MINY Strat
What Is This?
MINY Strat is a strategy intelligence system for independent music creators. It sits on top of a curated database of 1,597 AI-extracted strategies sourced from proprietary music business research across two comprehensive source libraries.
The system has two surfaces:
- Web app — a searchable strategy browser at skills.minyvinyl.com (Next.js, deployed on Vercel)
- Telegram bot — @minystratbot, a conversational interface that matches strategies to an artist's specific situation (OpenClaw engine, deployed on exe.dev)
What Problem Does It Solve?
Independent artists and small managers drown in generic advice. "Build your brand" and "be consistent on social media" don't help when you're a hip-hop producer in Atlanta with no budget, three beats on YouTube, and no idea how to get a sync placement.
MINY Strat narrows the gap between "I need help" and "here's exactly what to do next" by:
- Understanding who the artist is (role, genre, geography, career stage)
- Searching a real strategy database instead of generating hallucinated advice
- Returning 2-3 specific, actionable strategies per question
- Remembering the artist's context across sessions
- Working in any language (auto-translate to English for search, respond in their language)
Architecture
- 1,597 strategies across 12 domains (Press/Radio, Analytics, Social Media, Live/Touring, Website, Content, Discovery/SEO, Legal/Business, Sales/Merch, Email, Fan Relationships, Distribution)
- Keyword-scored search with weighted matching (title 3x, principle 2x, AI wedge 1x, tags 1x)
- Artist memory persisted as markdown files keyed by Telegram ID or email
- Multi-language via google-translate-api-x (free, no API key)

Key Learning
gemini-2.5-flash-lite follows prompt instructions about 70% of the time. Any rule that absolutely must be enforced (like "max 5 search results" or "max 3 strategies per message") needs to be enforced in code, not just in AGENTS.md. The model will break soft rules when it thinks it's being helpful.
