Morning content scan with scripts drafted

Before you wake up, a scheduled task reads your sources and newsletters, sorts stories into post today, save for a series, log, ask me or skip, and drafts a script for anything worth posting. One chat message lists only the decisions.

What it does

  • Opens each source site article by article and reads newsletters from your inbox
  • Sorts every story into post today, save for a series, log, ask me or skip
  • Drafts a script for stories worth posting today
  • Files ideas and updates into your content databases
  • Sends one chat message with only the decisions, then archives the newsletters it read

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Posting any script it drafts
  • Anything in the ask me pile

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for marketers and solo creators who need steady output without losing their voice. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it opens each source site article by article and reads newsletters from your inbox. Next, it sorts every story into post today, save for a series, log, ask me or skip. Then it drafts a script for stories worth posting today. After that, it files ideas and updates into your content databases. Finally, it sends one chat message with only the decisions, then archives the newsletters it read. It works with your web fetch, email, knowledge base 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 posting any script it drafts and anything in the ask me pile, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

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. 1Set up Web fetch. Keep it to public pages, no logged-in sessions.
  2. 2Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
  3. 3Connect Notion with its own login, not yours. Grant only the pages it needs, read first.
  4. 4Connect Slack with its own login, not yours. Grant a bot token in the channels it needs.
  5. 5Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  6. 6Do 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.
  7. 7Read 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.

Access18 / 30

Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.

Human approval30 / 30

Waits for a yes on: posting any script it drafts, anything in the ask me pile.

Undo and logs17 / 20

Leaves drafts you can throw away, with a record of what it made.

Scope16 / 20

Runs on its own login across 4 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
  • Scope: Cut it down from 4 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2

Do all of these to reach 89, up from 81.
