    "Check AgResource newsletter"
"Summarize today's grain report"
"Show full newsletter" (detailed view)

    To run scraper manually: 

    cd /home/brianppetty/clawd/skills/agresource
    Morning newsletter (default)
    
node scraper.js
node scraper.js --type=morning
    Noon/midday newsletter
    
node scraper.js --type=noon
    Evening newsletter
    
node scraper.js --type=evening
    Saturday newsletter
    
node scraper.js --type=saturday
    Sunday newsletter
    
node scraper.js --type=sunday

    Cron Job Triggers

    When a cron event fires, match the time/type to the correct --type parameter:

    | Cron Message | Type to Use | Time | |--------------|-------------|------| | "Check AgResource newsletter (morning)" | --type=morning | 8:30 AM ET (Mon-Fri) | | "Check AgResource newsletter (afternoon)" | --type=noon | 1:30 PM ET (Mon-Fri) | | "Check AgResource newsletter (evening - positioning)" | --type=evening | 7:00 PM ET (Mon-Sat) | | "Check AgResource newsletter (weekend)" | --type=saturday or --type=sunday | ~3:00 PM ET (Sat/Sun) |

    For weekend jobs, determine which day it is and use:

  • Saturday: --type=saturday
  • Sunday: --type=sunday

    • Sentiment Queries

    "What's the current market sentiment?"
"Show sentiment trends"
"What's the sentiment history?"

    Sentiment Dimensions (PRICE-IMPACT FOCUSED)

    CRITICAL: Sentiment analysis tracks PRICE IMPACT, not general "good/bad" news.

    Key inverse relationships to remember:

  • β˜€οΈ Favorable weather in SA/NA = More supply = BEARISH for prices
  • 🌽 Record yields = More supply = BEARISH for prices
  • 🏜️ Drought/crop stress = Less supply = BULLISH for prices
  • 🏭 Strong export demand = More demand = BULLISH for prices
  • πŸ“¦ South American competition = Less US exports = BEARISH for prices

    • Track these dimensions across newsletters:

  • market_mood: bullish | bearish | neutral
    • - BULLISH = Prices expected to go UP - BEARISH = Prices expected to go DOWN
  • weather_impact: positive_for_crops | negative_for_crops | mixed | neutral
    • - Tracks weather impact on PRODUCTION (inverted for price impact) - Positive weather for crops = BEARISH for prices (more supply) - Negative weather for crops = BULLISH for prices (less supply)
  • production_outlook: optimistic | cautious | uncertain
    • - Optimistic = more supply = BEARISH for prices - Cautious = supply concerns = BULLISH for prices
  • trend_direction: improving | declining | stable
  • confidence: high | medium | low

    • Sales Advice Detection

    Status phrases to detect:

  • "New sales advice detected" (buy/sell/recommend keywords)
  • "Catch up sales recommended" (catch up phrase)
  • "No sales recommended at this time" (hold/no action)
  • "Position status unchanged" (no change from previous)

    • Keywords for sales advice:

  • buy, sell, hold, recommend, recommendation, position, catch up, current positioning

    • Telegram Alert Format

    Brief summary sent for every newsletter: 

    🌾 AgResource - 2026-01-08 8:30 AM
    Summary: No sales recommended
Sentiment: Bullish (↗️ improving)
    Full details in ~/clawd/memory/agresource/
