Copy-paste prompt
Every weekday at 7:00 AM, read these RSS feeds: <FEED1>, <FEED2>, <FEED3>.
Only items from the last 24h. Keep the 3 most relevant to <AUDIENCE> (skip press releases and duplicates).
For each: draft a <X post / LinkedIn post / newsletter blurb> under <N> words in my voice (examples: <PASTE 3>), with the source link.
Append to content-queue.md with date and status "draft". Post the 3 drafts here. Don't publish anything.
Expected result
Three drafts a day, saved to a queue file and shown in chat.
Gotchas
- Some feeds only give a headline and summary. Ask it to open the article if it needs more context.
- Always keep the source link and add your own take. Rewording others' work without credit hurts trust.
- The built-in X tools only read, so publishing to X is your step.
FAQ
Can it email the newsletter? It can draft one. Every send needs your approval, and newsletters go one recipient per message with an unsubscribe link.
