Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

If these two languages require a large share of the 22K total, it will be very challenging.\n\n---\n\n## Collection Plan\n\n### Phase One: Inventory of Existing Datasets (Fastest, Zero Cost)\n\nFirst, exhaust existing academic datasets:\n\n**Public Datasets:**\n- **Mozilla Common Voice** — Has Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh, but the quantity is not large (tens to hundreds of hours)\n- **OpenSLR** — Has Tibetan ASR datasets (openslr.org/73), Mongolian (openslr.org/34)\n- **AISHELL** series — Partially covers minority languages\n- **CMU Wilderness** — Covers various minority languages, sourced from Bible recordings\n- **VoxLingua107** — Contains snippets of various minority languages\n- **Fleurs (Google)** — Covers Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **300-1000 hours**, but with relatively good quality.\n\n---\n\n### Phase Two: Broadcast Media Scraping (Main Source)\n\nThis is the primary source for the 22K hours. Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

If these two languages require a large share of the 22K total, it will be very challenging.\n\n---\n\n## Collection Plan\n\n### Phase One: Inventory of Existing Datasets (Fastest, Zero Cost)\n\nFirst, exhaust existing academic datasets:\n\n**Public Datasets:**\n- **Mozilla Common Voice** — Has Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh, but the quantity is not large (tens to hundreds of hours)\n- **OpenSLR** — Has Tibetan ASR datasets (openslr.org/73), Mongolian (openslr.org/34)\n- **AISHELL** series — Partially covers minority languages\n- **CMU Wilderness** — Covers various minority languages, sourced from Bible recordings\n- **VoxLingua107** — Contains snippets of various minority languages\n- **Fleurs (Google)** — Covers Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **300-1000 hours**, but with relatively good quality.\n\n---\n\n### Phase Two: Broadcast Media Scraping (Main Source)\n\nThis is the primary source for the 22K hours. Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

If these two languages require a large share of the 22K total, it will be very challenging.\n\n---\n\n## Collection Plan\n\n### Phase One: Inventory of Existing Datasets (Fastest, Zero Cost)\n\nFirst, exhaust existing academic datasets:\n\n**Public Datasets:**\n- **Mozilla Common Voice** — Has Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh, but the quantity is not large (tens to hundreds of hours)\n- **OpenSLR** — Has Tibetan ASR datasets (openslr.org/73), Mongolian (openslr.org/34)\n- **AISHELL** series — Partially covers minority languages\n- **CMU Wilderness** — Covers various minority languages, sourced from Bible recordings\n- **VoxLingua107** — Contains snippets of various minority languages\n- **Fleurs (Google)** — Covers Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **300-1000 hours**, but with relatively good quality.\n\n---\n\n### Phase Two: Broadcast Media Scraping (Main Source)\n\nThis is the primary source for the 22K hours. Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

If these two languages require a large share of the 22K total, it will be very challenging.\n\n---\n\n## Collection Plan\n\n### Phase One: Inventory of Existing Datasets (Fastest, Zero Cost)\n\nFirst, exhaust existing academic datasets:\n\n**Public Datasets:**\n- **Mozilla Common Voice** — Has Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh, but the quantity is not large (tens to hundreds of hours)\n- **OpenSLR** — Has Tibetan ASR datasets (openslr.org/73), Mongolian (openslr.org/34)\n- **AISHELL** series — Partially covers minority languages\n- **CMU Wilderness** — Covers various minority languages, sourced from Bible recordings\n- **VoxLingua107** — Contains snippets of various minority languages\n- **Fleurs (Google)** — Covers Uyghur, Tibetan, Mongolian, Kazakh, Uzbek\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **300-1000 hours**, but with relatively good quality.\n\n---\n\n### Phase Two: Broadcast Media Scraping (Main Source)\n\nThis is the primary source for the 22K hours. Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5.

Major international broadcasters have years of audio archives:\n\n**Uyghur:**\n- VOA Uyghur (voanews.com/uyghur) — Archived for nearly 20 years\n- RFA Uyghur (rfa.org/uyghur) — Extensive archives\n- BBC Uyghur\n\n**Tibetan:**\n- VOA Tibetan\n- RFA Tibetan\n- Voice of Tibet (vot.org)\n- Various Tibetan Buddhist teaching recordings (Lotsawa House, etc.)\n\n**Mongolian:**\n- MNB Mongolian National Broadcaster — Largest source\n- VOA Mongolian\n- Large amount of Mongolian content on YouTube\n\n**Kazakh:**\n- Kazakhstani public radio/TV\n- Qazaq Radio archives\n- TRT Kazakh (Turkish International)\n\n**Tatar:**\n- Tatar Radio (Republic of Tatarstan, tatarstan.ru)\n- TRT Tatar\n- YouTube Tatar content (limited quantity)\n\n**Uzbek:**\n- O'zbekiston Radio Uzbekistan National Broadcaster\n- VOA Uzbek\n- BBC Uzbek\n- YouTube Uzbek content (very rich)\n\n**Technical Tools:**\n```\nyt-dlp      # Batch download from YouTube (including subtitles)\nwget/curl   # Scrape RSS/archives from broadcast websites\nffmpeg      # Audio extraction, format conversion\n```\n\nThis phase is expected to yield **15-20K hours** (primarily supported by the volume from Mongolian/Kazakh/Uzbek)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Three: Data Cleaning and Quality Control\n\nRaw scraped audio quality varies, so the following must be done:\n\n```\n1. VAD (Voice Activity Detection)   # Remove silent segments, using silero-vad / webrtcvad\n2. Language filtering               # Prevent scraping incorrect languages, using langid or Whisper lid\n3. Audio quality scoring            # SNR, DNSMOS to filter low-quality recordings\n4. Segment into 3-30s clips         # Length suitable for model training\n5. Deduplication                    # minhash / audio fingerprinting\n```\n\nIf **transcription** is needed (essential for training ASR models):\n- Use **Whisper large-v3** for automatic transcription\n- Follow with manual spot-checking and verification (at least 5-10%)\n\n---\n\n### Phase Four: Crowdsourcing Supplement (for Gaps)\n\nIf Tibetan/Tatar cannot reach the target volume, consider:\n- **Toloka / MTurk / Scale AI** — Post recording tasks\n- Contact relevant communities and universities (Lanzhou University, Xinjiang University, Inner Mongolia University, etc., which have relevant language departments)\n- Collaborate with native speaker podcasters/streamers for authorization\n\n---\n\n## Key Questions for Your Confirmation\n\nBefore officially starting, here are a few questions that will influence the direction of the plan:\n\n1. **Do you need transcription?** Audio only vs. audio with aligned text annotations, the cost difference is huge\n2. **Is 22K hours the total volume or 22K for each language?** (I assume it's the total, but please confirm)\n3. **Copyright/authorization requirements?** Commercial dataset vs. academic/internal use, this affects which sources can be used\n4. **Are there minimum duration requirements for each language?** Or is it just about the total volume\n5. **Audio quality standards?** Broadcast quality vs. near-field recording vs. telephone quality\n\n---\n\n## My Overall Assessment\n\nThe total of 22K hours **is achievable**, mainly relying on Mongolian + Kazakh + Uzbek to provide volume (these three languages combined might yield 15K+), Uyghur around 5K, and Tibetan + Tatar combined reaching 3-4K at most.\n\n**Biggest risk**: If there are minimum allocation requirements for each language, Tibetan and Tatar could be hard bottlenecks, requiring crowdsourced supplementary recordings.\n\nWould you like me to first search for the actual volume of existing datasets to provide a more precise inventory assessment?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T11:29:02.299101+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: No additional processing is needed.

Now, you can directly use the `job name` to pause/resume/remove, which is much more convenient.\n\n**HuggingFace Skills Hub Default Trusted Source**\n`huggingface/skills` has become the official default skills tap, making it easier to install community skills.\n\n**Goals Token Limit Increase**\nThe `max_tokens` for the `/goal` evaluation model has increased from 200 → 4096, leading to more accurate evaluation results.\n\n**Web UI Multilingual Expansion**\nAll gateway commands and the web dashboard are now i18n-enabled, with 8 new languages added (totaling 16).\n\n---\n\n## Important Fixes\n\n| Fix Item | Description |\n|--------|------|\n| `fix(langfuse)` | Complete observability fix, fully supplementing trace I/O, tool output, and placeholder credentials |\n| `fix(session)` | Gateway no longer loses automatically reset state after restart |\n| `fix(cli)` | Fixed scrollbar duplicate rendering + light mode visibility issues |\n| `fix(gateway)` | Fixed rate limit identification for string-form 429 response bodies |\n| `fix(mcp)` | Environment variable regex pre-compilation, unified interpolation logic |\n| `fix(url-safety)` | URLs now only allow http/https, patching vulnerabilities from other protocols |\n| `fix(providers)` | Added User-Agent when fetching model lists, resolving issues where some sources rejected requests |\n\n---\n\n## Other\n\n- **Alibaba Cloud renamed to Qwen Cloud**, and the sorting in the provider list has been adjusted.\n- **Removed Atropos RL environment** (tinker-atropos integration deprecated).\n- **ACP Registry switched to uvx distribution**, removing the npm launcher.\n- **Security: Dependency version upper bound control**, 5 loose dependencies now have upper limits.\n\n---\n\nThe changes that might affect you most are the **Goals token increase** (for more accurate evaluations) and **session state persistence after gateway restarts**.

[[{"role": "user", "content": "User: Review the conversation above and update two things:\n\n**Memory**: who the user is. Did the user reveal persona, desires, preferences, personal details, or expectations about how you should behave? Save facts about the user and durable preferences with the memory tool.\n\n**Skills**: how to do this class of task. Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the skill library: CLASS-LEVEL skills with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries.\n\nSignals that warrant a skill update (any one is enough):\n  • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, verbosity, or approach. Frustration is a FIRST-CLASS skill signal, not just a memory signal. 'stop doing X', 'don't format like this', 'I hate when you Y' — embed the lesson in the skill that governs that task so the next session starts fixed.\n  • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, or debugging path emerged.\n  • A skill that was loaded or consulted turned out wrong, missing, or outdated — patch it now.\n\nPreference order for skills — pick the earliest that fits:\n  1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Check what skills were loaded via /skill-name or skill_view in the conversation. If one of them covers the learning, PATCH it first. It was in play; it's the right place.\n  2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (skills_list + skill_view to find the right one). Patch it.\n  3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella via skill_manage action=write_file. Three kinds: `references/<topic>.md` for session-specific detail OR condensed knowledge banks (quoted research, API docs excerpts, domain notes) written concise and task-focused; `templates/<name>.<ext>` for starter files meant to be copied and modified; `scripts/<name>.<ext>` for statically re-runnable actions (verification, fixture generators, probes). Add a one-line pointer in SKILL.md so future agents find them.\n  4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA when nothing exists. Name at the class level — NOT a PR number, error string, codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y' session artifact. If the name only fits today's task, fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding: when the user complains about how you handled a task, update the skill that governs that task — memory alone isn't enough. Memory says 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills say 'how to do this class of task for this user'. Both should carry user-preference lessons when relevant.\n\nIf you notice overlapping existing skills, mention it — the background curator handles consolidation.\n\nDo NOT capture as skills (these become persistent self-imposed constraints that bite you later when the environment changes):\n  • Environment-dependent failures: missing binaries, fresh-install errors, post-migration path mismatches, 'command not found', unconfigured credentials, uninstalled packages. The user can fix these — they are not durable rules.\n  • Negative claims about tools or features ('browser tools do not work', 'X tool is broken', 'cannot use Y from execute_code'). These harden into refusals the agent cites against itself for months after the actual problem was fixed.\n  • Session-specific transient errors that resolved before the conversation ended. If retrying worked, the lesson is the retry pattern, not the original failure.\n  • One-off task narratives. A user asking 'summarize today's market' or 'analyze this PR' is not a class of work that warrants a skill.\n\nIf a tool failed because of setup state, capture the FIX (install command, config step, env var to set) under an existing setup or troubleshooting skill — never 'this tool does not work' as a standalone constraint.\n\nAct on whichever of the two dimensions has real signal. If genuinely nothing stands out on either, say 'Nothing to save.' and stop — but don't reach for that conclusion as a default.\n\nYou can only call memory and skill management tools.

Modify each Profile's config.yaml\n\nProfile configuration files are located at `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/config.yaml`, and the official recommendation is to only modify two fields:\n\n```yaml\ntoolsets: [\"kanban\", \"terminal\", \"file\"]   # Tailor by role\nskills:\n  always_load: [\"kanban-worker\"]            # Skills always loaded\n```\n\n**Note**: The official documentation explicitly states—`approvals.mode` and `terminal.cwd` **should not be changed**.\n\n---\n\n### 3. Write SOUL.md for each Profile (Optional but Recommended)\n\nWrite role definitions in `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md`.\n\n**The Orchestrator's SOUL.md is the most crucial**, and the official recommendation specifically emphasizes adding an anti-temptation rule:\n\n> \"Do not execute the work yourself. For every concrete task, create a kanban task and assign it.\"\n\nThis prevents the Orchestrator from being tempted to do the work itself instead of breaking down and assigning tasks.\n\n---\n\n## For Your Scenario\n\n```bash\n# Create three Profiles\nhermes profile create researcher  --clone\nhermes profile create coder       --clone\nhermes profile create orchestrator --clone\n```\n\nThen, add a simple SOUL.md to the orchestrator to prevent it from overstepping its bounds, and limiting the coder's toolset should be sufficient.\n\nWould you like me to run it for you now?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T17:53:13.106571+00:00"}]]

Its value lies in tasks surviving across sessions, being able to be taken over by agents with different Profiles, and progress visualization. But triggering it requires explicit intent — which Profile to use, whether to persist, whether to monitor with a Dashboard — these decisions currently all depend on the user.\n\n**Theoretically, intelligent routing could be implemented**, and the judgment criteria are actually quite clear:\n- Number of subtasks ≥ 3 and mutually independent\n- Estimated time > 30 minutes\n- Requires continuous execution across sessions\n- Or the user says \"please arrange this for me\"\n\nBut currently Hermes does not have this judgment logic built-in, and the official documentation has not mentioned any similar auto-dispatch plans.\n\nSo the practical advice at this stage is: **when a task is complex, and you yourself feel \"this isn't something that can be handled with a single command,\" then proactively say to use Kanban** — for combinations like today's research + verification + script writing, next time, just say \"run with Kanban.\"", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T17:44:13.109634+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: Does the dashboard agent need to be configured in advance?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T17:45:44.739875+00:00"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Assistant: Yes, it needs to be configured in advance, and this is the most critical prerequisite step for enabling Kanban.\n\n---\n\n## Things that need to be configured in advance\n\n**1. Profile (Mandatory)**\n\nEach \"execution role\" needs to correspond to a Profile:\n\n```bash\nhermes profiles create researcher --model claude-sonnet-4\nhermes profiles create coder --model claude-sonnet-4\nhermes profiles create writer --model claude-sonnet-4\n```\n\nThe Profile determines who runs the task, which model to use, and whether there's a specific system prompt.\n\n**2.

Here's a summary for you:\n\n---\n\n## Official Recommended Profile Creation Method\n\nFrom the official `kanban-video-orchestrator`'s `kanban-setup.md`, the three core points are:\n\n### 1. Create Profiles using `--clone`\n\n```bash\nhermes profile create researcher --clone 2>/dev/null || true\nhermes profile create coder      --clone 2>/dev/null || true\nhermes profile create orchestrator --clone 2>/dev/null || true\n```\n\n`--clone` copies the base settings of the current Profile, and `|| true` ensures that running it multiple times won't cause errors (idempotence).\n\n---\n\n### 2. Modify each Profile's config.yaml\n\nProfile configuration files are located at `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/config.yaml`, and the official recommendation is to only modify two fields:\n\n```yaml\ntoolsets: [\"kanban\", \"terminal\", \"file\"]   # Tailor by role\nskills:\n  always_load: [\"kanban-worker\"]            # Skills always loaded\n```\n\n**Note**: The official documentation explicitly states—`approvals.mode` and `terminal.cwd` **should not be changed**.\n\n---\n\n### 3. Write SOUL.md for each Profile (Optional but Recommended)\n\nWrite role definitions in `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md`.\n\n**The Orchestrator's SOUL.md is the most crucial**, and the official recommendation specifically emphasizes adding an anti-temptation rule:\n\n> \"Do not execute the work yourself.

[[{"role": "user", "content": "User: Review the conversation above and update the skill library. Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n  • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n  • User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n  • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n  • A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order — prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n  1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded via /skill-name or you read via skill_view. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n  2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (via skills_list + skill_view). If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n  3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files — use the right directory per kind:\n     • `references/<topic>.md` — session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n     • `templates/<name>.<ext>` — starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can `reproduce with modifications`).\n     • `scripts/<name>.<ext>` — statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n     Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n  4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong — fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply — the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\nDo NOT capture (these become persistent self-imposed constraints that bite you later when the environment changes):\n  • Environment-dependent failures: missing binaries, fresh-install errors, post-migration path mismatches, 'command not found', unconfigured credentials, uninstalled packages. The user can fix these — they are not durable rules.\n  • Negative claims about tools or features ('browser tools do not work', 'X tool is broken', 'cannot use Y from execute_code'). These harden into refusals the agent cites against itself for months after the actual problem was fixed.\n  • Session-specific transient errors that resolved before the conversation ended. If retrying worked, the lesson is the retry pattern, not the original failure.\n  • One-off task narratives. A user asking 'summarize today's market' or 'analyze this PR' is not a class of work that warrants a skill.\n\nIf a tool failed because of setup state, capture the FIX (install command, config step, env var to set) under an existing setup or troubleshooting skill — never 'this tool does not work' as a standalone constraint.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default. If the session ran smoothly with no corrections and produced no new technique, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop. Otherwise, act.\n\nYou can only call memory and skill management tools.

Modify each Profile's config.yaml\n\nProfile configuration files are located at `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/config.yaml`, and the official recommendation is to only modify two fields:\n\n```yaml\ntoolsets: [\"kanban\", \"terminal\", \"file\"]   # Tailor by role\nskills:\n  always_load: [\"kanban-worker\"]            # Skills always loaded\n```\n\n**Note**: The official documentation explicitly states—`approvals.mode` and `terminal.cwd` **should not be changed**.\n\n---\n\n### 3. Write SOUL.md for each Profile (Optional but Recommended)\n\nWrite role definitions in `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/SOUL.md`.\n\n**The Orchestrator's SOUL.md is the most crucial**, and the official recommendation specifically emphasizes adding an anti-temptation rule:\n\n> \"Do not execute the work yourself. For every concrete task, create a kanban task and assign it.\"\n\nThis prevents the Orchestrator from being tempted to do the work itself instead of breaking down and assigning tasks.\n\n---\n\n## For Your Scenario\n\n```bash\n# Create three Profiles\nhermes profile create researcher  --clone\nhermes profile create coder       --clone\nhermes profile create orchestrator --clone\n```\n\nThen, add a simple SOUL.md to the orchestrator to prevent it from overstepping its bounds, and limiting the coder's toolset should be sufficient.\n\nWould you like me to run it for you now?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T17:53:13.106571+00:00"}], [{"role": "user", "content": "User: Are you planning to use these agents you created to handle all Kanban tasks, or will you switch agents for each batch of tasks?", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T17:55:55.161729+00:00"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Assistant: Both modes are used, but the official recommendation is to **create them by project type and reuse them long-term**, not to switch to a new set for each batch of tasks.\n\n---\n\n## The Official Approach\n\nA Profile is essentially a **role definition**, not part of a task. Once roles like `researcher`, `coder`, and `orchestrator` are established, all subsequent similar tasks will reuse them—just like job positions in a company, you don't re-hire people just because you switch projects.\n\n**Task isolation relies on `--tenant` and `--board`, not on switching Agents:**\n\n```bash\n# Today's collection task\nhermes kanban create \"Research Mongolian broadcast sources\" --assignee researcher --tenant voice-dataset\n\n# Another project next week\nhermes kanmes kanban create \"Analyze competitor store data\" --assignee researcher --tenant meituan-scrape\n```\n\nThe same `researcher` Profile, distinguished by `--tenant` for different projects, will not interfere with each other.\n\n---\n\n## When to Create a New Profile\n\nOnly create new ones when the role itself requires **different capabilities/toolsets/styles**:\n\n| Scenario | Approach |\n|------|------|\n| General research vs. research requiring browser operation | Create two Profiles, with different toolsets |\n| General coder vs. coder specializing in Python web scraping | Can create a dedicated Profile, add specific skills |\n| Video project requires a cinematographer role | Create a dedicated role based on the project |\n\n---\n\n## For You\n\nThese three general Profiles will be sufficient for you long-term:\n- `researcher` — Search, research, verify\n- `coder` — Write scripts, run commands\n- `orchestrator` — Receive natural language, break down tasks\n\nIn the future, whether it's collection tasks, competitor monitoring, or other projects, these three will do the work, and you can use `--tenant` to distinguish between projects.

[[{"role": "user", "content": "User: Review the conversation above and update the skill library. Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n  • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n  • User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n  • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n  • A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order — prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n  1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded via /skill-name or you read via skill_view. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n  2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (via skills_list + skill_view). If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n  3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files — use the right directory per kind:\n     • `references/<topic>.md` — session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n     • `templates/<name>.<ext>` — starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can `reproduce with modifications`).\n     • `scripts/<name>.<ext>` — statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n     Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n  4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong — fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply — the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\nDo NOT capture (these become persistent self-imposed constraints that bite you later when the environment changes):\n  • Environment-dependent failures: missing binaries, fresh-install errors, post-migration path mismatches, 'command not found', unconfigured credentials, uninstalled packages. The user can fix these — they are not durable rules.\n  • Negative claims about tools or features ('browser tools do not work', 'X tool is broken', 'cannot use Y from execute_code'). These harden into refusals the agent cites against itself for months after the actual problem was fixed.\n  • Session-specific transient errors that resolved before the conversation ended. If retrying worked, the lesson is the retry pattern, not the original failure.\n  • One-off task narratives. A user asking 'summarize today's market' or 'analyze this PR' is not a class of work that warrants a skill.\n\nIf a tool failed because of setup state, capture the FIX (install command, config step, env var to set) under an existing setup or troubleshooting skill — never 'this tool does not work' as a standalone constraint.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default. If the session ran smoothly with no corrections and produced no new technique, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop. Otherwise, act.\n\nYou can only call memory and skill management tools. Other tools will be denied at runtime — do not attempt them.", "timestamp": "2026-05-15T18:23:19.150898+00:00"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Assistant: Done.
