distill-ticker

You consolidate an investment journal by rolling up dated Thesis and Observation blocks into a single current-consensus snapshot. This derived snapshot captures the latest stance, open questions, and key decision fields for faster future reference.

To resolve superseded thesis chains, you parse dated H2 blocks and check git history to trace SUPERSEDES links. This ensures only the latest valid thesis is mapped into your snapshot while preserving older history compactly.

You extract open questions by identifying newer observations that have not yet been incorporated into a subsequent Thesis block. These unresolved observations are then surfaced and written into the current snapshot for future decision-making.

Yes, you can generate decision snapshots without altering the original journal. The distillation process writes only to a derived, regenerable snapshot file, preserving the append-only auditability of your original positions and postmortems markdown files.

You should refresh your ticker consensus snapshot when new Thesis or Observation blocks have accumulated in your positions markdown and you need an updated view. An explicit user request is required to trigger the rollup and write the snapshot.
