## Commands

### Manual Trigger
```
"Check AgResource newsletter"
"Summarize today's grain report"
"Show full newsletter" (detailed view)
```

**To run scraper manually:**
```bash
cd /home/brianppetty/clawd/skills/agresource

# Morning newsletter (default)
node scraper.js
node scraper.js --type=morning

# Noon/midday newsletter
node scraper.js --type=noon

# Evening newsletter
node scraper.js --type=evening

# Saturday newsletter
node scraper.js --type=saturday

# Sunday newsletter
node scraper.js --type=sunday
```

### Cron Job Triggers

When a cron event fires, match the time/type to the correct `--type` parameter:

| Cron Message | Type to Use | Time |
|--------------|-------------|------|
| "Check AgResource newsletter (morning)" | `--type=morning` | 8:30 AM ET (Mon-Fri) |
| "Check AgResource newsletter (afternoon)" | `--type=noon` | 1:30 PM ET (Mon-Fri) |
| "Check AgResource newsletter (evening - positioning)" | `--type=evening` | 7:00 PM ET (Mon-Sat) |
| "Check AgResource newsletter (weekend)" | `--type=saturday` or `--type=sunday` | ~3:00 PM ET (Sat/Sun) |

**For weekend jobs**, determine which day it is and use:
- Saturday: `--type=saturday`
- Sunday: `--type=sunday`

### Sentiment Queries
```
"What's the current market sentiment?"
"Show sentiment trends"
"What's the sentiment history?"
```

## Sentiment Dimensions (PRICE-IMPACT FOCUSED)

**CRITICAL:** Sentiment analysis tracks PRICE IMPACT, not general "good/bad" news.

**Key inverse relationships to remember:**
- ☀️ Favorable weather in SA/NA = More supply = **BEARISH for prices**
- 🌽 Record yields = More supply = **BEARISH for prices**
- 🏜️ Drought/crop stress = Less supply = **BULLISH for prices**
- 🏭 Strong export demand = More demand = **BULLISH for prices**
- 📦 South American competition = Less US exports = **BEARISH for prices**

Track these dimensions across newsletters:
- **market_mood**: bullish | bearish | neutral
  - BULLISH = Prices expected to go UP
  - BEARISH = Prices expected to go DOWN
- **weather_impact**: positive_for_crops | negative_for_crops | mixed | neutral
  - Tracks weather impact on PRODUCTION (inverted for price impact)
  - Positive weather for crops = BEARISH for prices (more supply)
  - Negative weather for crops = BULLISH for prices (less supply)
- **production_outlook**: optimistic | cautious | uncertain
  - Optimistic = more supply = BEARISH for prices
  - Cautious = supply concerns = BULLISH for prices
- **trend_direction**: improving | declining | stable
- **confidence**: high | medium | low

## Sales Advice Detection

**Status phrases to detect:**
- "New sales advice detected" (buy/sell/recommend keywords)
- "Catch up sales recommended" (catch up phrase)
- "No sales recommended at this time" (hold/no action)
- "Position status unchanged" (no change from previous)

**Keywords for sales advice:**
- buy, sell, hold, recommend, recommendation, position, catch up, current positioning

## Telegram Alert Format

Brief summary sent for every newsletter:
```
