Prompt for your agent

Goal: Set up small recurring routines in plain English.
Setup: agents used in source: Claude; tools/MCPs stated: Claude Code routines, scheduled tasks.
Steps:
1. Create a 10 a.m. routine that checks your numbers so you don’t spend hours analysing.
2. Add a Mon/Wed/Fri routine that maintains a file of future post ideas.
3. Add a scheduled task that digests Hacker News for you.
4. Note: local routines need your computer awake and online.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
