A long post goes live and most of the distribution work is still ahead. The writing is done, and what remains is turning one piece into copy that suits each channel it goes out on.
By hand this means going back to the same post nine times, finding a different angle in it each time.
Ask your agent to write all nine, so what is left is reading them and deciding what goes out.
What the agent starts with
The agent reads the post as the Markdown file the blog is built from. Its front matter carries how the post has done since it went out, so the agent knows what it is working with rather than being told.
The Content distribution board has been running for months. Published holds nine pieces that have already gone out, each with the numbers it did; Scheduled holds two waiting on a date. Drafting is the empty column, and that is where the new work belongs.
The prompt
The line about standing alone is what changes the output. Written for a reader who never clicks through, each piece has to make its own point rather than tease the post, and the instruction to cut duplicates stops nine drafts from being three ideas repeated.
What comes back
Nine goals appear in Drafting on the Content distribution board — seven social posts, an email and a video description — spread across the two weeks, each holding finished copy rather than a note about what to write. Opening one shows a draft you could send, not a summary of the post with a link attached. The angles differ, so two of them in a row do not make the same point.
Nothing is in Scheduled. That column stays empty until a person moves something into it, which is the only step in this that publishing depends on.
