Daily News Briefing Cron - FIXED
Issue: Morning briefing wasn't posting to Discord despite cron firing.
Root Cause: The AI generated text but never called the message tool to actually send it.
Solution: Updated prompt to explicitly instruct using web_search and then message tool.
Working Prompt:
Generate a morning news briefing covering: 1) Formula 1 updates, 2) LLM/AI industry news,
3) Self-hosting/homelab news. Use web_search to find current news, then use the `message`
tool to send the finished briefing to Discord channel 1471156195233628394 with action=send.
IMPORTANT: Include direct URLs/links to each article/source mentioned. Format with markdown
links like [title](url).

Discord #home-assistant Channel Issue
Problem: Model returning empty responses ("content": []) in #home-assistant only — #projects and #general worked fine.
Initial Diagnosis: Session had accumulated 197K tokens, thought it was a context limit issue.
Attempted Fix: Ran /compact — reduced context to 0K, but empty responses persisted.
Root Cause: Session corruption — model calls were succeeding but returning no content. Same model works in other channels.
Attempted Resolution: Suggested /terminate in the channel to force fresh session creation.
Session Details:
- Session:
agent:main:discord:channel:1466074219829006599 - Session ID:
c9046c92-269c-4626-bc95-d341231bda5d - Model:
kimi-k2.5:cloud(same as working channels)
Notes
- Dashboard uses
aiagentshostname for all internal links (Tailscale-friendly) - Frigate detections update every 10s via PHP proxy
- News briefing fires at 8 AM daily
- Supermemory backup runs at 2 AM daily
Afternoon Session (#home-assistant)
Session Corruption - RESOLVED
What happened: Model started returning empty responses ([]) in #home-assistant channel.
Fix: Deleted corrupted session, switched back to kimi-k2.5:cloud (was temporarily on qwen3-coder-next:cloud).
Result: Session now clean at ~63K tokens.
Workspace Context Architecture - CREATED
New file: workspace-context.md — daily session state that persists between channels.
Structure:
- Current Conversation — active project right now
- In Progress — unfinished projects
- Planning — ideas discussed but not started
- Finished Today — done projects waiting for MEMORY.md migration
- Channel History — timestamp log for continuity
Key insight: This survives session crashes, provides continuity when switching channels, and gets cleared daily with an EOD ritual.
Updated: AGENTS.md now loads workspace-context.md on every session, plus EOD consolidation ritual.
Workspace Cleanup - DONE
Problem: Root directory was cluttered with temp files and one-off scripts. Actions:
- Created
scripts/folder — moved 8 helper scripts - Created
temp/folder — archived transcript files (~600KB) - Deleted ~3MB of temp JSON dumps and session files
- Updated
TOOLS.mdwith organization scheme
Result: Root down from ~3.5MB to ~45KB of actual documents.
Decisions Made
workspace-context.mdis temporary state — gets cleared daily, survives session crashes- End-of-day ritual: migrate "Finished" → MEMORY.md, clear file for tomorrow
- Folder structure:
scripts/for helpers,temp/for downloads/transcripts
