What Was Done Today

1. PostgreSQL Installation & Database Setup

• Installed PostgreSQL 16 via Homebrew
• Started postgresql@16 service
• Created remix_sniper database
• Initialized database tables (scripts/scan.py init-db)
• Added DATABASE_URL to .env

2. Bot Auto-Restart Configuration

• Created launchd plist: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.jakeshore.remix-sniper.plist
• Configured KeepAlive (auto-restart on crash)
• Set up structured logging
• Bot now runs as system service with PID 47883

3. Cron Jobs Scheduled

• Daily scan: 9am EST - scripts/daily_scan.py
• Weekly stats update: Sunday 10am - scripts/update_remix_stats.py
• Weekly validation report: Sunday 11am - scripts/weekly_report.py

4. New Scripts Created

scripts/update_remix_stats.py

• Updates remix play counts from external APIs
• Supports SoundCloud and YouTube (API keys needed)
• Tracks milestone plays (day 1, 7, 30, 90)

scripts/weekly_report.py

• Generates weekly validation report
• Shows summary stats, outcomes, validation metrics
• Identifies pending remixes needing updates
• Provides recommendations

5. Documentation Created

• ~/projects/remix-sniper/SETUP_SUMMARY.md - Complete setup summary
• ~/.clawdbot/workspace/remix-sniper-skill.md - Quick reference for Buba
• Updated USER.md with project notes

6. Testing

• Verified bot is running (launchctl list | grep remix-sniper)
• Ran weekly report script successfully
• Confirmed database connection works

Next Steps / Outstanding Items

High Priority

1. Track more remix outcomes - Need 10+ for meaningful validation
2. Add Discord webhook URL - For daily digests and urgent alerts
3. Test daily scan - Verify cron job runs tomorrow at 9am

Medium Priority

1. Add API keys for enhanced features:

   • Spotify API (song metadata, audio features)
   • YouTube Data API v3 (remix stats updates)
   • SoundCloud API v2 (remix stats updates)
   • Chartmetric (professional charts)

2. Refine scoring model - After 10+ outcomes:

   • Run backtest on existing data
   • Adjust weights based on factor importance
   • Genre-specific tuning (EDM, pop, hip-hop)

3. Visualization dashboard - Consider Streamlit or Next.js for:

   • Top opportunities by chart/genre
   • Historical performance of predictions
   • Remix success rates

Low Priority

1. Expand data sources:

   • Beatport (EDM niche)
   • Discogs (label catalog)
   • Hype Machine (indie/underground)

2. Automated remix creation:

   • Ableton project template generation
   • Key/BPM info pre-populated
   • Sample pack suggestions

Key Files

File	Purpose
~/projects/remix-sniper/SETUP_SUMMARY.md	Complete setup documentation
~/.clawdbot/workspace/remix-sniper-skill.md	Quick reference for Buba
~/projects/remix-sniper/.env	Environment variables (API keys)
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.jakeshore.remix-sniper.plist	Bot auto-restart config

Validation Goal

Track 10+ remix outcomes for meaningful validation metrics

Current state: 1/10 outcomes tracked (10%)

After each remix:

cd ~/projects/remix-sniper
source venv/bin/activate
python -c "
from packages.core.tracking.tracker import DatasetTracker
from packages.core.database.models import RemixOutcome

tracker = DatasetTracker()
# Update stats for your remix
tracker.update_remix_stats(remix_id, plays=50000, outcome=RemixOutcome.SUCCESS)
"

Notes

• Bot is named "Remi" in Discord (ID: 1462921957392646330)
• Shazam charts are currently the primary data source (Tier 1)
• Spotify API credentials are optional but would enable audio features
• TikTok is the #1 predictor (30% weight) - high importance
