In about two hours, write the relevance criteria, the 'what counts as new' rule and the one-screen digest format that turn a noisy morning feed into updates you'll actually read.
What you will be able to do
- Tie every topic to a project decision: Write relevance criteria that link each monitored topic to a specific decision or deliverable in your project, phrased as yes/no tests an agent can apply.
- Separate a real change from a re-report: Write a 'what counts as new' rule that tells an event apart from a re-report, a restatement or a syndicated copy, with a time window after which old news can't come back as new.
- Collapse duplicates into one entry: Give the agent deduplication instructions: when two items are the same event, which single source to show, and how to note that it appeared in several places without listing each one.
- Get a digest that fits one screen: Specify a fixed format for every entry (change, source, why it matters to this project, suggested action), with length limits and a marker that separates 'act today' from 'for awareness'.
- Test it on a sample week and tighten it: Run your configuration against a week of sample input, sort each output into correct, duplicate or irrelevant, find the rule that failed and rewrite it.
- Write a brief someone else can run: Document the monitoring brief so a colleague or a replacement agent can run it without having to guess what you meant.
