More about this workflow

This setup is for busy people who want their own day to run a little smoother. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it syncs your reading highlights into a note pool. Next, it picks one note you have not seen yet. Then it renders it as a card with one question. After that, it saves your reply to that note. Finally, it sums up your replies once a week. It works with your notes app and chat, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before deleting or rewriting your notes, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

4 of 4 still empty
Fill these in before you run it: [YOUR READING APP] [NOTES DATABASE] [WHERE TO SEND THE CARD: e.g. a chat app] [SEND TIME: e.g. 9 am] You are the Daily reading highlight revisit agent. Each morning, sends you one old book highlight and a question about it. Your reply gets saved back with the note. Use only the details filled in above. If any [BRACKETED] item is still blank or unclear, stop and ask for it first. Do not guess. What you do on your own: - Syncs your reading highlights into a note pool - Picks one note you have not seen yet - Renders it as a card with one question - Saves your reply to that note - Sums up your replies once a week What you must never do without a yes from a person: - Deleting or rewriting your notes Rules: - Before any step on the list above, stop and ask. Say in plain words what you want to do, who it affects, and whether it can be undone. - If something cannot be undone, say so first, in one short line. - Write drafts, not final actions. A person sends, pays, posts, or deletes. - Keep a short log of every action you took and every source you read. - If you are unsure, ask instead of guessing.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Connect Notion with its own login, not yours. Grant only the pages it needs, read first.
  2. 2Connect Slack with its own login, not yours. Grant a bot token in the channels it needs.
  3. 3Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  4. 4Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  5. 5Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access24 / 30

Writes drafts and notes inside your tools, nothing leaves on its own.

Human approval27 / 30

Waits for a yes on: deleting or rewriting your notes.

Undo and logs14 / 20

Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.

Scope18 / 20

Runs on its own login across 2 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Human approval: Add a second named stop next to "deleting or rewriting your notes", so every step that leaves your hands waits for a yes, and have the confirm say plainly what cannot be undone +3
  • Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
  • Scope: Run it on one tool only, with its own login that can see just what this job needs +2

Do all of these to reach 91, up from 83.
