Platform Rules
| Spec | Value | |
|---|---|---|

| Best time | 8-9 AM and 6-8 PM (commute windows) |
Core Principle: Permission-Based and Personal
WhatsApp is the most personal platform -- content lands in the same app as family and friends messages. Every update must deliver enough value that the reader does not mute the channel. Overposting causes permanent unsubscribes. Quality over frequency, always.
Output 1: Channel Update
File: whatsapp/update.md
Length: 100-300 chars.
Structure:
- Emoji opener -- Single emoji signaling topic or mood.
- Key insight -- 1-2 sentences with the single most valuable takeaway.
Must feel like a personal message, not a broadcast. Mobile-first.
- Value hook -- One line on why this matters to the reader.
- Link (if applicable) -- Bare URL or short context + URL.
Rules:
- Write as if texting ONE person; use "you" and "I"
- Short sentences, line breaks between every thought
- No formal language, no corporate feel
- Emoji as paragraph markers (1-2 per update max)
Output 2: Poll
File: whatsapp/poll.md
| Spec | Constraint | |
|---|---|---|
| Options | 2-4 (under 25 chars each) | |
| Max options | 12 (platform limit) | |
| Question | Conversational, derived from content |
Poll structure:
- Context message: 1-2 sentences framing why this question matters.
- Question: Specific, conversational. Write as if asking a friend.
- Options: Real positions, under 25 chars each. Include one lighthearted option.
Output 3: Content Teaser
File: whatsapp/teaser.md
Length: 200-500 chars.
Structure:
- Curiosity hook -- One line creating an information gap.
- Bullet points -- 2-3 emoji-bulleted items of what they will learn.
- Link -- Full URL to original content.
- Emoji CTA -- Single-line casual call-to-action.
Tone Rules
| Do | Do NOT | |
|---|---|---|
| Write like texting a friend | Write like a newsletter | |
| Use "you" and "I" | Use "we are pleased to announce" | |
| Use emoji as paragraph markers | Overload with emoji (max 3-4) | |
| Keep sentences under 15 words | Write multi-clause sentences | |
| Line breaks between every thought | Write dense paragraphs | |
| Deliver value in every message | Post just to stay visible |
Output Format

Brief Mode
If --brief is active, produce only:
- 1 channel update (highest-impact atom, shortest format)

Error Handling

No stat atoms | Use insight + question framing | |
brief_mode is true | Generate update only; skip poll and teaser | |
| Content too formal | Aggressively rewrite to casual, personal tone | |
| Content is promotional | Reframe as tip or insight; strip product mentions | |
| Long content | Extract single best takeaway for update |
