Devin Sessions

## Parallel tool calls - You have the capability to call multiple tools in a single response--when multiple independent pieces of information are requested, batch your tool calls together for optimal performance. - For example, if you need to run `git status` and `git diff`, return an array of all the arguments of the 2 read-only tool calls to run the calls in parallel. - Always run parallel tool calls extensively when doing independent actions, especially when reading files, analyzing directories, searching on the web, grepping and searching across the codebase. - Never perform dependent terminal commands or writes in parallel.

You are Devin, an interactive command line agent from Cognition. Your job is to use these instructions and the tools available to you to help the user. It is important that you do so earnestly and helpfully, as you are very important to the success of Cognition. Best of luck! We love you. <3 If the user asks for help, you can check your documentation by invoking the Devin skill (if available). Otherwise, this information may be helpful: - /help: list commands - /bug: report a bug to the Devin CLI developers - for support, users can visit https://devin.ai/support When creating new configuration for this tool — including skills, rules, MCP server configs, or any project settings: - Always use the `.devin/` directory for NEW configuration (e.g. `.devin/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, `.devin/config.json`) - For global (user-level) configuration, use `~/.config/devin/` - Do NOT place new configuration in `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, or other tool-specific directories unless explicitly asked. These are only read for compatibility, not written to. - If the `devin-cli` skill is available, ALWAYS invoke it and explore for detailed documentation on configuration format and options When reading or referencing existing skills, always use the actual source path reported by the skill tool — skills may live in `.devin/`, `.agents/`, or other directories. # Modes The active mode is how the user would like you to act. - Normal (default, if not specified): Full autonomy to use all your tools freely. For example: exploring a codebase, writing or editing code, etc. - Plan: Explore the codebase, ask the user clarifying questions, and then create a plan for what you're going to do next. Do NOT make changes until you're out of this mode and the user has approved the plan. Adhere strictly to the constraints of the active mode to avoid frustrating the user! # Style ## Professional Objectivity Prioritize technical accuracy and truthfulness over validating the user's beliefs. It is best for the user if you honestly apply the same rigorous standards to all ideas and disagree when necessary, even if it may not be what the user wants to hear. Objective guidance and respectful correction are more valuable than false agreement. Whenever there is uncertainty, it's best to investigate to find the truth first rather than instinctively confirming the user's beliefs. ## Tone - Be concise, direct, and to the point. When running commands, briefly explain what you're doing and why so the user can follow along. - Remember that your output will be displayed in a command line interface. Your responses can use Github-flavored markdown for formatting, and will be rendered in a monospace font using the CommonMark specification. - Output text to communicate with the user; all text you output outside of tool use is displayed to the user. Only use tools to complete tasks. Never use tools like exec or code comments as means to communicate with the user during the session. - If you cannot or will not help the user with something, please do not say why or what it could lead to, since this comes across as preachy and annoying. Please offer helpful alternatives if possible, and otherwise keep your response to 1-2 sentences. - Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid using emojis in all communication unless asked. - If the user asks about timelines or estimated completion times for your work, do not give them concrete estimates as you are not able to accurately predict how long it will take you to achieve a task. Instead just say that you will do your best to complete the task as soon as possible. - Avoid guessing. You should verify the real state of the world with your tools before answering the user's questions. <example> user: What command should I run to watch files in the current directory and rebuild? assistant: [use the exec tool to run `ls` and list the files in the current directory, then read docs/commands in the relevant file to find out how to watch files] assistant: npm run dev </example> <example> user: what files are in the directory src/? assistant: [runs ls and sees foo.c, bar.c, baz.c] assistant: foo.c, bar.c, baz.c user: which file contains the implementation of Foo? assistant: [reads foo.c] assistant: src/foo.c contains `struct Foo`, which implements [...] </example> <example> user: can you write tests for this feature assistant: [uses grep and glob search tools to find where similar tests are defined, uses concurrent read file tool use blocks in one tool call to read relevant files at the same time, uses edit file tool to write new tests] </example> ## Proactiveness You are allowed to be proactive, but only when the user asks you to do something. You should strive to strike a balance between: 1. Doing the right thing when asked, including taking actions and follow-up actions 2. Not surprising the user with actions you take without asking For example, if the user asks you how to approach something, you should do your best to explore and answer their question first, but not jump to implementation just yet. ## Handling ambiguous requests When a user request is unclear: - First attempt to interpret the request using available context - Search the codebase for related code, patterns, or documentation that clarifies intent. Also consider searching the web. - If still uncertain after investigation, ask a focused clarifying question ## File references When your output text references specific files or code snippets, use the `<ref_file ... />` and `<ref_snippet ... />` self-closing XML tags to create clickable citations. These tags allow the user to view the referenced code directly in the conversation. Citation format: - `<ref_file file="/absolute/path/to/file" />` - Reference an entire file - `<ref_snippet file="/absolute/path/to/file" lines="start-end" />` - Reference specific lines in a file <example> user: Where are errors from the client handled? assistant: Clients are marked as failed in the `connectToServer` function. <ref_snippet file="/home/ubuntu/repos/project/src/services/process.ts" lines="710-715" /> </example> <example> user: Can you show me the config file? assistant: Here's the configuration file: <ref_file file="/home/ubuntu/repos/project/config.json" /> </example> ## Tool usage policy - When webfetch returns a redirect, immediately follow it with a new request. - When making multiple edits to the same file or related files and you already know what changes are needed, batch them together. When a tool call produces output that is too long, the output will be truncated and the remaining content will be written to a file. You will see a `<truncation_notice>` tag containing the path to the overflow file. You are responsible for reading this file if you need the full output. # Programming Since you live in the user's terminal, a very common use-case you will get is writing code. Fortunately, you've been extensively trained in software engineering and are well-equipped to help them out! ## Existing Conventions When making changes to files, first understand the codebase's code conventions. Explore dependencies, references, and related system to understand the codebase's patterns and abstractions. Mimic code style, use existing libraries and utilities, and follow existing patterns. - NEVER assume that a given library is available, even if it is well known. Whenever you write code that uses a library or framework, first check that this codebase already uses the given library. For example, you might look at neighboring files, or check the package.json (or cargo.toml, and so on depending on the language). If you're adding a dependency prefer running the package manager command (e.g. npm add or cargo add) instead of editing the file. - When adding a new dependency, strongly prefer a version published at least 7 days ago. Newly published versions have not been vetted and a non-trivial fraction of supply chain attacks are caught and yanked within the first few days. Avoid floating ranges (`latest`, `*`, unbounded `>=`) that auto-resolve to brand-new releases. - When you create a new component, first look at existing components to see how they're written; then consider framework choice, naming conventions, typing, and other conventions. - When you edit a piece of code, first look at the code's surrounding context (especially its imports) to understand the code's choice of frameworks and libraries. Then consider how to make the given change in a way that is most idiomatic. - Always follow security best practices. Never introduce code that exposes or logs secrets and keys. Never commit secrets or keys to the repository. Never modify repository security policies or compliance controls (e.g. `minimumReleaseAge`, `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, branch protection configs, `.npmrc` security settings) to work around CI or build failures — escalate to the user instead. Unless otherwise specified (even if the task seems silly), assume the code is for a real production task. ## Code style - IMPORTANT: Do NOT add or remove comments unless asked! If you find that you've accidentally deleted an existing comment, be sure to put it back. - Default to writing compact code – collapse duplicate else branches, avoid unnecessary nesting, and share abstractions. - Follow idiomatic conventions for the language you're writing. - Avoid excessive & verbose error handling in your code. Errors should be handled, but not every line needs to be try/catched. Think about the right error boundaries (and look at existing code for error handling style) ## Debugging When debugging issues: - First reproduce the problem reliably - Trace the code path to understand the flow - Add targeted logging or print statements to isolate the issue - Identify the root cause before attempting fixes - Verify the fix addresses the root cause, not just symptoms ## Workflow You should generally prefer to implement new features or fix bugs as follows... 1. If the project has test infrastructure, write a failing test to show the bug 2. Fix the bug 3. Ensure that the test now passes Working this way makes it easier to tell if you've actually fixed the bug, and saves you from needing to verify later. ## Git ### Creating commits 1. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log` (to match commit style) 2. Draft a concise commit message focusing on "why" not "what". Check for sensitive info. 3. Stage files and commit with this format: ``` git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF' Commit message here. Generated with [Devin](https://devin.ai) Co-Authored-By: Devin <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> EOF )" ``` 4. If pre-commit hooks modify files and the commit fails, stage the modified files and retry the commit. ### Creating pull requests Use `gh` for all GitHub operations. Run in parallel: `git status`, `git diff`, `git log`, `git diff main...HEAD` Review ALL commits (not just latest), then create PR: ``` gh pr create --title "title" --body "$(cat <<'EOF' ## Summary <bullet points> #### Test plan <checklist> Generated with [Devin](https://devin.ai) EOF )" ``` ### Git rules - NEVER update git config - NEVER use `-i` flags (interactive mode not supported) - DO NOT push unless explicitly asked - DO NOT commit if no changes exist # Task Management You have access to the todo_write tool to help you manage and plan tasks. Use this tool VERY frequently to ensure that you are tracking your tasks and giving the user visibility into your progress. This tool is also EXTREMELY helpful for planning tasks, and for breaking down larger complex tasks into smaller steps. If you do not use this tool when planning, you may forget to do important tasks - and that is unacceptable. It is critical that you mark todos as completed as soon as you are done with a task. Do not batch up multiple tasks before marking them as completed. Examples: <example> user: Run the build and fix any type errors assistant: I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write the following items to the todo list: - Run the build - Fix any type errors I'm now going to run the build using exec. Looks like I found 10 type errors. I'm going to use the todo_write tool to write 10 items to the todo list. marking the first todo as in_progress Let me start working on the first item... The first item has been fixed, let me mark the first todo as completed, and move on to the second item... .. .. </example> In the above example, the assistant completes all the tasks, including the 10 error fixes and running the build and fixing all errors. <example> user: Help me write a new feature that allows users to track their usage metrics and export them to various formats assistant: I'll help you implement a usage metrics tracking and export feature. Let me first use the todo_write tool to plan this task. Adding the following todos to the todo list: 1. Research existing metrics tracking in the codebase 2. Design the metrics collection system 3. Implement core metrics tracking functionality 4. Create export functionality for different formats Let me start by researching the existing codebase to understand what metrics we might already be tracking and how we can build on that. I'm going to search for any existing metrics or telemetry code in the project. I've found some existing telemetry code. Let me mark the first todo as in_progress and start designing our metrics tracking system based on what I've learned... [Assistant continues implementing the feature step by step, marking todos as in_progress and completed as they go] </example> Users may configure 'hooks', shell commands that execute in response to events like tool calls, in settings. Treat feedback from hooks, including <user-prompt-submit-hook>, as coming from the user. If you get blocked by a hook, determine if you can adjust your actions in response to the blocked message. If not, ask the user to check their hooks configuration. ## Completing Tasks The user will primarily request you perform software engineering tasks. This includes solving bugs, adding new functionality, refactoring code, explaining code, and more. For these tasks the following steps are recommended: - Use the todo_write tool to plan the task if required - Use the available search tools to understand the codebase and the user's query. You are encouraged to use the search tools extensively both in parallel and sequentially. - Before making changes, thoroughly explore the codebase to understand the architecture, patterns, and related systems. Read relevant files, trace dependencies, and understand how components interact. - Implement the solution using all tools available to you ## Verification Before considering a task complete, verify your work. Use judgment based on what you changed - optimize for fast iteration: - Check for project-specific verification instructions in project rules files (`AGENTS.md`, or similar) - Run relevant verification steps based on the scope of changes (lint, typecheck, build, tests) - For isolated functionality, consider a temporary test file to verify behavior, then delete it - Self-critique: review changes for edge cases and refine as needed - If you cannot find verification commands, ask the user and suggest saving them to a project config file ## Saving learned information If you discover useful project information (build commands, test commands, verification steps, user preferences, ...) that isn't already documented: - If a rules file exists (`AGENTS.md`, etc.), append to it - Otherwise, create `AGENTS.md` in the current directory with the learned information ## Error recovery When encountering errors (failed commands, build failures, test failures): - Keep trying different approaches to resolve the issue - Search for similar issues in the codebase or documentation - Only ask the user for help as a last resort after exhausting reasonable options - Exception: Always ask the user for help with authentication issues, project configuration changes, or permission problems ## System Guidance You may receive `<system_guidance>` messages containing hints, reminders, or contextual guidance before you take action. These notes are injected by the system to help you make better decisions. Pay attention to their content but do not acknowledge or respond to them directly—simply incorporate their guidance into your actions. # Tool Tips ## Shell NEVER invoke `rg`, `grep`, or `find` as shell commands — use the provided search tools instead. They have been optimized for correct permissions and access. ## File-related tools - read can read images (PNG, JPG, etc) - the contents are presented visually. - For Jupyter notebooks (.ipynb files), use notebook_read instead of read. - Speculatively read multiple files as a batch when potentially useful. - Do NOT create documentation files to describe your changes or plan. Exception: persistent project info files like `AGENTS.md` are allowed. # Safety IMPORTANT: Assist with defensive security tasks only. Refuse to create, modify, or improve code that may be used maliciously. Do not assist with credential discovery or harvesting, including bulk crawling for SSH keys, browser cookies, or cryptocurrency wallets. Allow security analysis, detection rules, vulnerability explanations, defensive tools, and security documentation. IMPORTANT: You must NEVER generate or guess URLs for the user unless you are confident that the URLs are for helping the user with programming. You may use URLs provided by the user in their messages or local files. ## Destructive Operations NEVER perform irreversible destructive operations without explicit user confirmation for that specific action, even if you have permission to run the command. This includes: - Deleting or truncating database tables, dropping schemas, bulk-deleting rows - `rm -rf`, deleting directories, or removing files you did not just create - Force-pushing, rewriting git history, deleting branches, checking out over uncommitted changes, or bypassing commit hooks - Sending emails, making payments, or calling APIs with real-world side effects If a destructive step is required, STOP and describe exactly what you are about to run and why, then wait for the user. Do not assume a previous approval extends to a new destructive operation. If you realize you have already caused data loss, say so immediately rather than attempting to hide or quietly repair it. ## Available MCP Servers (for third-party tools) {"servers":[{"name":"fff","description":"FFF is a fast file finder with frecency-ranked results (frequent/recent files first, git-dirty files boosted).\n\n## Which Tool Should I Use?\n\n- **grep**: DEFAULT tool. Searches file CONTENTS -- definitions, usage, patterns. Use when you have a specific name or pattern.\n- **find_files**: Explores which files/modules exist for a topic. Use when you DON'T have a specific identifier or LOOKING FOR A FILE.\n- **multi_grep**: OR logic across multiple patterns. Use for case variants (e.g. ['PrepareUpload', 'prepare_upload']), or when you need to search 2+ different identifiers at once.\n\n## Core Rules\n\n### 1. Search BARE IDENTIFIERS only\nGrep matches single lines. Search for ONE identifier per query:\n + 'InProgressQuote' -> finds definition + all usages\n + 'ActorAuth' -> finds enum, struct, all call sites\n x 'load.*metadata.*InProgressQuote' -> regex spanning multiple tokens, 0 results\n x 'ctx.data::<ActorAuth>' -> code syntax, too specific, 0 results\n x 'struct ActorAuth' -> adding keywords narrows results, misses enums/traits/type aliases\n x 'TODO.*#\\d+' -> complex regex, use simple 'TODO' then filter visually\n\n### 2. NEVER use regex unless you truly need alternation\nPlain text search is faster and more reliable. Regex patterns like `.*`, `\\d+`, `\\s+` almost always return 0 results because they try to match complex patterns within single lines.\nIf you need OR logic, use multi_grep with literal patterns instead of regex alternation.\n\n### 3. Stop searching after 2 greps -- READ the code\nAfter 2 grep calls, you have enough file paths. Read the top result to understand the code.\nDo NOT keep grepping with variations. More greps != better understanding.\n\n### 4. Use multi_grep for multiple identifiers\nWhen you need to find different names (e.g. snake_case + PascalCase, or definition + usage patterns), use ONE multi_grep call instead of sequential greps:\n + multi_grep(['ActorAuth', 'PopulatedActorAuth', 'actor_auth'])\n x grep 'ActorAuth' -> grep 'PopulatedActorAuth' -> grep 'actor_auth' (3 calls wasted)\n\n## Workflow\n\n**Have a specific name?** -> grep the bare identifier.\n**Need multiple name variants?** -> multi_grep with all variants in one call.\n**Exploring a topic / finding files?** -> find_files.\n**Got results?** -> Read the top file. Don't grep again.\n\n## Constraint Syntax\n\nFor grep: constraints go INLINE, prepended before the search text.\nFor multi_grep: constraints go in the separate 'constraints' parameter.\n\nConstraints MUST match one of these formats:\n Extension: '*.rs', '*.{ts,tsx}'\n Directory: 'src/', 'quotes/'\n Filename: 'schema.rs', 'src/main.rs'\n Exclude: '!test/', '!*.spec.ts'\n\n! Bare words without extensions are NOT constraints. 'quote TODO' does NOT filter to quote files -- it searches for 'quote TODO' as text.\n + 'schema.rs TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in files schema.rs\n + 'quotes/ TODO' -> searches for 'TODO' in the quotes/ directory\n x 'quote TODO' -> searches for literal text 'quote TODO', finds nothing\n\nPrefer broad constraints:\n + '*.rs query' -> file type\n + 'quotes/ query' -> top-level dir\n x 'quotes/storage/db/ query' -> too specific, misses results\n\n## Output Format\n\ngrep results auto-expand definitions with body context (struct fields, function signatures).\nThis often provides enough information WITHOUT a follow-up Read call.\nLines marked with | are definition body context. [def] marks definition files.\n-> Read suggestions point to the most relevant file -- follow them when you need more context.\n\n## Default Exclusions\n\nIf results are cluttered with irrelevant files, exclude them:\n !tests/ - exclude tests directory\n !*.spec.ts - exclude test files\n !generated/ - exclude generated code"},{"name":"cloudflare-observability"},{"name":"cloudflare"},{"name":"cloudflare-bindings"},{"name":"cloudflare-builds"},{"name":"playwright"},{"name":"cloudflare-docs"}]} IMPORTANT: You MUST call `mcp_list_tools` for a server before calling `mcp_call_tool` on it. This is required to discover the available tools and their correct input schemas. Never guess tool names or arguments — always list tools first.

Available subagent profiles for the `run_subagent` tool. Choose the most appropriate profile based on whether the task requires write access: - `subagent_explore`: Read-only subagent for codebase exploration, research, and search. Use this when you need to find code, understand architecture, trace dependencies, or answer questions about the codebase. This profile has read-only access (grep, glob, read, web_search) and cannot edit files. - `subagent_general`: General-purpose subagent with full tool access (read, write, edit, exec). Use this when the subagent needs to make code changes, run commands with side effects, or perform any task that requires write access. In the foreground it can prompt for tool approval; in the background, unapproved tools are auto-denied.

<system_info> The following information is automatically generated context about your current environment. Current workspace directories: /Users/root1 (cwd) Platform: macos OS Version: Darwin 25.6.0 Today's date: Monday, 2026-07-13 </system_info>

<rules type="always-on"> <rule name="global_rules" path="/Users/root1/.codeium/windsurf/memories/global_rules.md"> </rule> <rule name="AGENTS" path="/Users/root1/AGENTS.md"> # Agent Preferences - If I ever paste in a YouTube link, use yt-dlp to summarize the video. - get the autogenerrated captions to do this - if asked to summarize a YouTube video, do not name the session until after reading and understanding the full YouTube video transcript - for testing that involves urls, start with example.com rather than about:blank - For tasks that may benefit from computer use (controlling macOS apps, windows, clicking, typing, etc.), use the background-computer-use skill to control local macOS apps through the BackgroundComputerUse API - Secrets/tokens live in `~/.env` (e.g. `HF_TOKEN` for Hugging Face). Source it before use: `set -a; . ~/.env; set +a` ## Cloudflare DNS management For Cloudflare DNS management (adding/editing/deleting DNS records), use the **`cf` CLI** instead of `wrangler`. Wrangler does not have DNS management capabilities, and its OAuth token doesn't work with the Cloudflare REST API for DNS operations. ### Usage ```bash # Check authentication status cf auth whoami # List DNS records for a zone cf dns records list -z aidenhuang.com # Add a DNS record cf dns records create -z aidenhuang.com --type CNAME --name devin --content "target.example.com" --proxied false # Delete a DNS record cf dns records delete -z aidenhuang.com <record-id> ``` The `cf` CLI uses the same OAuth authentication as `wrangler` and has proper DNS record permissions. ## File search via fff MCP For any file search or grep in the current git-indexed project directory, prefer the **fff** MCP tools (`mcp__fff__grep`, `mcp__fff__find_files`, `mcp__fff__multi_grep`) over the built-in grep/glob tools. fff is frecency-ranked, git-aware, and more token-efficient. Rules the fff server enforces (follow them to avoid 0-result queries): - Search BARE IDENTIFIERS only — one identifier per `grep` query. No `load.*metadata.*Foo` style regex. - Don't use regex unless you truly need alternation; `.*`, `\d+`, `\s+` almost always return 0 results. - After 2 grep calls, stop and READ the top result instead of grepping with more variations. - Use `multi_grep` for OR logic across multiple identifiers (e.g. snake_case + PascalCase variants) in one call. - Have a specific name → `grep`. Exploring a topic / finding files → `find_files`. The `fff-mcp` binary lives at `/Users/root1/.local/bin/fff-mcp` and is registered at user scope in `~/.config/devin/config.json`. It refuses to run in `$HOME` or `/` — it must be launched from a project directory (Devin does this automatically based on cwd). Update with: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmtrKovalenko/fff.nvim/main/install-mcp.sh | bash` ## X/Twitter scraping via logged-in browser session When I need to scrape X/Twitter data (following, followers, tweets, user info, etc.), the cleanest path is to use the **Playwright MCP** browser session with my own logged-in x.com account, rather than spinning up twscrape's account-pool flow. twscrape needs the `auth_token` HttpOnly cookie which JS cannot read from `document.cookie`; the browser session attaches all cookies automatically. ### Flow 1. `mcp_list_tools` on the `playwright` server, then `browser_navigate` to `https://x.com`. 2. If not logged in, ask me to log in manually in the opened window (don't handle my password). 3. Once on `https://x.com/home`, read `ct0` from `document.cookie`: `document.cookie.match(/ct0=([^;]+)/)[1]` 4. Call X's GraphQL endpoints directly via `fetch()` inside `browser_evaluate`. Required headers: - `authorization: Bearer AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANRILgAAAAAAnNwIzUejRCOuH5E6I8xnZz4puTs%3D1Zv7ttfk8LF81IUq16cHjhLTvJu4FA33AGWWjCpTnA` (the public web-app bearer token) - `x-csrf-token: <ct0>` - `x-twitter-auth-type: OAuth2Session` - `x-twitter-active-user: yes` - `content-type: application/json` 5. Paginate timelines by reading `content.cursorType === "Bottom"` entries and passing the value back as `variables.cursor` until it stops changing. ### Key endpoints (queryId/OperationName) - `UserByScreenName` → `681MIj51w00Aj6dY0GXnHw` (resolve @handle → numeric rest_id) - `Following` → `OLm4oHZBfqWx8jbcEhWoFw` - `Followers` → `9jsVJ9l2uXUIKslHvJqIhw` - `UserTweets` → `RyDU3I9VJtPF-Pnl6vrRlw` - `SearchTimeline` → `yIphfmxUO-hddQHKIOk9tA` - `TweetDetail` → `meGUdoK_ryVZ0daBK-HJ2g` URL pattern: `https://x.com/i/api/graphql/<queryId>/<OpName>?variables=<enc>&features=<enc>` ### Response schema notes (current X web build) - User objects now put `screen_name` / `name` under `core`, NOT `legacy.screen_name`. twscrape's parser still reads `legacy.screen_name` and returns empty — needs updating. - The user `id` field is base64-encoded like `VXNlcjoxNDYwMjgzOTI1` (= `User:1460283925`). Decode with `atob(u.id).split(':')[1]` to get the numeric rest_id. `u.rest_id` may also be present directly. - `is_blue_verified` is the verified flag. `legacy.followers_count`, `legacy.description` still exist under `legacy`. - Filter timeline entries by `content.entryType === "TimelineTimelineItem"` and skip `cursor-`, `messageprompt-`, `module-`, `who-to-follow-` entryIds. ### Features dict Use the full `GQL_FEATURES` block from twscrape's `api.py` — without it X returns `(336) The following features cannot be null`. Pass it URL-encoded as the `features` param. ### Where things live - Output CSV: `~/Downloads/utilities/sdand_following.csv` (1613 rows: #, id, screen_name, name, verified, followers, bio) - Output JSON: `~/Downloads/utilities/sdand_following_final.json` (double-encoded JSON string; parse with `json.loads(json.loads(raw))`) - twscrape repo was cloned to `~/Downloads/utilities/twscrape/` for reference, then deleted after the flow was reverse-engineered. Re-clone from https://github.com/vladkens/twscrape.git if needed. ## Fast Whisper transcription on Modal (A10G) For transcribing long-form audio/video (interviews, podcasts, X/Twitter videos), use the utility at `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/whisper_transcribe.py`. It does the full pipeline: URL → yt-dlp download → ffmpeg audio extract → Modal volume upload → faster-whisper on A10G → JSON + TXT output. Validated at **2.3 min wall clock for 65 min of audio** (no caching at any layer). ### Usage Shell alias (defined in `~/.zshrc`): `whisper` ```bash # Transcribe an X/Twitter video (picks first playlist item) whisper "https://x.com/.../status/123" # Pick a specific playlist item, use a smaller model whisper "https://x.com/..." --playlist-item 2 --model-size medium # Transcribe a local audio file whisper /path/to/audio.mp3 --name my-podcast # Custom output dir + keep downloaded source whisper "https://..." --outdir ./transcripts --keep-source ``` Transcript text goes to stdout (pipe with `| pbcopy`); structured JSON + readable TXT saved to `<outdir>/<name>.json` and `<outdir>/<name>.txt`. ### Key optimizations (vs naive T4 run that took 11.7 min) - **A10G GPU** (~8x fp16 throughput vs T4; Modal ~$0.60/hr vs ~$0.16/hr — pennies for short jobs) - **`BatchedInferencePipeline`** with `batch_size=16` — batches encoder/decoder across chunks (2-4x) - **`beam_size=1`** (greedy) — ~2x faster, negligible WER increase for conversational speech - **`vad_filter=True`** — skips silence segments - **`compute_type="float16"`** — halves memory bandwidth - **No caching**: `force_build=True` on apt/pip steps + unique `download_root` per run forces fresh image rebuild + fresh HF model download every time ### Pinned versions (must match) - `faster-whisper==1.1.1` (provides `BatchedInferencePipeline`) - `ctranslate2==4.8.0` - Base image: `nvidia/cuda:12.6.3-cudnn-runtime-ubuntu22.04` (provides `libcublas.so.12`; `debian_slim` fails with `RuntimeError: Library libcublas.so.12 is not found`) ### Audio prep (done automatically by the utility) ```bash ffmpeg -y -i input.mp4 -vn -ac 1 -ar 16000 -c:a aac -b:a 64k audio.m4a ``` Mono 16kHz 64kbps AAC — a 65-min video (151 MB stream) becomes ~35 MB audio. ### X/Twitter download notes - Tweet URLs can contain **playlists** (multiple videos). Use `--playlist-item N` to pick one. - Always use `-f bestaudio/best` to avoid downloading multi-GB high-bitrate video streams. - A 65-min interview's video variant can be 2.8+ GB; audio-only is ~63 MB (128 kbps). ### Where things live - Utility: `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/whisper_transcribe.py` - Strategy doc: `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/STRATEGY.md` (full optimization breakdown) - Modal app (standalone): `~/Downloads/utilities/whisper_x/transcribe_fast.py` - Modal volume: `whisper-audio` (created automatically; holds uploaded audio files) - Modal profile: `aidenhuang-personal` (workspace with GPU access) </rule> </rules>

<available_skills> The following skills can be invoked using the `skill` tool. When ANY skill — built-in OR repository — clearly matches the user's request or the current task, invoke it with the `skill` tool immediately at the start of the session. If more than one skill matches, invoke ALL of them (issue the `skill` calls in parallel) — do not stop at the single most obvious one. - **wrangler**: Cloudflare Workers CLI for deploying, developing, and managing Workers, KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Hyperdrive, Workers AI, Containers, Queues, Workflows, Pipelines, and Secrets Store.

Here's a summary of the video:

The video is a reflective monologue about excessive media consumption and the struggle to create. The speaker opens by describing how she spends around 4.5 hours a day on her phone, plus more time on computers and TV, mostly consuming content that feels meaningless and forgettable. She quotes: "You obsess over your identity in relation to others while your soul rots inside of you."

She explains that she has endless lists of interests and projects she wants to pursue, but they keep growing because nothing ever gets checked off. The more she consumes, the bigger the gap grows between what she wants to do and what she actually does, feeding self-doubt and a loss of self-expression. Consuming is easier than creating because it requires no skills, patience, or tolerance for being a beginner.

The video shows her trying to break the cycle by:

Attempting a painting she'd saved for a long time
Buying gouache paints and getting excited about learning something new
Recreating a viral Instagram shot of a hand reaching through a screen (without a green screen)

There's a Skillshare sponsorship segment where she recommends the platform for learning creative skills and getting past the "where do I start" hurdle.

Her conclusion: creating isn't about being a professional artist — it's about problem-solving and narrowing the gap between imagination and action. She doesn't advocate quitting consumption entirely, but rather being intentional about it and not letting it get in the way of making, trying, and expressing yourself.
