Discovery — Capture What's Interesting

When Joel flags something as interesting, fire it into the pipeline and keep moving.

Trigger Detection

Signal words/patterns (case-insensitive):

• "interesting", "cool", "neat", "nice", "wild", "clever"
• "check this out", "look at this", "came across", "found this"
• "bookmarking", "save this", "remember this"
• Bare URL/repo link with minimal context (1-2 words + link)
• Sharing a link then immediately moving on

When NOT to trigger: If Joel is asking for help with the thing (debugging, implementing, reviewing), that's a task — not a discovery.

Workflow

1. Fire joelclaw discover

joelclaw discover <url>
# or with context if Joel said something specific:
joelclaw discover <url> -c "what Joel said about it"

That's it. The pipeline handles investigation, titling, tagging, writing, and slogging.

2. Continue conversation

Don't wait. Joel flagged something and moved on — match that energy.

What the Pipeline Does (background, in system-bus worker)

1. Investigate — clone repos, extract articles via defuddle, read content
2. Analyze via pi — decides title, tags, relevance, writes summary in Joel's voice
3. Embed media — if source is a video (YouTube, etc.), auto-embeds <YouTubeEmbed url="..." /> in the note
4. Write — vault note to ~/Vault/Resources/discoveries/{slug}.md
5. Sync — fires discovery/captured event which syncs to joelclaw.com/cool/
6. Log — slog write --action noted --tool discovery

Video/Media Handling

When the source URL is a YouTube video (youtube.com or youtu.be):

• The discovery note gets a <YouTubeEmbed url="..." /> component right after the title
• This renders an embedded video player on the cool page at joelclaw.com
• The note body still includes analysis/summary — the embed is supplemental, not a replacement for writing about it
