The daily 5

Five jobs for your agent, every morning.

Each with the prompt to paste, the catch people hit, and the source. Read in two minutes.

What an issue looks like
  1. 1
    Audit your draft folder and surface the post closest to ready

    You get a short list of genuinely unpublished drafts ranked by how close they are to done, with the top pick named and a brief reason why.

    The catch: The agent marks a draft as unpublished when it is already live, because the site search missed a match.

    Reported
  2. 2
    Brief yourself on every external meeting guest before your day starts

    Before your first meeting you have one short brief per external meeting, with sources for every claim about each guest.

    The catch: The brief describes the wrong person with the same name.

    Corroborated
  3. 3
    Build a personal knowledge base wiki that a coding agent maintains from your notes

    You have a folder of interlinked markdown pages with an index and a change log, built from your sources, that you can read in Obsidian and query through the agent, with every change reviewable in git.

    The catch: Changelog entries say one thing while the page's main text still describes the old state.

    Corroborated
  4. 4
    Build a private spending dashboard from your bank and card CSV exports

    You get a local dashboard of spending by month and category that you can rebuild each month, with totals that match your statements.

    The catch: The model labels most transactions as "other" or picks odd categories, such as fuel for bank fees.

    Corroborated
  5. 5
    Build a profit-and-loss statement from a raw Amazon transaction export

    You get a structured P&L with each transaction classified, totals calculated with formulas, and a clear view of gross margin.

    The catch: The agent misclassifies unusual Amazon fee types such as storage surcharges, reimbursements, or co-op charges.
