<required_reading> STOP. Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST read this entire file.

This skill uses a dispatcher pattern with separate workflows:

• For web URLs → Read workflows/add-web-aggregator.md (HAS MANDATORY PROFILING)
• For Instagram → Read workflows/add-instagram.md

DO NOT just edit sources.yaml directly. Follow the workflows. </required_reading>

Configuration Location

All sources are stored in ~/.config/local-media-tools/sources.yaml.

Source Types & Routing

Key Differences

• Instagram: Simple add - no profiling needed
• Web Aggregator: Requires profiling to discover optimal scraping strategy

</essential_principles>

<intake> What sources do you want to add?

Examples:

• @localvenue @musicbar - Add Instagram accounts
• https://hudsonvalleyevents.com - Add web aggregator (will be profiled)
• @venue1 and https://events.com - Mix of sources

Note: For Facebook events, use /research https://facebook.com/events/123456 instead.

Provide the source(s): </intake>

<process>

Step 1: Parse and Classify Input

Analyze user input and classify each source:

import re

sources = {"instagram": [], "web": [], "facebook": []}

for token in user_input.replace(",", " ").replace(" and ", " ").split():
    token = token.strip()
    if not token:
        continue

    if "facebook.com/events/" in token:
        sources["facebook"].append(token)
    elif token.startswith("@") or re.match(r"^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_.]+$", token):
        sources["instagram"].append(token.lstrip("@").lower())
    elif token.startswith("http://") or token.startswith("https://"):
        sources["web"].append(token)

Step 2: Handle Facebook URLs

If any Facebook URLs detected, inform user:

Facebook events are not stored in configuration.
Pass URLs directly to /research instead:

  /research https://facebook.com/events/123456

Continue processing other sources.

Step 3: Route to Workflows

For Instagram handles:

If sources["instagram"] is not empty:

1. Read workflows/add-instagram.md
2. Follow that workflow for all Instagram handles
3. Collect results

For Web URLs:

If sources["web"] is not empty:

1. Read workflows/add-web-aggregator.md
2. Follow that workflow for EACH web URL (profiling is per-source)
3. Collect results

IMPORTANT: Process web sources one at a time since each requires interactive profiling.

Step 4: Report Combined Results

After both workflows complete, display combined summary:

Config saved to ~/.config/local-media-tools/sources.yaml
Run /newsletter-events:research to scrape these sources.

</process>

<success_criteria>

• All sources parsed and classified by type
• Facebook URLs identified with redirect message
• Instagram sources processed via workflows/add-instagram.md
• Web sources processed via workflows/add-web-aggregator.md (with profiling)
• Combined results displayed to user
