signals-engine 0.3.0

Python collect CLI for signal-oriented collection lanes

Signals Engine

Python collect CLI for signal-oriented collection lanes.

Install

pip install signals-engine
signals-engine --help
python3.11 -m signals_engine.cli --help

Usage

signals-engine collect --lane x-feed --date 2026-04-06
signals-engine diagnose --lane x-feed
signals-engine collect --lane reddit-watch --date 2026-04-11 --config ~/.signal-engine/config/lanes.yaml

X auth setup

x-feed and x-following now prefer browser-session auth. Start a dedicated Chrome profile with CDP enabled, log into X once in that profile, then point the lane config at the running browser session.

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome \
  --remote-debugging-port=9222 \
  --user-data-dir=$HOME/.signal-engine/chrome-profile

lanes:
  x-feed:
    source:
      auth:
        mode: browser-session
        cdp_url: http://127.0.0.1:9222
        target_url: https://x.com
      limit: 100
      timeout_seconds: 30

  x-following:
    source:
      auth:
        mode: browser-session
        cdp_url: http://127.0.0.1:9222
      limit: 200
      timeout_seconds: 30

Legacy cookie-file auth is still supported when explicitly selected:

lanes:
  x-feed:
    source:
      auth:
        mode: cookie-file
        cookie_file: ~/.signal-engine/x-cookies.json

In browser-session mode, Signal Engine does not export or manage X session cookies. It connects to the live Chrome session over CDP, extracts ct0 from the page context, and performs GraphQL requests inside the browser with credentials: 'include'.

Supported lanes

• x-feed
• x-following
• github-watch
• claude-code-watch
• openclaw-watch
• codex-watch
• reddit-watch
• github-trending-weekly
• product-hunt-watch
• polymarket-watch

Example reddit-watch config

reddit-watch is scoped to AI coding / agent workflow discussions. It is not intended to pull generic Reddit news or broad tech chatter.

lanes:
  reddit-watch:
    enabled: true
    queries:
      - Claude Code workflows
      - Codex agent
      - OpenClaw
      - AI coding agents
    lookback_days: 30
    max_threads: 5
    max_per_query: 3
    subreddits:
      - ClaudeAI
      - LocalLLaMA
      - PromptEngineering
      - artificial

Example polymarket-watch config

polymarket-watch is a Polymarket-backed prediction-market lane scoped to market expectation / probability signals around AI model race, coding AI, benchmarks, and company expectations. It is not a workflow-detail or full-text research lane.

lanes:
  polymarket-watch:
    source:
      max_pages: 2
      timeout: 15
    max_per_query: 3
    queries:
      - topic: model-race
        query: best AI model
      - topic: coding-ai
        query: coding AI
      - topic: benchmark
        query: AI benchmark
      - topic: company-expectation
        query: OpenAI Anthropic Google

v1 scope

• collect-only runtime
• signal markdown / index / state outputs
• thin run.json manifest
• first migration target: x-feed
