name: content-scheduler description: Plan, organize, and track content with smart rotation — never publish the same format twice in a row. Manages calendars, draft pipelines (idea→draft→ready→published), and JSON trackers. Built from publishing 27 pieces in 6 days and learning what kills engagement. For blogs, social, newsletters — any recurring content. Doesn't post anything — just plans and tracks.

Content Scheduler

Built after posting 27 pieces in 6 days and realizing half were the same format. My engagement dropped 40% during a 3-day streak of identical tweet styles. This system prevents that.

Content Rotation — The Engine

Pick 3-5 types that match your output:

The rule: Never publish the same type back to back. Wrap around after the last one.

Tracker

{
  "types": ["hot-take", "thread", "question", "visual", "story"],
  "nextType": "question",
  "todayCount": 1,
  "maxPerDay": 4,
  "history": [
    {
      "date": "2026-03-13",
      "type": "hot-take",
      "title": "Stop asking ChatGPT nicely",
      "status": "published",
      "notes": "87 impressions in 2 hours — new voice works"
    }
  ]
}

maxPerDay is critical. I did 14 posts in one day and triggered a platform throttle that took 3 days to recover from.

Draft Pipeline

The 7-day rule exists because I watched 23 drafts pile up and published zero. The editing backlog felt so overwhelming that starting fresh was easier.

Cadence Guide

Mistake #1: Starting daily and burning out in week 2. Pick something sustainable for 3 months.

Mistake #2: Posting more when engagement is low. If your last 10 posts flopped, the problem isn't volume.

Engagement Patterns (from real data)

1. "A or B?" > "What do you think?" — options get 3x the replies of open-ended questions
2. First 10 words determine everything — don't waste them on "Here's a thread about..."
3. Links hurt reach — every platform deprioritizes external links. Max 1 in 4 posts.
4. Same format fatigue is real — my engagement dropped 40% during 3 days of only single tweets
5. Morning = impressions, evening = engagement — hot takes AM, questions PM

6. 3-post rule: If 3 in a row flop, change ONE variable. Not everything at once.

Safety

• Set maxPerDay and CHECK it before posting. Exceeding limits triggers throttling.
• Scan drafts for private info before publishing.
• Archive don't delete — move dead drafts to archived status.
