/tune — Feed Relevance Thresholds

Displays and adjusts the alert and digest thresholds that control which feed entries surface in your digest.

Usage

/tune                           # Display current thresholds (read-only)
/tune --alert 0.90              # Set alert threshold
/tune --digest 0.50             # Set digest threshold
/tune --alert 0.85 --digest 0.60  # Set both

Trigger phrases: "tune my feed", "adjust thresholds", "change alert threshold", "set digest threshold", "show thresholds"

Thresholds

Threshold Default Purpose
Alert 0.85 High-priority items flagged for immediate attention
Digest 0.60 Regular items included in the /radar digest

Feed entries with relevance scores at or above the alert threshold are flagged as high-priority. Entries at or above the digest threshold (but below alert) are included in the regular digest. Entries below the digest threshold are stored but not surfaced.

Options

Option Description
--alert <value> Set alert threshold (0.0-1.0)
--digest <value> Set digest threshold (0.0-1.0)

Validation

The alert threshold must be greater than or equal to the digest threshold. Both values must be between 0.0 and 1.0.

Output

Read-Only Mode (no flags)

## Feed Relevance Thresholds

| Threshold | Value | Meaning |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| Alert     | 0.85  | High-priority items flagged for attention |
| Digest    | 0.60  | Items included in /radar digest |

### Tuning Guide
- **Raise alert** if you're getting too many false high-priority items
- **Lower alert** if you're missing important updates
- **Raise digest** if the digest is too noisy
- **Lower digest** if you're missing relevant items

After Adjustment

Shows a before/after comparison and provides the YAML snippet for distillery.yaml:

thresholds:
  alert: 0.90
  digest: 0.50

Info

After changing thresholds, the MCP server needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect if you update distillery.yaml directly.

Tips

  • Start with the defaults (alert: 0.85, digest: 0.60) and adjust based on your experience
  • If the digest is overwhelming, raise the digest threshold
  • If you're missing important updates, lower the alert threshold
  • Changes are shown as a preview with confirmation before applying
