Add Source

Add a new entry to feed-sources.md, enforcing the correct table format and source type.

Steps

1. Collect inputs — ask the operator for:

   • Name: short display name (e.g. "The Daily Dispatch").
   • URL: full URL to the source.
   • Category: must match one of the categories in feed-categories.md — read that file first and present the options.
   • Type (optional — infer if not provided):
     • URL contains reddit.com → reddit
     • URL contains twitter.com or x.com → x
     • URL ends in .rss, .atom, or /feed → rss
     • URL is a known WebFetch blocker (a domain that blocks server-side fetch and requires a browser) → chrome
     • Otherwise → web
   • Notes (optional): brief description of what the source covers.

2. Validate:

   • URL must start with https://.
   • Name must not already exist in feed-sources.md — read the file and check.
   • Category must match an existing category from feed-categories.md.

3. Read feed-sources.md to confirm the current table structure, then append the new row under ## Active Sources:

   | {Name} | {URL} | {Category} | {Type} | {Notes} |
   

   Align columns with the existing table width. Insert alphabetically by Name within the same category, or at the end if unsure.

4. Confirm — show the operator the new row before writing. Write only after confirmation.

5. Note in session — append to SHELL.md Progress Log: [HH:MM] Added source: {Name} ({Type}) to {Category}.

6. Mention in next brief — new source additions are mentioned automatically in the next brief (no action needed here).
