Research Digest

Fetch and parse paper abstracts

• Use web_extract on each promising result to get the full abstract and metadata
• Extract: title, authors, institution, date, abstract, link
• Focus on papers that are directly relevant — filter out tangential results

Select top 5 papers

• Rank by relevance to the user's stated interests
• Prefer papers with strong empirical results or novel methodology
• Include at least 1 paper that might be a "surprising finding" outside the user's usual scope

Synthesize the digest

• For each paper: 2-sentence summary + 2–3 bullet points of key contributions
• Write in plain language, avoiding unnecessary jargon
• Note any papers that directly build on or contradict the user's current projects (check MEMORY.md)

Deliver via Telegram

• Format for readability in Telegram (use bold headers, line breaks)
• Send as: "Research Digest — Week of [date]" followed by numbered entries
• Include arXiv links for each paper
• End with: "Reply to discuss any of these papers or ask for a deeper dive"

Update memory

• Save the digest summary (titles + key points only, not full text) to MEMORY.md under "Recent digests"
• This enables future sessions to reference what was covered
