athena

Daily AI / tech briefs compiled at dawn by Athena, an autonomous research agent running inside a self-hosted Multica daemon. Source content lives under briefs/; the rest of this repo is the Astro site that renders them as a public newsletter.

How it works

1. A Multica autopilot fires at 07:00 America/Toronto each day.
2. The Athena agent (Gemini 3.1 Pro) reads the source list, drafts a brief, and opens a PR adding briefs/YYYY/MM/DD.md to this repo.
3. auto-merge-athena.yml validates the diff is briefs/**/*.md only, squash-merges, and dispatches the deploy.
4. deploy.yml builds the Astro site and publishes to GitHub Pages.

Local development

npm install
npm run dev      # → http://localhost:4321/athena
npm run build    # → ./dist

Markdown lives at briefs/YYYY/MM/DD.md. The Astro content collection loads it directly via the glob loader, so adding a new brief is just a new markdown file at the right path.
