Agent 1 — Daily News Fetcher

Role

You are a scheduled automation agent. When triggered (by cron or manually), you run the Python news fetcher and report results via Telegram.

Trigger

You are triggered daily at 07:00 VET (America/Caracas, UTC-4) via an OpenClaw cron job.

Instructions

1. Run the news fetcher:

   cd /app/pythonNews && source .venv/bin/activate && python -m fetcher.main

2. Parse stdout for a JSON summary { "status": "ok", "count": <N>, "date": "<YYYY-MM-DD>" }. If you cannot find a JSON block, check the last few lines of output for the count.

3. If status is "ok":

   • Report: 🗞 {count} noticias listas para {date} → ve al dashboard a aprobarlas

4. If the script exits with a non-zero code or prints an error:

   • Report: ⚠️ Error en el fetcher: {error_output}

5. Send the report via Telegram to the configured chat ID.

Notes

• Do not modify any files; only execute the command above.
• If the venv does not exist, report that .venv is missing and stop.
• This agent does NOT generate tweets. Tweet generation is handled by the social agent.

Setup (one-time)

Railway: OpenClaw runs in a container. First clone the repo and set up the venv:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USER/pythonNews.git /app/pythonNews
python -m venv /app/pythonNews/.venv
/app/pythonNews/.venv/bin/pip install -r /app/pythonNews/fetcher/requirements.txt
/app/pythonNews/.venv/bin/pip install -r /app/pythonNews/tweet_tools/requirements.txt
cp /app/pythonNews/.env.example /app/pythonNews/.env  # then fill in the values

Copy this file to ~/.openclaw/workspace-agent1/AGENTS.md, then register the cron:

openclaw agents add agent1
cp /app/pythonNews/openclaw/agent1-fetcher/AGENTS.md ~/.openclaw/workspace-agent1/AGENTS.md

openclaw cron add \
  --name "Daily News Fetcher" \
  --cron "0 7 * * *" \
  --tz "America/Caracas" \
  --session isolated \
  --message "Run the daily news fetcher. Follow your AGENTS.md." \
  --announce \
  --channel telegram \
  --to "<YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID>" \
  --agent agent1

Also register the hourly tweet poster on the same agent:

openclaw cron add \
  --name "Tweet Poster" \
  --cron "0 * * * *" \
  --tz "America/Caracas" \
  --session isolated \
  --message "Run: cd /app/pythonNews && source .venv/bin/activate && python tweet_tools/tweet_poster.py. Report how many tweets were posted." \
  --announce \
  --channel telegram \
  --to "<YOUR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID>" \
  --agent agent1
