## Workflow

### Step 1: Check if digest already exists for date

```bash
cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/blog-backup/scripts
BLOG_MACHINE_TOKEN="21719c689a355e40b427a35c548b28699bd7c014aac4d23f5c1bbb122bbb9878" \
BLOG_API_URL="https://blog.twisteddevices.com/api" \
./blog.sh status YYYY-MM-DD
```

If exists → Skip.

### Step 2: Research each category using Tavily

**Search for each category:**

```bash
# iOS/Apple news (current month/year)
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/search.mjs "Apple iOS AI development news" -n 3 --topic news

# AI news
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/search.mjs "AI models news March 2026" -n 3 --topic news

# Coding assistants
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/search.mjs "AI coding assistants Claude Cursor news" -n 3 --topic news

# OpenClaw/Agents
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/search.mjs "OpenClaw AI agents autonomous development" -n 3 --topic news

# Entrepreneurship
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/search.mjs "indie hackers SaaS app development" -n 3 --topic news
```

**Extract full article content for better summaries:**
```bash
node ~/.agents/skills/tavily/scripts/extract.mjs "https://example.com/article"
```

### Step 3: Format content

**Title format:**
```

### Step 4: Post to blog

```bash
cd /Users/mattbruce/Documents/Projects/OpenClaw/Web/blog-backup/scripts

BLOG_MACHINE_TOKEN="21719c689a355e40b427a35c548b28699bd7c014aac4d23f5c1bbb122bbb9878" \
BLOG_API_URL="https://blog.twisteddevices.com/api" \
./blog.sh post \
    --date YYYY-MM-DD \
    --content "FORMATTED_CONTENT" \
    --tags '["daily-digest", "iOS", "AI", "Apple", "OpenClaw"]'
```

### Step 5: Verify

1. Check blog shows new digest
2. Verify date is correct
3. Verify all sections have real links
4. Check for duplicates on same date
