## How It Works

### 1. Daily Automated Scanning

**Cron Job:** Runs daily at 6:00 AM UTC

```typescript
// convex/crons.ts
crons.daily(
  "scan industry updates",
  { hourUTC: 6, minuteUTC: 0 },
  internal.domains.monitoring.industryUpdates.scanIndustryUpdates,
  {}
);
```

**Process:**
1. Fetch content from industry sources
2. Check for relevant keywords
3. Use LLM to analyze relevance (0-100 score)
4. Extract actionable insights
5. Generate implementation suggestions
6. Store findings in database

### 2. Database Storage

**Table:** `industryUpdates`

```typescript
{
  provider: "anthropic",
  providerName: "Anthropic",
  url: "https://docs.anthropic.com/...",
  title: "New Prompt Caching Features",
  summary: "Anthropic announces extended cache TTL...",
  relevance: 85,
  actionableInsights: [
    "Extended cache TTL reduces costs by 15%",
    "New cache warming API available",
    "Support for 10MB context windows"
  ],
  implementationSuggestions: [
    "Update promptCaching.ts to support extended TTL",
    "Add cache warming to swarm initialization"
  ],
  status: "new", // new | reviewed | implemented
  scannedAt: 1737532800000,
}
```

### 3. UI Dashboard

**Component:** `IndustryUpdatesPanel.tsx`

**Features:**
- Filter by provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, LangChain, Vercel)
- Relevance scoring (High/Medium/Low)
- Expandable cards with insights and suggestions
- Mark as reviewed/implemented
- Summary stats by provider

**Integration:**
```typescript
import { IndustryUpdatesPanel } from "@/components/IndustryUpdatesPanel";

// Add to your app
<IndustryUpdatesPanel />
```

---

## Using the Monitoring System

### Check for Relevant Updates

**In Your Code:**

```typescript
import { internal } from "../_generated/api";

// Check for updates relevant to your module
const updates = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.monitoring.integrationHelpers.checkRelevantUpdates,
  {
    module: "swarm_orchestrator",
    keywords: ["multi-agent", "orchestration", "checkpointing"],
    minRelevance: 70, // Optional: default 70
  }
);

if (updates.matchCount > 0) {
  console.log(`Found ${updates.matchCount} relevant updates`);
  updates.suggestions.forEach((s) => {
    console.log(`- ${s.title} (${s.relevance}% relevance)`);
  });
}
```

### Generate Domain Reports

**Before Major Releases:**

```typescript
const report = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.monitoring.integrationHelpers.generateDomainReport,
  {
    domain: "agents",
    keywords: ["multi-agent", "orchestration", "swarm"],
  }
);

console.log(`Domain: ${report.domain}`);
console.log(`Status: ${report.status}`);
console.log(`Total updates: ${report.totalUpdates}`);
console.log(`High priority: ${report.highPriority}`);
```

### Pre-Deployment Checks

**Automated Workflow:**

```typescript
const check = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.monitoring.integrationHelpers.preDeploymentCheck,
  {
    modules: [
      "swarm_orchestrator",
      "observability",
      "checkpointing",
      "batch_api",
      "reasoning",
      "caching",
    ],
  }
);

console.log(`Modules checked: ${check.modulesChecked}`);
console.log(`Total updates: ${check.totalUpdates}`);
console.log(`High priority: ${check.highPriority}`);
console.log(`Recommendation: ${check.recommendation}`);
```

---

## Integration in Codebase

### Monitoring Tags

Add monitoring tags to key files to document what industry updates are relevant:

```typescript
/**
 * Enhanced Swarm Orchestrator
 *
 * INDUSTRY_MONITOR: swarm_orchestrator
 * Keywords: ["multi-agent", "orchestration", "swarm", "parallel execution"]
 * Auto-scans: Anthropic, OpenAI, LangChain for relevant updates
 * Last check: Daily via cron (6 AM UTC)
 */
export const executeSwarmWithObservability = internalAction({
  // ... implementation
});
```

### Files with Monitoring Tags

1. **swarmOrchestratorEnhanced.ts** - Multi-agent orchestration
2. **promptCaching.ts** - Prompt caching patterns
3. **checkpointing.ts** - State management (future)
4. **batchAPI.ts** - Batch processing (future)
5. **telemetry.ts** - Observability (future)

## Query the System

### Get Recent Findings

```typescript
import { api } from "../_generated/api";

const findings = useQuery(api.domains.monitoring.industryUpdates.getRecentFindings, {
  limit: 50,
  status: "new", // Optional: filter by status
});
```

### Get Implementation Suggestions

```typescript
const suggestions = useQuery(
  api.domains.monitoring.industryUpdates.getImplementationSuggestions
);

// Results:
{
  totalNew: 12,
  byProvider: {
    "Anthropic": [...],
    "OpenAI": [...],
    // ...
  },
  topSuggestions: [
    {
      id: "...",
      provider: "Anthropic",
      title: "Extended Thinking API",
      summary: "...",
      relevance: 92,
      actionableInsights: [...],
      implementationSuggestions: [...],
    },
    // ...
  ]
}
```

---

## Manual Trigger

**Run Scan Manually:**

```bash
npx convex run domains/monitoring/industryUpdates:scanIndustryUpdates
```

**Check Specific Module:**

```bash
npx convex run domains/monitoring/integrationHelpers:checkRelevantUpdates \
  --module "swarm_orchestrator" \
  --keywords '["multi-agent", "orchestration"]' \
  --minRelevance 70
```

## Cost Analysis

### Estimated Costs

**Daily Scan:**
- 5 providers × 3 sources = 15 fetches
- 10 findings × LLM analysis = 10 API calls
- Cost: ~$0.01-0.02/day
- Monthly: **~$0.30-0.60**

**ROI:**
- Identifies cost-saving opportunities (e.g., prompt caching = 90% savings)
- Prevents technical debt from missing industry updates
- Typical ROI: **100x-1000x** (one major optimization pays for years of monitoring)

---

---

## Monitoring Best Practices

### 1. Regular Review

- Review new findings daily (5-10 min)
- Don't let backlog grow beyond 50 items
- Mark as reviewed to keep list clean

### 2. Prioritization

**High Priority (Implement ASAP):**
- Relevance 85+
- Cost savings opportunities
- Security/reliability improvements

**Medium Priority (Sprint Backlog):**
- Relevance 70-84
- Developer experience enhancements
- Performance optimizations

**Low Priority (Monitor):**
- Relevance < 70
- Experimental features

### 3. Implementation Tracking

- Mark findings as "implemented" when integrated
- Document what was learned in PR/commit
- Update monitoring tags to reflect current state

### 4. Feedback Loop

- If a finding leads to major improvement, note it
- Share success stories with team
- Refine keywords based on relevance

---

## Troubleshooting

### No Findings Returned

**Possible causes:**
1. No new updates in past 24h (normal)
2. Keywords too narrow
3. Minimum relevance too high

**Solution:**
- Lower minRelevance threshold
- Broaden keywords
- Check manual trigger results

### Too Many Low-Relevance Findings

**Solution:**
- Increase minRelevance threshold
- Refine keywords to be more specific
- Update LLM analysis prompt in analyzeUpdate

### Duplicate Findings

**Solution:**
- Add deduplication logic in scanIndustryUpdates
- Check URLs against existing findings
- Implement similarity matching

---

## Future Enhancements

### Planned Features

1. **Semantic Deduplication** - Use embeddings to detect similar updates
2. **Automatic Integration PRs** - Generate code changes automatically
3. **Slack/Discord Notifications** - Alert team of high-priority updates
4. **Trend Analysis** - Identify emerging patterns across providers
5. **Custom Sources** - Add company-specific sources (e.g., internal docs)

### Extensibility

**Add New Provider:**

```typescript
// In industryUpdates.ts
const INDUSTRY_SOURCES = [
  // ... existing providers
  {
    provider: "custom",
    name: "Custom Provider",
    sources: ["https://example.com/docs"],
    keywords: ["relevant", "keywords"],
  },
];
```
