Mine for Context

Deep extraction from source material. Creates reference bundles, builds extraction plans, tracks what's been mined.

What Gets Mined

Session transcripts (JSONL files)
Meeting transcripts (Fathom, Otter)
Email threads
Documents, PDFs
Slack/chat exports
Any substantial text source

Extraction Targets

For each source, extract:

Decisions -- what was decided, by whom, with rationale
Tasks -- action items with owners and deadlines
People context -- new information about known people, or new people
Insights -- domain knowledge that persists across sessions
Quotes -- sharp, memorable statements worth preserving
Connections -- references to other walnuts, bundles, or projects

Process

Read the source. Full file, no skimming.
Extract per category. Group findings by type.
Present for approval. Nothing routes without the user seeing it.

Extracted from [source]:

Decisions (3):
  1. [decision] -> [[walnut]]
  2. [decision] -> [[walnut]]
  3. [decision] -> [[walnut]]

Tasks (2):
  4. [task] -> [[walnut]]
  5. [task] -> [[walnut]]

People (1):
  6. [person context] -> [[person]]

Insights (1):
  7. [insight] -> [[walnut]] insights

Approve all, or pick numbers to route?

Route approved items. Decisions -> log entries. Tasks -> tasks.py. People -> person walnuts. Insights -> insights.md.
Mark source as mined. Update bundle manifest mining: field.

Mining State

Track in bundle manifest:

mining: active -- still gathering sources
mining: paused -- temporarily stopped
mining: exhausted -- all known sources captured

Batch Mining

For multiple sources (e.g., scanning all unsaved sessions):

# Find unmined squirrel entries
find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels" -name "*.yaml" -newer "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels/.last-mined" 2>/dev/null

Process each, present aggregated results.
