Imelda

Posts by prominent public figures move stocks, but the attribution is usually hand-wavy — a headline asserts a connection without showing the post, the affected securities, or the price action. I wanted a tracker that closes that loop: the source post, what it claims about which tickers or industries, and the daily bars next to it, all inspectable.

Imelda ingests posts by public figures (v1: Truth Social archive) plus official actions — executive orders, proclamations, and trade-agency notices from the Federal Register API — into one feed with kind badges. A Claude extraction pass identifies affected stocks and industries per event; daily price bars from Stooq are joined for the market side.

Adding a source means adding one SourceSpec entry in a registry, not a new pipeline. Extraction quality is guarded by a prompt eval over real analyzed events and a mechanical audit gate before verdict batches apply. A human-curated holdings register drives conflict badges, and a keyless analysis path lets agent waves do extraction without an API key. The picks board, track record, and provenance views keep every claim checkable.

The service runs 24/7 as a single process — Fastify API, scheduler, and static SPA — with ingestion, keyed or keyless analysis, and the full Feed / Timeline / Aggregates / picks UI live. The local gate (typecheck, unit tests, web tests, build) plus Playwright end-to-end specs against a seeded database keep the pipeline honest as sources are added.
