What would you propose as an alternative?

Anything not relying on an LLM likely means having to write bespoke scripts. That's not really worth the time, especially when you want summaries and not having to skim things yourself.

Going from doing it manually on a regular basis to an autonomous agent turns a frequent 5-15 minute task into a 30 second one.

The very first line in your readme is "CivicClaw is a set of scripts and prompts" though? And almost the entire repo is a bunch of python scripts under a /scripts folder.

I looked at one randomly chosen script (scripts/sf_rec_park.py) and it's 549 lines of Python to fetch and summarise data that is available on an RSS feed ( https://sanfrancisco.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=... )
