Steps

1. Set up a Chief of Staff and bot army structure

   Stop using a single chat window. Create a Chief of Staff bot as the sole entry point that understands intent, breaks down tasks, and delegates to dedicated bots. Below it, organize a Judgment Layer (advisors for business, tech, and style review) and an Execution Layer (input bots for news/research, growth bot for topic curation, and production bots for content, visuals, code, and monitoring).

2. Force every deliverable into a digital warehouse

   Require every bot to persist outputs to a warehouse instead of leaving them in chat. Use cloud files, Feishu Base, or Notion. Each bot writes one row per job with draft link, structured summary, code file, and status so the next bot can read and continue the pipeline.

3. Build a one-way knowledge pipeline to feed context

   Replace fragile two-way sync with one-way flow: cloud produces, local archives. Obsidian users: GitHub private repo with scheduled pulls. Notion users: Notion MCP. Feishu users: Feishu CLI. Goal: turn personal notes and preferences into structured context agents can read.

4. Use Tailscale to transplant local environments to cloud

   Beyond basic file access, use Tailscale to push locally tuned agent rules and model configs to cloud servers over a private tunnel, eliminating reconfiguration and enabling multi-model scheduling.

5. Bind each bot to a dedicated Skill (SOP)

   A Skill is an SOP for a digital worker. Each bot needs a high-quality Skill or proven standard process: code review → engineering SOP (e.g., Waza), content polish → business-tone SOP (e.g., DBS), trend mining → deep-research SOP (e.g., last30days). One Skill per bot.

6. Implement a 4-tier hybrid model schedule to control cost

   Understand billing (agent steps + tokens). Assign models by task: real-time search → Grok; long-form writing → Gemini 3.8 Flash; routine chores → cheap APIs (e.g., DeepSeek v4.1flash); complex architecture/code → Codex or Claude.

7. Build automated trigger routines

   Use time and data triggers to run the pipeline without manual prompts. Example: 08:40 news bot fetches briefs; outputs auto-write to Feishu/Notion; new row triggers growth bot to curate topics; confirmed topic triggers content draft and visuals.

8. Keep human control on inputs and final approval

   After automation runs, the human keeps two roles: (1) feed raw personal opinions (e.g., voice memos) as the core input, and (2) final approval on topics, quality, and publishing. Never outsource judgment.

No prompt needed — just follow the steps.
