# Post News Skill

Add news items to the dcbuilder.dev news feed. Supports two types: **announcements** (company posts with logos) and **curated links** (external content without logos).

## Quick Decision

| Scenario | Type | Use When |
|----------|------|----------|
| **Announcement** | Company post | Portfolio company content, needs logo display |
| **Curated Link** | External content | Individual posts, articles, no logo needed |

## Workflow: Add Announcement

For portfolio company posts (X posts, blog posts, etc.) with company logo.

### Step 1: Gather Information

Required fields:
- **title**: Post title/headline
- **url**: Full URL to the post
- **company**: Company name (e.g., "Lighter", "MegaETH")
- **platform**: `x`, `blog`, `discord`, `github`, or `other`
- **date**: Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD format, use today if not specified)
- **category**: Usually `x_post` for X posts, or `product`, `funding`, etc.

Optional:
- **companyLogo**: Path to logo image
- **description**: Brief summary
- **featured**: Set to `true` to spotlight

### Step 2: Resolve Company Logo

Check if company has existing logo in investments data:

```bash
grep -i "company-name" src/data/investments.ts
```

Common logo paths: `/images/investments/lighter.jpg`, `/images/investments/megaeth.png`

If no existing logo, see "Image Upload Flow" below.

### Step 3: Insert via Database

Run from project root:

```bash
bun -e "
import { db, announcements } from './src/db';

await db.insert(announcements).values({
  title: 'YOUR_TITLE',
  url: 'YOUR_URL',
  company: 'COMPANY_NAME',
  companyLogo: '/images/investments/company.jpg',
  platform: 'x',
  date: new Date('YYYY-MM-DD'),
  category: 'x_post',
}).returning().then(r => console.log('Created:', JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)));

process.exit(0);
"
```

## Workflow: Add Curated Link

For external articles, individual posts, or content not from portfolio companies.

### Step 1: Gather Information

Required fields:
- **title**: Post/article title
- **url**: Full URL
- **source**: Author name or publication (e.g., "Vitalik Buterin", "Paradigm")
- **date**: Publication date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- **category**: `x_post`, `crypto`, `ai`, `research`, etc.

### Step 2: Insert via Database

```bash
bun -e "
import { db, curatedLinks } from './src/db';

await db.insert(curatedLinks).values({
  title: 'YOUR_TITLE',
  url: 'YOUR_URL',
  source: 'SOURCE_NAME',
  date: new Date('YYYY-MM-DD'),
  category: 'x_post',
}).returning().then(r => console.log('Created:', JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)));

process.exit(0);
"
```

## Image Upload Flow

When a new image is needed (not already in investments):

### Option 1: Download and Upload

```bash
# 1. Download image
curl -L "IMAGE_URL" -o /tmp/company-logo.jpg

# 2. Upload to R2 (requires R2 env vars)
bun -e "
import { S3Client, PutObjectCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-s3';
import { createId } from '@paralleldrive/cuid2';

const r2 = new S3Client({
  region: 'auto',
  endpoint: process.env.R2_ENDPOINT?.replace(/\\/dcbuilder-images$/, ''),
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID || '',
    secretAccessKey: process.env.R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY || '',
  },
});

const buffer = await Bun.file('/tmp/company-logo.jpg').arrayBuffer();
const key = 'news/' + createId() + '.jpg';

await r2.send(new PutObjectCommand({
  Bucket: 'dcbuilder-images',
  Key: key,
  Body: Buffer.from(buffer),
  ContentType: 'image/jpeg',
  CacheControl: 'public, max-age=31536000, immutable',
}));

console.log('Uploaded:', process.env.R2_PUBLIC_URL + '/' + key);
"
```

### Option 2: Use Existing Investment Logo

Most portfolio companies already have logos. Check:
```bash
ls public/images/investments/
```

Use path format: `/images/investments/company-name.jpg`

## Categories Reference

| Value | Display | Use For |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `x_post` | X Post | Twitter/X posts |
| `crypto` | Crypto | Cryptocurrency news |
| `ai` | AI | AI/ML content |
| `infrastructure` | Infrastructure | Blockchain infra |
| `defi` | DeFi | DeFi protocols |
| `research` | Research | Papers, research |
| `product` | Product | Product launches |
| `funding` | Funding | Fundraising news |
| `general` | General | Other news |

## Verification

After adding, verify the item exists:

```bash
# For announcements
curl -s "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/news/announcements?limit=1" | jq .

# For curated links
curl -s "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/news/curated?limit=1" | jq .
```

## Common Examples

### X Post from Portfolio Company
```bash
bun -e "
import { db, announcements } from './src/db';
await db.insert(announcements).values({
  title: 'Product launch announcement',
  url: 'https://x.com/company/status/123456',
  company: 'Company',
  companyLogo: '/images/investments/company.jpg',
  platform: 'x',
  date: new Date(),
  category: 'x_post',
}).returning().then(r => console.log(JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)));
process.exit(0);
"
```

### Article from Individual
```bash
bun -e "
import { db, curatedLinks } from './src/db';
await db.insert(curatedLinks).values({
  title: 'Interesting article title',
  url: 'https://example.com/article',
  source: 'Author Name',
  date: new Date(),
  category: 'research',
}).returning().then(r => console.log(JSON.stringify(r, null, 2)));
process.exit(0);
"
```
