` for testing, linting, and build tools.
## Error Handling Strategy
- **General Approach:** Use standard JavaScript `try...catch` blocks for operations that can fail (I/O, network requests, parsing, etc.). Throw specific `Error` objects with descriptive messages. Avoid catching errors without logging or re-throwing unless intentionally handling a specific case.
- **Logging:**
- **Mandatory:** Use the central logger utility (`src/utils/logger.ts`) for all console output (INFO, WARN, ERROR). Do not use `console.log` directly in application logic.
- **Format:** Basic text format for MVP. Structured JSON logging to files is a post-MVP enhancement.
- **Levels:** Use appropriate levels (`logger.info`, `logger.warn`, `logger.error`).
- **Context:** Include relevant context in log messages (e.g., Story ID, function name, URL being processed) to aid debugging.
- **Specific Handling Patterns:**
- **External API Calls (Algolia, Ollama via `Workspace`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` calls in `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok` status; if false, log the status code and potentially response body text, then treat as an error (e.g., return `null` or throw).
- Log network errors caught by the `catch` block.
- No automated retries required for MVP.
- **Article Scraping (`articleScraper.ts`):**
- Wrap `Workspace` and text extraction (`article-extractor`) logic in `try...catch`.
- Handle non-2xx responses, timeouts, non-HTML content types, and extraction errors.
- **Crucial:** If scraping fails for any reason, log the error/reason using `logger.warn` or `logger.error`, return `null`, and **allow the main pipeline to continue processing the story** (using only comment summary). Do not throw an error that halts the entire application.
- **File I/O (`fs` module):**
- Wrap `fs` operations (especially writes) in `try...catch`. Log any file system errors using `logger.error`.
- **Email Sending (`Nodemailer`):**
- Wrap `transporter.sendMail()` in `try...catch`. Log success (including message ID) or failure clearly using the logger.
- **Configuration Loading (`config.ts`):**
- Check for the presence of all required environment variables at startup. Throw a fatal error and exit if required variables are missing.
- **LLM Interaction (Ollama Client):**
- **LLM Prompts:** Use the standardized prompts defined in `docs/prompts.md` when interacting with the Ollama client for consistency.
- Wrap `generateSummary` calls in `try...catch`. Log errors from the client (which handles API/network issues).
- **Comment Truncation:** Before sending comments for discussion summary, check for the `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` env var. If set to a positive number, truncate the combined comment text block to this length. Log a warning if truncation occurs. If not set, send the full text.
## Security Best Practices
- **Input Sanitization/Validation:** While primarily a local tool, validate critical inputs like external URLs (`story.articleUrl`) before attempting to fetch them. Basic checks (e.g., starts with `http://` or `https://`) are sufficient for MVP .
- **Secrets Management:**
- **Mandatory:** Store sensitive data (`EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`) only in the `.env` file.
- **Mandatory:** Ensure the `.env` file is included in `.gitignore` and is never committed to version control.
- Do not hardcode secrets anywhere in the source code.
- **Dependency Security:** Periodically run `npm audit` to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies. Consider enabling Dependabot if using GitHub.
- **HTTP Client:** Use the native `Workspace` API as required ; avoid introducing less secure or overly complex HTTP client libraries.
- **Scraping User-Agent:** Set a default User-Agent header in the scraper code (e.g., "BMadHackerDigest/0.1"). Allow overriding this default via the optional SCRAPER_USER_AGENT environment variable.

# Epic 1 file
# Epic 1: Project Initialization & Core Setup
**Goal:** Initialize the project using the "bmad-boilerplate", manage dependencies, setup `.env` and config loading, establish basic CLI entry point, setup basic logging and output directory structure. This provides the foundational setup for all subsequent development work.
## Story List
### Story 1.1: Initialize Project from Boilerplate
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to set up the initial project structure using the `bmad-boilerplate`, so that I have the standard tooling (TS, Jest, ESLint, Prettier), configurations, and scripts in place.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Copy or clone the contents of the `bmad-boilerplate` into the new project's root directory.
- Initialize a git repository in the project root directory (if not already done by cloning).
- Ensure the `.gitignore` file from the boilerplate is present.
- Run `npm install` to download and install all `devDependencies` specified in the boilerplate's `package.json`.
- Verify that the core boilerplate scripts (`lint`, `format`, `test`, `build`) execute without errors on the initial codebase.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The project directory contains the files and structure from `bmad-boilerplate`.
- AC2: A `node_modules` directory exists and contains packages corresponding to `devDependencies`.
- AC3: `npm run lint` command completes successfully without reporting any linting errors.
- AC4: `npm run format` command completes successfully, potentially making formatting changes according to Prettier rules. Running it a second time should result in no changes.
- AC5: `npm run test` command executes Jest successfully (it may report "no tests found" which is acceptable at this stage).
- AC6: `npm run build` command executes successfully, creating a `dist` directory containing compiled JavaScript output.
- AC7: The `.gitignore` file exists and includes entries for `node_modules/`, `.env`, `dist/`, etc. as specified in the boilerplate.
---
### Story 1.2: Setup Environment Configuration
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to establish the environment configuration mechanism using `.env` files, so that secrets and settings (like output paths) can be managed outside of version control, following boilerplate conventions.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add a production dependency for loading `.env` files (e.g., `dotenv`). Run `npm install dotenv --save-prod` (or similar library).
- Verify the `.env.example` file exists (from boilerplate).
- Add an initial configuration variable `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output` to `.env.example`.
- Create the `.env` file locally by copying `.env.example`. Populate `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` if needed (can keep default).
- Implement a utility module (e.g., `src/config.ts`) that loads environment variables from the `.env` file at application startup.
- The utility should export the loaded configuration values (initially just `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Ensure the `.env` file is listed in `.gitignore` and is not committed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The chosen `.env` library (e.g., `dotenv`) is listed under `dependencies` in `package.json` and `package-lock.json` is updated.
- AC2: The `.env.example` file exists, is tracked by git, and contains the line `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH=./output`.
- AC3: The `.env` file exists locally but is NOT tracked by git.
- AC4: A configuration module (`src/config.ts` or similar) exists and successfully loads the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value from `.env` when the application starts.
- AC5: The loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` value is accessible within the application code.
---
### Story 1.3: Implement Basic CLI Entry Point & Execution
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic `src/index.ts` entry point that can be executed via the boilerplate's `dev` and `start` scripts, providing a working foundation for the application logic.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create the main application entry point file at `src/index.ts`.
- Implement minimal code within `src/index.ts` to:
- Import the configuration loading mechanism (from Story 1.2).
- Log a simple startup message to the console (e.g., "BMad Hacker Daily Digest - Starting Up...").
- (Optional) Log the loaded `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` to verify config loading.
- Confirm execution using boilerplate scripts.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `src/index.ts` file exists.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` executes `src/index.ts` via `ts-node` and logs the startup message to the console.
- AC3: Running `npm run build` successfully compiles `src/index.ts` (and any imports) into the `dist` directory.
- AC4: Running `npm start` (after a successful build) executes the compiled code from `dist` and logs the startup message to the console.
---
### Story 1.4: Setup Basic Logging and Output Directory
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic console logging mechanism and the dynamic creation of a date-stamped output directory, so that the application can provide execution feedback and prepare for storing data artifacts in subsequent epics.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Implement a simple, reusable logging utility module (e.g., `src/logger.ts`). Initially, it can wrap `console.log`, `console.warn`, `console.error`.
- Refactor `src/index.ts` to use this `logger` for its startup message(s).
- In `src/index.ts` (or a setup function called by it):
- Retrieve the `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH` from the configuration (loaded in Story 1.2).
- Determine the current date in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format.
- Construct the full path for the date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`).
- Check if the base output directory exists; if not, create it.
- Check if the date-stamped subdirectory exists; if not, create it recursively. Use Node.js `fs` module (e.g., `fs.mkdirSync(path, { recursive: true })`).
- Log (using the logger) the full path of the output directory being used for the current run (e.g., "Output directory for this run: ./output/2025-05-04").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A logger utility module (`src/logger.ts` or similar) exists and is used for console output in `src/index.ts`.
- AC2: Running `npm run dev` or `npm start` logs the startup message via the logger.
- AC3: Running the application creates the base output directory (e.g., `./output` defined in `.env`) if it doesn't already exist.
- AC4: Running the application creates a date-stamped subdirectory (e.g., `./output/2025-05-04`) within the base output directory if it doesn't already exist.
- AC5: The application logs a message indicating the full path to the date-stamped output directory created/used for the current execution.
- AC6: The application exits gracefully after performing these setup steps (for now).

# Epic 2 File
# Epic 2: HN Data Acquisition & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement fetching top 10 stories and their comments (respecting limits) from Algolia HN API, and persist this raw data locally into the date-stamped output directory created in Epic 1. Implement a stage testing utility for fetching.
## Story List
### Story 2.1: Implement Algolia HN API Client
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a dedicated client module to interact with the Algolia Hacker News Search API, so that fetching stories and comments is encapsulated, reusable, and uses the required native `Workspace` API.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `WorkspaceTopStories` within the client:
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for front-page stories (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=front_page&hitsPerPage=10`). Adjust `hitsPerPage` if needed to ensure 10 stories.
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required metadata for each story: `objectID` (use as `storyId`), `title`, `url` (article URL), `points`, `num_comments`. Handle potential missing `url` field gracefully (log warning, maybe skip story later if URL needed).
- Construct the `hnUrl` for each story (e.g., `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id={storyId}`).
- Return an array of structured story objects.
- Implement a separate async function `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` within the client:
- Accept `storyId` and `maxComments` limit as arguments.
- Use native `Workspace` to call the Algolia HN Search API endpoint for comments of a specific story (e.g., `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=comment,story_{storyId}&hitsPerPage={maxComments}`).
- Parse the JSON response.
- Extract required comment data: `objectID` (use as `commentId`), `comment_text`, `author`, `created_at`.
- Filter out comments where `comment_text` is null or empty. Ensure only up to `maxComments` are returned.
- Return an array of structured comment objects.
- Implement basic error handling using `try...catch` around `Workspace` calls and check `response.ok` status. Log errors using the logger utility from Epic 1.
- Define TypeScript interfaces/types for the expected structures of API responses (stories, comments) and the data returned by the client functions (e.g., `Story`, `Comment`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The module `src/clients/algoliaHNClient.ts` exists and exports `WorkspaceTopStories` and `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` functions.
- AC2: Calling `WorkspaceTopStories` makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of 10 `Story` objects containing the specified metadata.
- AC3: Calling `WorkspaceCommentsForStory` with a valid `storyId` and `maxComments` limit makes a network request to the correct Algolia endpoint and returns a promise resolving to an array of `Comment` objects (up to `maxComments`), filtering out empty ones.
- AC4: Both functions use the native `Workspace` API internally.
- AC5: Network errors or non-successful API responses (e.g., status 4xx, 5xx) are caught and logged using the logger.
- AC6: Relevant TypeScript types (`Story`, `Comment`, etc.) are defined and used within the client module.
---
### Story 2.2: Integrate HN Data Fetching into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the HN data fetching logic into the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`), so that running the app retrieves the top 10 stories and their comments after completing the setup from Epic 1.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` (or a main async function called by it).
- Import the `algoliaHNClient` functions.
- Import the configuration module to access `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- After the Epic 1 setup (config load, logger init, output dir creation), call `WorkspaceTopStories()`.
- Log the number of stories fetched.
- Iterate through the array of fetched `Story` objects.
- For each `Story`, call `WorkspaceCommentsForStory()`, passing the `story.storyId` and the configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- Store the fetched comments within the corresponding `Story` object in memory (e.g., add a `comments: Comment[]` property to the `Story` object).
- Log progress using the logger utility (e.g., "Fetched 10 stories.", "Fetching up to X comments for story {storyId}...").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 setup steps followed by fetching stories and then comments for each story.
- AC2: Logs clearly show the start and successful completion of fetching stories, and the start of fetching comments for each of the 10 stories.
- AC3: The configured `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY` value is read from config and used in the calls to `WorkspaceCommentsForStory`.
- AC4: After successful execution, story objects held in memory contain a nested array of fetched comment objects. (Can be verified via debugger or temporary logging).
---
### Story 2.3: Persist Fetched HN Data Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the fetched HN stories (including their comments) to JSON files in the date-stamped output directory, so that the raw data is persisted locally for subsequent pipeline stages and debugging.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define a consistent JSON structure for the output file content. Example: `{ storyId: "...", title: "...", url: "...", hnUrl: "...", points: ..., fetchedAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", comments: [{ commentId: "...", text: "...", author: "...", createdAt: "ISO_TIMESTAMP", ... }, ...] }`. Include a timestamp for when the data was fetched.
- Import Node.js `fs` (specifically `fs.writeFileSync`) and `path` modules.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), within the loop iterating through stories (after comments have been fetched and added to the story object in Story 2.2):
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory (determined in Epic 1).
- Construct the filename for the story's data: `{storyId}_data.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the complete story object (including comments and fetch timestamp) to a JSON string using `JSON.stringify(storyObject, null, 2)` for readability.
- Write the JSON string to the file using `fs.writeFileSync()`. Use a `try...catch` block for error handling.
- Log (using the logger) the successful persistence of each story's data file or any errors encountered during file writing.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory (e.g., `./output/YYYY-MM-DD/`) contains exactly 10 files named `{storyId}_data.json`.
- AC2: Each JSON file contains valid JSON representing a single story object, including its metadata, fetch timestamp, and an array of its fetched comments, matching the defined structure.
- AC3: The number of comments in each file's `comments` array does not exceed `MAX_COMMENTS_PER_STORY`.
- AC4: Logs indicate that saving data to a file was attempted for each story, reporting success or specific file writing errors.
---
### Story 2.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for HN Fetching
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate, executable script that *only* performs the HN data fetching and persistence, so I can test and trigger this stage independently of the full pipeline.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts`.
- This script should perform the essential setup required for this stage: initialize logger, load configuration (`.env`), determine and create output directory (reuse or replicate logic from Epic 1 / `src/index.ts`).
- The script should then execute the core logic of fetching stories via `algoliaHNClient.fetchTopStories`, fetching comments via `algoliaHNClient.fetchCommentsForStory` (using loaded config for limit), and persisting the results to JSON files using `fs.writeFileSync` (replicating logic from Story 2.3).
- The script should log its progress using the logger utility.
- Add a new script command to `package.json` under `"scripts"`: `"stage:fetch": "ts-node src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts"`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/fetch_hn_data.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:fetch` is defined in `package.json`'s `scripts` section.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:fetch` executes successfully, performing only the setup, fetch, and persist steps.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:fetch` creates the same 10 `{storyId}_data.json` files in the correct date-stamped output directory as running the main `npm run dev` command (at the current state of development).
- AC5: Logs generated by `npm run stage:fetch` reflect only the fetching and persisting steps, not subsequent pipeline stages.

# Epic 3 File
# Epic 3: Article Scraping & Persistence
**Goal:** Implement a best-effort article scraping mechanism to fetch and extract plain text content from the external URLs associated with fetched HN stories. Handle failures gracefully and persist successfully scraped text locally. Implement a stage testing utility for scraping.
## Story List
### Story 3.1: Implement Basic Article Scraper Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that attempts to fetch HTML from a URL and extract the main article text using basic methods, handling common failures gracefully, so article content can be prepared for summarization.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Add a suitable HTML parsing/extraction library dependency (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor` recommended for simplicity, or `cheerio` for more control). Run `npm install @extractus/article-extractor --save-prod` (or chosen alternative).
- Implement an async function `scrapeArticle(url: string): Promise<string | null>` within the module.
- Inside the function:
- Use native `Workspace` to retrieve content from the `url`. Set a reasonable timeout (e.g., 10-15 seconds). Include a `User-Agent` header to mimic a browser.
- Handle potential `Workspace` errors (network errors, timeouts) using `try...catch`.
- Check the `response.ok` status. If not okay, log error and return `null`.
- Check the `Content-Type` header of the response. If it doesn't indicate HTML (e.g., does not include `text/html`), log warning and return `null`.
- If HTML is received, attempt to extract the main article text using the chosen library (`article-extractor` preferred).
- Wrap the extraction logic in a `try...catch` to handle library-specific errors.
- Return the extracted plain text string if successful. Ensure it's just text, not HTML markup.
- Return `null` if extraction fails or results in empty content.
- Log all significant events, errors, or reasons for returning null (e.g., "Scraping URL...", "Fetch failed:", "Non-HTML content type:", "Extraction failed:", "Successfully extracted text") using the logger utility.
- Define TypeScript types/interfaces as needed.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `articleScraper.ts` module exists and exports the `scrapeArticle` function.
- AC2: The chosen scraping library (e.g., `@extractus/article-extractor`) is added to `dependencies` in `package.json`.
- AC3: `scrapeArticle` uses native `Workspace` with a timeout and User-Agent header.
- AC4: `scrapeArticle` correctly handles fetch errors, non-OK responses, and non-HTML content types by logging and returning `null`.
- AC5: `scrapeArticle` uses the chosen library to attempt text extraction from valid HTML content.
- AC6: `scrapeArticle` returns the extracted plain text on success, and `null` on any failure (fetch, non-HTML, extraction error, empty result).
- AC7: Relevant logs are produced for success, failure modes, and errors encountered during the process.
---
### Story 3.2: Integrate Article Scraping into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the article scraper into the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), attempting to scrape the article for each HN story that has a valid URL, after fetching its data.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import the `scrapeArticle` function from `src/scraper/articleScraper.ts`.
- Within the main loop iterating through the fetched stories (after comments are fetched in Epic 2):
- Check if `story.url` exists and appears to be a valid HTTP/HTTPS URL. A simple check for starting with `http://` or `https://` is sufficient.
- If the URL is missing or invalid, log a warning ("Skipping scraping for story {storyId}: Missing or invalid URL") and proceed to the next story's processing step.
- If a valid URL exists, log ("Attempting to scrape article for story {storyId} from {story.url}").
- Call `await scrapeArticle(story.url)`.
- Store the result (the extracted text string or `null`) in memory, associated with the story object (e.g., add property `articleContent: string | null`).
- Log the outcome clearly (e.g., "Successfully scraped article for story {storyId}", "Failed to scrape article for story {storyId}").
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes Epic 1 & 2 steps, and then attempts article scraping for stories with valid URLs.
- AC2: Stories with missing or invalid URLs are skipped, and a corresponding log message is generated.
- AC3: For stories with valid URLs, the `scrapeArticle` function is called.
- AC4: Logs clearly indicate the start and success/failure outcome of the scraping attempt for each relevant story.
- AC5: Story objects held in memory after this stage contain an `articleContent` property holding the scraped text (string) or `null` if scraping was skipped or failed.
---
### Story 3.3: Persist Scraped Article Text Locally
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save successfully scraped article text to a separate local file for each story, so that the text content is available as input for the summarization stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Import Node.js `fs` and `path` modules if not already present in `src/index.ts`.
- In the main workflow (`src/index.ts`), immediately after a successful call to `scrapeArticle` for a story (where the result is a non-null string):
- Retrieve the full path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Get the successfully scraped article text string (`articleContent`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync(fullPath, articleContent, 'utf-8')` to save the text to the file. Wrap in `try...catch` for file system errors.
- Log the successful saving of the file (e.g., "Saved scraped article text to {filename}") or any file writing errors encountered.
- Ensure *no* `_article.txt` file is created if `scrapeArticle` returned `null` (due to skipping or failure).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains `_article.txt` files *only* for those stories where `scrapeArticle` succeeded and returned text content.
- AC2: The name of each article text file is `{storyId}_article.txt`.
- AC3: The content of each `_article.txt` file is the plain text string returned by `scrapeArticle`.
- AC4: Logs confirm the successful writing of each `_article.txt` file or report specific file writing errors.
- AC5: No empty `_article.txt` files are created. Files only exist if scraping was successful.
---
### Story 3.4: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Scraping
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the article scraping logic using HN story data from local files, allowing independent testing and debugging of the scraper.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `scrapeArticle`.
- The script should:
- Initialize the logger.
- Load configuration (to get `OUTPUT_DIR_PATH`).
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (e.g., `${OUTPUT_DIR_PATH}/YYYY-MM-DD`, using the current date or potentially an optional CLI argument). Ensure this directory exists.
- Read the directory contents and identify all `{storyId}_data.json` files.
- For each `_data.json` file found:
- Read and parse the JSON content.
- Extract the `storyId` and `url`.
- If a valid `url` exists, call `await scrapeArticle(url)`.
- If scraping succeeds (returns text), save the text to `{storyId}_article.txt` in the same directory (using logic from Story 3.3). Overwrite if the file exists.
- Log the progress and outcome (skip/success/fail) for each story processed.
- Add a new script command to `package.json`: `"stage:scrape": "ts-node src/stages/scrape_articles.ts"`. Consider adding argument parsing later if needed to specify a date/directory.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/scrape_articles.ts` exists.
- AC2: The script `stage:scrape` is defined in `package.json`.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:scrape` (assuming a directory with `_data.json` files exists from a previous `stage:fetch` run) reads these files.
- AC4: The script calls `scrapeArticle` for stories with valid URLs found in the JSON files.
- AC5: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_article.txt` files in the target directory corresponding to successfully scraped articles.
- AC6: The script logs its actions (reading files, attempting scraping, saving results) for each story ID processed.
- AC7: The script operates solely based on local `_data.json` files and fetching from external article URLs; it does not call the Algolia HN API.

# Epic 4: LLM Summarization & Persistence
**Goal:** Integrate with the configured local Ollama instance to generate summaries for successfully scraped article text and fetched comments. Persist these summaries locally. Implement a stage testing utility for summarization.
## Story List
### Story 4.1: Implement Ollama Client Module
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a client module to interact with the configured Ollama API endpoint via HTTP, handling requests and responses for text generation, so that summaries can be generated programmatically.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- **Prerequisite:** Ensure a local Ollama instance is installed and running, accessible via the URL defined in `.env` (`OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL`), and that the model specified in `.env` (`OLLAMA_MODEL`) has been downloaded (e.g., via `ollama pull model_name`). Instructions for this setup should be in the project README.
- Create a new module: `src/clients/ollamaClient.ts`.
- Implement an async function `generateSummary(promptTemplate: string, content: string): Promise<string | null>`. *(Note: Parameter name changed for clarity)*
- Add configuration variables `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` (e.g., `http://localhost:11434`) and `OLLAMA_MODEL` (e.g., `llama3`) to `.env.example`. Ensure they are loaded via the config module (`src/utils/config.ts`). Update local `.env` with actual values. Add optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` to `.env.example` with a default like `120000`.
- Inside `generateSummary`:
- Construct the full prompt string using the `promptTemplate` and the provided `content` (e.g., replacing a placeholder like `{Content Placeholder}` in the template, or simple concatenation if templates are basic).
- Construct the Ollama API request payload (JSON): `{ model: configured_model, prompt: full_prompt, stream: false }`. Refer to Ollama `/api/generate` documentation and `docs/data-models.md`.
- Use native `Workspace` to send a POST request to the configured Ollama endpoint + `/api/generate`. Set appropriate headers (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the configured `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` or a reasonable default (e.g., 2 minutes).
- Handle `Workspace` errors (network, timeout) using `try...catch`.
- Check `response.ok`. If not OK, log the status/error and return `null`.
- Parse the JSON response from Ollama. Extract the generated text (typically in the `response` field). Refer to `docs/data-models.md`.
- Check for potential errors within the Ollama response structure itself (e.g., an `error` field).
- Return the extracted summary string on success. Return `null` on any failure.
- Log key events: initiating request (mention model), receiving response, success, failure reasons, potentially request/response time using the logger.
- Define necessary TypeScript types for the Ollama request payload and expected response structure in `src/types/ollama.ts` (referenced in `docs/data-models.md`).
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `ollamaClient.ts` module exists and exports `generateSummary`.
- AC2: `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT_URL` and `OLLAMA_MODEL` are defined in `.env.example`, loaded via config, and used by the client. Optional `OLLAMA_TIMEOUT_MS` is handled.
- AC3: `generateSummary` sends a correctly formatted POST request (model, full prompt based on template and content, stream:false) to the configured Ollama endpoint/path using native `Workspace`.
- AC4: Network errors, timeouts, and non-OK API responses are handled gracefully, logged, and result in a `null` return (given the Prerequisite Ollama service is running).
- AC5: A successful Ollama response is parsed correctly, the generated text is extracted, and returned as a string.
* AC6: Unexpected Ollama response formats or internal errors (e.g., `{"error": "..."}`) are handled, logged, and result in a `null` return.
* AC7: Logs provide visibility into the client's interaction with the Ollama API.
---
### Story 4.2: Define Summarization Prompts
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want standardized base prompts for generating article summaries and HN discussion summaries documented centrally, ensuring consistent instructions are sent to the LLM.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Define two standardized base prompts (`ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`, `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT`) **and document them in `docs/prompts.md`**.
* Ensure these prompts are accessible within the application code, for example, by defining them as exported constants in a dedicated module like `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reads from or mirrors the content in `docs/prompts.md`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC2: The `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` text is defined in `docs/prompts.md` with appropriate instructional content.
* AC3: The prompt texts documented in `docs/prompts.md` are available as constants or variables within the application code (e.g., via `src/utils/prompts.ts`) for use by the Ollama client integration.
---
### Story 4.3: Integrate Summarization into Main Workflow
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to integrate the Ollama client into the main workflow to generate summaries for each story's scraped article text (if available) and fetched comments, using centrally defined prompts and handling potential comment length limits.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts`.
* Import `ollamaClient.generateSummary` and the prompt constants/variables (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`, which reflect `docs/prompts.md`).
* Load the optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` configuration value from `.env` via the config utility.
* Within the main loop iterating through stories (after article scraping/persistence in Epic 3):
* **Article Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has non-null `articleContent`.
* If yes: log "Attempting article summarization for story {storyId}", call `await generateSummary(ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT, story.articleContent)`, store the result (string or null) as `story.articleSummary`, log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.articleSummary = null`, log "Skipping article summarization: No content".
* **Discussion Summary Generation:**
* Check if the `story` object has a non-empty `comments` array.
* If yes:
* Format the `story.comments` array into a single text block suitable for the LLM prompt (e.g., concatenating `comment.text` with separators like `---`).
* **Check truncation limit:** If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is configured to a positive number and the `formattedCommentsText` length exceeds it, truncate `formattedCommentsText` to the limit and log a warning: "Comment text truncated to {limit} characters for summarization for story {storyId}".
* Log "Attempting discussion summarization for story {storyId}".
* Call `await generateSummary(DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT, formattedCommentsText)`. *(Pass the potentially truncated text)*
* Store the result (string or null) as `story.discussionSummary`. Log success/failure.
* If no: set `story.discussionSummary = null`, log "Skipping discussion summarization: No comments".
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes steps from Epics 1-3, then attempts summarization using the Ollama client.
* AC2: Article summary is attempted only if `articleContent` exists for a story.
* AC3: Discussion summary is attempted only if `comments` exist for a story.
* AC4: `generateSummary` is called with the correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and corresponding content (article text or formatted/potentially truncated comments).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and comment text exceeds it, the text passed to `generateSummary` is truncated, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: Logs clearly indicate the start, success, or failure (including null returns from the client) for both article and discussion summarization attempts per story.
* AC7: Story objects in memory now contain `articleSummary` (string/null) and `discussionSummary` (string/null) properties.
---
### Story 4.4: Persist Generated Summaries Locally
*(No changes needed for this story based on recent decisions)*
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want to save the generated article and discussion summaries (or null placeholders) to a local JSON file for each story, making them available for the email assembly stage.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the structure for the summary output file: `{storyId}_summary.json`. Content example: `{ "storyId": "...", "articleSummary": "...", "discussionSummary": "...", "summarizedAt": "ISO_TIMESTAMP" }`. Note that `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` can be `null`.
- Import `fs` and `path` in `src/index.ts` or `src/core/pipeline.ts` if needed.
- In the main workflow loop, after *both* summarization attempts (article and discussion) for a story are complete:
- Create a summary result object containing `storyId`, `articleSummary` (string or null), `discussionSummary` (string or null), and the current ISO timestamp (`new Date().toISOString()`). Add this timestamp to the in-memory `story` object as well (`story.summarizedAt`).
- Get the full path to the date-stamped output directory.
- Construct the filename: `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- Construct the full file path using `path.join()`.
- Serialize the summary result object to JSON (`JSON.stringify(..., null, 2)`).
- Use `fs.writeFileSync` to save the JSON to the file, wrapping in `try...catch`.
- Log the successful saving of the summary file or any file writing errors.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: After running `npm run dev`, the date-stamped output directory contains 10 files named `{storyId}_summary.json`.
- AC2: Each `_summary.json` file contains valid JSON adhering to the defined structure.
- AC3: The `articleSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC4: The `discussionSummary` field contains the generated summary string if successful, otherwise `null`.
- AC5: A valid ISO timestamp is present in the `summarizedAt` field.
- AC6: Logs confirm successful writing of each summary file or report file system errors.

### Story 4.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Summarization
*(Changes needed to reflect prompt sourcing and optional truncation)*
* **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the LLM summarization logic using locally persisted data (HN comments, scraped article text), allowing independent testing of prompts and Ollama interaction.
* **Detailed Requirements:**
* Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/summarize_content.ts`.
* Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `ollamaClient`, prompt constants (e.g., from `src/utils/prompts.ts`).
* The script should:
* Initialize logger, load configuration (Ollama endpoint/model, output dir, **optional `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY`**).
* Determine target date-stamped directory path.
* Find all `{storyId}_data.json` files in the directory.
* For each `storyId` found:
* Read `{storyId}_data.json` to get comments. Format them into a single text block.
* *Attempt* to read `{storyId}_article.txt`. Handle file-not-found gracefully. Store content or null.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for article text (if not null) using `ARTICLE_SUMMARY_PROMPT`.
* **Apply truncation logic:** If comments exist, check `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` and truncate the formatted comment text block if needed, logging a warning.
* Call `ollamaClient.generateSummary` for formatted comments (if comments exist) using `DISCUSSION_SUMMARY_PROMPT` *(passing potentially truncated text)*.
* Construct the summary result object (with summaries or nulls, and timestamp).
* Save the result object to `{storyId}_summary.json` in the same directory (using logic from Story 4.4), overwriting if exists.
* Log progress (reading files, calling Ollama, truncation warnings, saving results) for each story ID.
* Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:summarize": "ts-node src/stages/summarize_content.ts"`.
* **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
* AC1: The file `src/stages/summarize_content.ts` exists.
* AC2: The script `stage:summarize` is defined in `package.json`.
* AC3: Running `npm run stage:summarize` (after `stage:fetch` and `stage:scrape` runs) reads `_data.json` and attempts to read `_article.txt` files from the target directory.
* AC4: The script calls the `ollamaClient` with correct prompts (sourced consistently with `docs/prompts.md`) and content derived *only* from the local files (requires Ollama service running per Story 4.1 prerequisite).
* AC5: If `MAX_COMMENT_CHARS_FOR_SUMMARY` is set and applicable, comment text is truncated before calling the client, and a warning is logged.
* AC6: The script creates/updates `{storyId}_summary.json` files in the target directory reflecting the results of the Ollama calls (summaries or nulls).
* AC7: Logs show the script processing each story ID found locally, interacting with Ollama, and saving results.
* AC8: The script does not call Algolia API or the article scraper module.

# Epic 5: Digest Assembly & Email Dispatch
**Goal:** Assemble the collected story data and summaries from local files, format them into a readable HTML email digest, and send the email using Nodemailer with configured credentials. Implement a stage testing utility for emailing with a dry-run option.
## Story List
### Story 5.1: Implement Email Content Assembler
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module that reads the persisted story metadata (`_data.json`) and summaries (`_summary.json`) from a specified directory, consolidating the necessary information needed to render the email digest.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Create a new module: `src/email/contentAssembler.ts`.
- Define a TypeScript type/interface `DigestData` representing the data needed per story for the email template: `{ storyId: string, title: string, hnUrl: string, articleUrl: string | null, articleSummary: string | null, discussionSummary: string | null }`.
- Implement an async function `assembleDigestData(dateDirPath: string): Promise<DigestData[]>`.
- The function should:
- Use Node.js `fs` to read the contents of the `dateDirPath`.
- Identify all files matching the pattern `{storyId}_data.json`.
- For each `storyId` found:
- Read and parse the `{storyId}_data.json` file. Extract `title`, `hnUrl`, and `url` (use as `articleUrl`). Handle potential file read/parse errors gracefully (log and skip story).
- Attempt to read and parse the corresponding `{storyId}_summary.json` file. Handle file-not-found or parse errors gracefully (treat `articleSummary` and `discussionSummary` as `null`).
- Construct a `DigestData` object for the story, including the extracted metadata and summaries (or nulls).
- Collect all successfully constructed `DigestData` objects into an array.
- Return the array. It should ideally contain 10 items if all previous stages succeeded.
- Log progress (e.g., "Assembling digest data from directory...", "Processing story {storyId}...") and any errors encountered during file processing using the logger.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The `contentAssembler.ts` module exists and exports `assembleDigestData` and the `DigestData` type.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` correctly reads `_data.json` files from the provided directory path.
- AC3: It attempts to read corresponding `_summary.json` files, correctly handling cases where the summary file might be missing or unparseable (resulting in null summaries for that story).
- AC4: The function returns a promise resolving to an array of `DigestData` objects, populated with data extracted from the files.
- AC5: Errors during file reading or JSON parsing are logged, and the function returns data for successfully processed stories.
---
### Story 5.2: Create HTML Email Template & Renderer
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a basic HTML email template and a function to render it with the assembled digest data, producing the final HTML content for the email body.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Define the HTML structure. This can be done using template literals within a function or potentially using a simple template file (e.g., `src/email/templates/digestTemplate.html`) and `fs.readFileSync`. Template literals are simpler for MVP.
- Create a function `renderDigestHtml(data: DigestData[], digestDate: string): string` (e.g., in `src/email/contentAssembler.ts` or a new `templater.ts`).
- The function should generate an HTML string with:
- A suitable title in the body (e.g., `<h1>Hacker News Top 10 Summaries for ${digestDate}</h1>`).
- A loop through the `data` array.
- For each `story` in `data`:
- Display `<h2><a href="${story.articleUrl || story.hnUrl}">${story.title}</a></h2>`.
- Display `<p><a href="${story.hnUrl}">View HN Discussion</a></p>`.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Article Summary</h3><p>${story.articleSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.articleSummary` is not null/empty.
- Conditionally display `<h3>Discussion Summary</h3><p>${story.discussionSummary}</p>` *only if* `story.discussionSummary` is not null/empty.
- Include a separator (e.g., `<hr style="margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;">`).
- Use basic inline CSS for minimal styling (margins, etc.) to ensure readability. Avoid complex layouts.
- Return the complete HTML document as a string.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: A function `renderDigestHtml` exists that accepts the digest data array and a date string.
- AC2: The function returns a single, complete HTML string.
- AC3: The generated HTML includes a title with the date and correctly iterates through the story data.
- AC4: For each story, the HTML displays the linked title, HN link, and conditionally displays the article and discussion summaries with headings.
- AC5: Basic separators and margins are used for readability. The HTML is simple and likely to render reasonably in most email clients.
---
### Story 5.3: Implement Nodemailer Email Sender
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a module to send the generated HTML email using Nodemailer, configured with credentials stored securely in the environment file.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add Nodemailer dependencies: `npm install nodemailer @types/nodemailer --save-prod`.
- Add required configuration variables to `.env.example` (and local `.env`): `EMAIL_HOST`, `EMAIL_PORT` (e.g., 587), `EMAIL_SECURE` (e.g., `false` for STARTTLS on 587, `true` for 465), `EMAIL_USER`, `EMAIL_PASS`, `EMAIL_FROM` (e.g., `"Your Name <you@example.com>"`), `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` (comma-separated list).
- Create a new module: `src/email/emailSender.ts`.
- Implement an async function `sendDigestEmail(subject: string, htmlContent: string): Promise<boolean>`.
- Inside the function:
- Load the `EMAIL_*` variables from the config module.
- Create a Nodemailer transporter using `nodemailer.createTransport` with the loaded config (host, port, secure flag, auth: { user, pass }).
- Verify transporter configuration using `transporter.verify()` (optional but recommended). Log verification success/failure.
- Parse the `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS` string into an array or comma-separated string suitable for the `to` field.
- Define the `mailOptions`: `{ from: EMAIL_FROM, to: parsedRecipients, subject: subject, html: htmlContent }`.
- Call `await transporter.sendMail(mailOptions)`.
- If `sendMail` succeeds, log the success message including the `messageId` from the result. Return `true`.
- If `sendMail` fails (throws error), log the error using the logger. Return `false`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: `nodemailer` and `@types/nodemailer` dependencies are added.
- AC2: `EMAIL_*` variables are defined in `.env.example` and loaded from config.
- AC3: `emailSender.ts` module exists and exports `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: `sendDigestEmail` correctly creates a Nodemailer transporter using configuration from `.env`. Transporter verification is attempted (optional AC).
- AC5: The `to` field is correctly populated based on `EMAIL_RECIPIENTS`.
- AC6: `transporter.sendMail` is called with correct `from`, `to`, `subject`, and `html` options.
- AC7: Email sending success (including message ID) or failure is logged clearly.
- AC8: The function returns `true` on successful sending, `false` otherwise.
---
### Story 5.4: Integrate Email Assembly and Sending into Main Workflow
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want the main application workflow (`src/index.ts`) to orchestrate the final steps: assembling digest data, rendering the HTML, and triggering the email send after all previous stages are complete.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Modify the main execution flow in `src/index.ts`.
- Import `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`.
- Execute these steps *after* the main loop (where stories are fetched, scraped, summarized, and persisted) completes:
- Log "Starting final digest assembly and email dispatch...".
- Determine the path to the current date-stamped output directory.
- Call `const digestData = await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- Check if `digestData` array is not empty.
- If yes:
- Get the current date string (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD').
- `const htmlContent = renderDigestHtml(digestData, currentDate)`.
- `const subject = \`BMad Hacker Daily Digest - ${currentDate}\``.
- `const emailSent = await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`.
- Log the final outcome based on `emailSent` ("Digest email sent successfully." or "Failed to send digest email.").
- If no (`digestData` is empty or assembly failed):
- Log an error: "Failed to assemble digest data or no data found. Skipping email."
- Log "BMad Hacker Daily Digest process finished."
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: Running `npm run dev` executes all stages (Epics 1-4) and then proceeds to email assembly and sending.
- AC2: `assembleDigestData` is called correctly with the output directory path after other processing is done.
- AC3: If data is assembled, `renderDigestHtml` and `sendDigestEmail` are called with the correct data, subject, and HTML.
- AC4: The final success or failure of the email sending step is logged.
- AC5: If `assembleDigestData` returns no data, email sending is skipped, and an appropriate message is logged.
- AC6: The application logs a final completion message.
---
### Story 5.5: Implement Stage Testing Utility for Emailing
- **User Story / Goal:** As a developer, I want a separate script/command to test the email assembly, rendering, and sending logic using persisted local data, including a crucial `--dry-run` option to prevent accidental email sending during tests.
- **Detailed Requirements:**
- Add `yargs` dependency for argument parsing: `npm install yargs @types/yargs --save-dev`.
- Create a new standalone script file: `src/stages/send_digest.ts`.
- Import necessary modules: `fs`, `path`, `logger`, `config`, `assembleDigestData`, `renderDigestHtml`, `sendDigestEmail`, `yargs`.
- Use `yargs` to parse command-line arguments, specifically looking for a `--dry-run` boolean flag (defaulting to `false`). Allow an optional argument for specifying the date-stamped directory, otherwise default to current date.
- The script should:
- Initialize logger, load config.
- Determine the target date-stamped directory path (from arg or default). Log the target directory.
- Call `await assembleDigestData(dateDirPath)`.
- If data is assembled and not empty:
- Determine the date string for the subject/title.
- Call `renderDigestHtml(digestData, dateString)` to get HTML.
- Construct the subject string.
- Check the `dryRun` flag:
- If `true`: Log "DRY RUN enabled. Skipping actual email send.". Log the subject. Save the `htmlContent` to a file in the target directory (e.g., `_digest_preview.html`). Log that the preview file was saved.
- If `false`: Log "Live run: Attempting to send email...". Call `await sendDigestEmail(subject, htmlContent)`. Log success/failure based on the return value.
- If data assembly fails or is empty, log the error.
- Add script to `package.json`: `"stage:email": "ts-node src/stages/send_digest.ts --"`. The `--` allows passing arguments like `--dry-run`.
- **Acceptance Criteria (ACs):**
- AC1: The file `src/stages/send_digest.ts` exists. `yargs` dependency is added.
- AC2: The script `stage:email` is defined in `package.json` allowing arguments.
- AC3: Running `npm run stage:email -- --dry-run` reads local data, renders HTML, logs the intent, saves `_digest_preview.html` locally, and does *not* call `sendDigestEmail`.
- AC4: Running `npm run stage:email` (without `--dry-run`) reads local data, renders HTML, and *does* call `sendDigestEmail`, logging the outcome.
- AC5: The script correctly identifies and acts upon the `--dry-run` flag.
- AC6: Logs clearly distinguish between dry runs and live runs and report success/failure.
- AC7: The script operates using only local files and the email configuration/service; it does not invoke prior pipeline stages (Algolia, scraping, Ollama).
