Run a local agent that reports daily on your blog stats
A developer built a free local agent that checks their latest 10 DEV articles daily; after it misremembered an undecided idea as "not yet," they removed its ability to save memories.
Done with Custom agentllama3.2
What they did
A developer built a companion agent that runs on their Mac with a free local model. It chats in a terminal and checks their latest 10 DEV articles. A daily scheduled job compares the stats with the last check and writes a report. After the model saved a twisted version of their words, they took away its memory-writing tool.
How it went
The author says the model turned "I have not decided" into "not yet" despite clear rules. Now only typed commands save memories, and code writes the report. The first unattended daily run worked once.
Worth knowing
In an early version, the model invented what a new comment said when only the comment count had been fetched. Have code report only facts that were actually retrieved.
Try it yourself
Set up a small agent on my computer that, every morning at [time], checks my latest [number] posts on [blog platform] and compares likes and comment counts with yesterday. Write a short report listing only what actually changed, and say plainly when something (like comment text) was not fetched. Do not guess. Only save notes to memory when I type a command like /remember. Show me the plan and the schedule before installing anything.
Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
