Quick Start
# 1. Fetch essays from a supported site
uv run scripts/fetch_blog.py --site paulgraham --output ./pg-essays
# 2. Generate cover (uses Nano Banana Pro)
# See nano-banana-pro skill for cover generation
# 3. Compile to EPUB with cover

# 4. Send to Kindle
uv run scripts/send_to_kindle.py --file essays.epub --kindle-email [email protected]
Workflow (MUST follow this order)
- Fetch - Download all essays/posts from the blog
- Generate Cover - Create cover art via Nano Banana Pro skill (DO NOT SKIP)
- Compile - Combine into EPUB with cover embedded
- Send - Email to Kindle address
⚠️ Always generate and include cover before sending. Never send without cover.

Cover Generation
Use the nano-banana-pro skill to generate covers. Prompt template:
Book cover for '[Author Name]: [Subtitle]'.
Minimalist design with elegant typography.
[Brand color] accent. Clean white/cream background.
Simple geometric or abstract motif related to [topic].
Professional literary feel. No photos, no faces.
Portrait orientation book cover dimensions.
Generate at 2K resolution for good quality without huge file size.
Kindle Delivery
Default Kindle address (Simon): [email protected]
Uses Mail.app via AppleScript to send. Ensure:
- Sender email is on Kindle approved list
- File under 50MB (EPUB compresses well)
State Tracking
State files stored in ~/.clawdbot/state/blog-kindle/:
{site}-last-fetch.json- Last fetch timestamp, article count{site}-sent.json- List of sent article IDs
Use for incremental updates (only fetch new posts).
Manual Workflow (no scripts)
If scripts unavailable, follow this pattern:
- Fetch: curl archive page → parse article links → fetch each → convert to markdown
- Combine: Concatenate markdown with YAML frontmatter (title, author)
- Cover: Generate via Nano Banana Pro
- Convert:
pandoc combined.md -o output.epub --epub-cover-image=cover.png --toc - Send: AppleScript Mail.app with attachment
See references/manual-workflow.md for detailed steps.
