Draft a weekly newsletter from your latest posts and schedule it after approval
Idea + starter prompt, not run by us yet
For: Writers and owners who mean to send a newsletter every week but often skip it
Sid wrote a Claude Code skill that, on a /newsletter command, finds posts from the last 7 days, drafts a short email in his voice and waits for his approval. It then creates the broadcast in Kit through its API and schedules it. A run takes about two minutes.
Steps
- Write a short voice guide for your newsletter.
- Keep your email platform API key in a local env file, never in chat.
- Turn the starter prompt into a Claude Code skill.
- Read and approve every draft before it is scheduled.
- Note what your platform's API cannot do. In this case Kit could not create forms or sequences.
Starter prompt
Read my voice guide at [voice-guide.md]. Find posts from my site published in the last 7 days in [content folder or index]. Draft a short newsletter: a subject line, a two-line intro and a short blurb plus link for each post. Show me the draft and wait for my approval. Only after I say yes, create the email in [email platform] as a draft scheduled for [day and time]. Never print the API key. Tell me the scheduled time when done.
