Before You Load This Skill

Your agent reads a content calendar file you maintain on your server.

Create your content calendar:

In the browser console, run:

text

echo "# Content Calendar" > ~/content-calendar.md

Then open the file and add your upcoming posts. One line per post works fine. Example:

text

Week of May 12
- TikTok: AI hook video, due Tuesday
- Newsletter: Issue 14, due Wednesday
- YouTube: tool walkthrough, due Friday

Update this file whenever your plan changes. Your agent reads it fresh each Monday.

3. Agent identifies what is due this week, what shipped last week, and one suggested focus area
4. Agent sends a formatted brief to WhatsApp via the message tool

What a Typical Brief Looks Like

Your agent sends a WhatsApp message each Monday morning. Format:

text

Content brief: week of [date]

Due this week:
- [item], [day]
- [item], [day]

Shipped last week:
- [item]

Focus: [one suggested priority based on what is overdue or upcoming]

Short. No fluff. Everything fits in one WhatsApp message.
