Two pages, every morning.

The News Brief turns yesterday's newsletters into a digest at 9:15. The Morning Brief gathers tasks, calendar, focus stats, and flagged email into one page at 10:30. Both publish to Notion once per day.

03Notion output

strict formats · one quote-line per story
Format rules
ENFORCED BY THE PUBLISHER, NOT THE PROMPT
One quote-block line per story: label, sentence, source link.
Citation URLs are allowlisted against the source markdown. No invented links.
$ is escaped. Notion would render math.
A failing source degrades its section, never the page.

04Guarantees

publishing discipline
1×
One page per day

The publisher checks for an existing page first. The same brief never posts twice.

◌
Graceful degradation

If a source is down, its section is skipped. The rest still publishes.

[N]
No raw URLs

The model only sees numbered link ids, which blocks prompt injection and fake links.

✓
Allowlisted citations

Every link is verified against the fetched sources.

Two pages, published daily.

Plain Python and one model call each.
