Newsletter assembler
Each period an editor gathers the notes, links, and shipped work, checks every link is live, and assembles them into a voice-consistent newsletter issue draft — subject + preview text, opener, curated sections, reply-inviting close — for you to approve before it sends.
Saves you ~3.3 h / week

What it installs
Agents 2
-
Newsletter Editor
Turns notes, links, and shipped work into a verified, humanized issue draft.
-
Newsletter assembler Quality Reviewer
Checks primary evidence, domain controls, deliverable completeness, and communication quality, stopping the run when the work is wrong, unsupported, incomplete, or uncertain.
Teams 1
-
Newsletter assembler quality team
The delivery agents produce the work while an independent quality reviewer checks each workflow handoff against explicit evidence, domain, and communication requirements before the run can continue.
Workflows 2
-
Newsletter issue
Gather and verify material, draft the issue, humanize and self-critique, and hand off for approval.
-
Newsletter performance readback
Load complete seven-day issue results, combine them with editor feedback, approve a decision, and preserve the learning.
Documents 2
-
Issue archive
A running record of shipped issues so tone, sections, and recurring features stay consistent and repeats are avoided.
-
Newsletter performance log
The approved issue plans, editor feedback, fixed result windows, measured reader outcomes, and human-approved learnings.
Goals 1
-
One inbox-respecting issue approved every period
The template exists to keep a reliable newsletter cadence of curated, verified, voice-consistent issues — a standing promise to the reader's inbox, not sporadic sends. Success looks like: Every scheduled period, one issue — with every link verified, a subject + preview chosen from options, a themed opener, curated sections, and a reply-inviting close — passes the inbox-respect bar and is approved by the human before it sends, with the issue archive updated.
Skills 2
-
emails
Design email content that nurtures and converts: one email/one job, value before ask, subject + preview-text strategy, and scannable mobile-first formatting. Adapted from coreyhaines31/marketingskills/emails.
-
substack-ghostwriting
Ghostwrite newsletter issues in a creator's voice: match voice, validate title + hook before drafting, format for the inbox, close with a reply prompt, and humanize to strip AI patterns. Adapted from samber/cc-skills/substack-ghostwriting.
Schedules 2
-
Newsletter issue
Drafts the period's newsletter issue on the schedule you choose. ## Professional quality control Objective: complete the recurring Newsletter assembler operating cycle and deliver a review-ready, evidence-backed result rather than merely report that the schedule ran. Start by fixing the review period, reading the current source records and prior run, confirming required access, and listing missing or contradictory inputs. Execute the bundle's full authored method in order, retaining source, calculation, command, or before/after evidence for load-bearing findings. Separate facts from interpretation, apply supplied policy without inventing thresholds, and stop any branch that requires missing authority or an unconfirmed human rule. Produce the complete named deliverable plus an evidence record, assumptions, exceptions, unresolved questions, and concrete next actions with owners where the method calls for them. Run the workflow's independent verifier checks and fix failures before requesting approval. The task is done only when every requested section and quality criterion passes or a blocker is explicit; silence, inaccessible data, or polished prose is not proof of completion. For prose, verify audience and voice against supplied examples, support every factual claim, and remove generic AI phrasing, filler, canned setup, hollow transitions, inflated language, repetitive tricolons, bullet soup, and uniform cadence. Preserve format-specific load-bearing elements such as the hook, subject line, quoted language, and call to action while making every paragraph earn its place. Reject unsupported claims or fake specificity. The human retains authority over publication, sending, spend, signing, merging, deployment, and other consequential external actions.

Requirements
- Web search and fetch access for link gathering and checking — The editor gathers candidate links and verifies each one is live and worth including through worker web search and fetch tools that read public pages. Until web tools are available, it works only from the links and notes you supply and flags any it couldn't verify.
- Browser access to your newsletter platform — The agent prepares each issue in your newsletter or email platform (Substack, beehiiv, Ghost, Mailchimp, and similar) through its web interface in your browser and pauses for your approval before anything sends. Until you connect it, it hands you a paste-ready draft and you send it yourself.
