🧠 Idea Miner — Daily Creative Intelligence

Overview

Mines today's creative ideas, inspiration hotspots, and startup signals from public sources. Produces a structured Markdown report with demand signals, trending projects, and actionable insights.

The report is saved to /opt/data/hermes/idea-miner/idea-miner_{YYYYMMDD}.md and delivered to the configured destination (Telegram, etc.).

When to Use

• Cron job for daily idea-mining runs (referenced by trender-idea-miner and 每日创意推送)
• User asks: "what are today's hot ideas", "find me startup opportunities", "trending projects analysis"
• Any session that needs to synthesize multi-source trend intelligence

Data Sources

✅ Available & Tested

❌ Currently Unavailable

Data Acquisition Workflow

1. Use curl -s -o /tmp/filename.json -w '%{http_code}' to save to temp file first (avoids pipe-to-interpreter security blocks in cron mode)
2. Parse with python3 -c "import json; data = json.load(open('/tmp/filename.json')); ..."
3. Saved temp files are disposable — clean up or leave in /tmp

Report Format

The report uses Chinese (用户偏好) with the following sections:

Report Generation Steps

1. Fetch HN front page — identifies the overall tech zeitgeist for the day
2. Fetch HN Ask HN — captures user needs, pain points, and demand signals
3. Fetch HN Show HN (recent, points>10) — captures new projects people are building
4. Fetch GitHub trending repos (last 7 days) — identifies what developers are excited about
5. Fetch additional sources if available (Reddit, Twitter, etc.)
6. Synthesize findings into the structured report
7. Save to file at /opt/data/hermes/idea-miner/idea-miner_{YYYYMMDD}.md
8. Output the report as final response — the cron delivery system automatically delivers it

File Save Convention

• Directory: /opt/data/hermes/idea-miner/
• Filename: idea-miner_{YYYYMMDD}.md (e.g., idea-miner_20260727.md)
• If the directory doesn't exist, create it

Common Pitfalls

1. HN Algolia URL encoding: The numericFilters parameter with > must use %3E not raw >. E.g. numericFilters=points%3E10
2. Reddit API blocked: Don't retry Reddit JSON API with this IP — it's consistently 403. Only retry if OAuth creds are configured.
3. Pipe-to-interpreter security blocks: In cron mode, curl | python3 triggers security warnings. Save output to file first with -o /tmp/file, then parse with python3 -c reading from file.
4. GitHub API rate limits: Without authentication, GitHub API is limited to 60 req/hr. For 10 repos + description parsing per run this is fine, but batch requests if expanding.
5. Show HN search prefers search_by_date: The /search endpoint returns all-time top, not recent. Use /search_by_date for recent Show HN posts.
6. No xurl installed: X/Twitter mining won't work unless xurl CLI is installed and OAuth'd.
7. Google Trends unavailable via simple curl: None of the documented public endpoints work (404). Skip silently.

Verification Checklist

• [ ] HN front page fetched and parsed correctly
• [ ] Ask HN fetched for demand signals
• [ ] Show HN (recent) fetched for new projects
• [ ] GitHub trending repos fetched
• [ ] Report is structured with all tables and sections
• [ ] File saved to correct path with date-stamped filename
• [ ] Report output as final message (cron delivery takes over)

Related Scripts

The legacy shell script at /root/.hermes/scripts/idea-miner_daily.sh references a Python script at ~/idea-miner/idea_miner.py that no longer exists. The cron jobs now run Hermes agent directly with the prompt, bypassing the shell script. If the shell script is ever re-enabled, it needs to be updated.

The user has provided the following instruction alongside the skill invocation: [IMPORTANT: You are running as a scheduled cron job. DELIVERY: Your final response will be automatically delivered to the user — do NOT use send_message or try to deliver the output yourself. Just produce your report/output as your final response and the system handles the rest. SILENT: If there is genuinely nothing new to report, respond with exactly "[SILENT]" (nothing else) to suppress delivery. Never combine [SILENT] with content — either report your findings normally, or say [SILENT] and nothing more.]

Response

🧠 每日创意情报简报 — 2026-07-29

📡 数据来源：HN Front Page、Ask HN、Show HN、GitHub Trending
⚠️ Reddit / X-Twitter / Google Trends 因 API 限制暂不可用

📢 需求现场 — 高意向需求与讨论

🔑 需求洞察

1. AI SaaS 可靠性缺口：付费用户遇到问题无法获得支持 → 机会：AI 服务监控/SLA 保障工具
2. 开发者安全焦虑：安装开源项目的安全顾虑持续存在 → 机会：依赖安全审计、沙箱运行环境
3. AI 过度渗透反弹：用户对"万物皆AI"产生抵触 → 机会：精准定位的垂直 AI 工具
4. ML 推理基础设施：推理优化是实际生产痛点 → 机会：推理优化工具链、成本监控

AI Agent 生态 ──────────────────────────▶ 核心赛道
  ├── 个人 AI 助手 (openclaw 384K) ────▶ 需求验证 ✅
  ├── Agent 技能框架 (superpowers/ECC) ─▶ 模块化趋势
  ├── 自进化 Agent (hermes-agent) ──────▶ 长期价值
  └── 编码 Agent (opencode/claw-code) ──▶ 竞争激烈

开发者工具 ─────────────────────────────▶ 持续需求
  ├── 文档转换 (markitdown 170K) ──────▶ 实用刚需
  ├── 免费基础设施 (FreeDomain) ───────▶ 成本敏感
  └── 工程效率 (skills 193K) ──────────▶ 个人品牌化

关键发现：GitHub trending 完全被 AI Agent 生态占据。新进入者应关注 垂直场景 Agent（非通用助手）或 Agent 基础设施（监控、安全、编排）。
