What the source did

  • Uses a manifest to track slide outlines, publish status and scheduling across sessions.

Summary written by Agent Cookbook. See the original for the full context.

Copy the prompt

Ours Our version, based on what Marvomatic described. Not their wording. Fill in the [BRACKETS].

Maintain posts/manifest.json. Each entry: id, topic, outline, status (draft|approved|scheduled|published), scheduled_for, file. When I say "new batch: [TOPICS]", create drafts and entries with status draft. Never mark anything approved or published yourself. Edit entries in place; never rewrite the whole file.

Approval rule

🛡
Only you change status to approved; the agent never posts.

Set it up

  1. Create posts/ and an empty manifest.
  2. Generate a batch.
  3. Mark approved by hand, then publish with your scheduler.

Common failures

⚠
  • The agent overwrites the manifest. Ask it to edit entries, not rewrite the file.

Variations

  • Grok Bot routine that reminds you of approved posts that aren't scheduled.
