The Process

Step 1: Candidate Selection

Scan Master Content Index for pieces worth resurfacing.

Selection Criteria:

Criteria	Weight	Notes
Evergreen topic	High	Not time-sensitive news
Seasonal relevance	High	Back-to-school (Aug), tax season (Jan-Apr), summer (May-Jun)
News hook	High	Current event relates to old content
High-performing tags	Medium	Topics with proven engagement
Underutilized	Medium	Good content not recently shared

Seasonal Triggers:

Month	Themes
Jan-Feb	New year resolutions, tax planning, semester start
Mar-Apr	Spring planning, testing season, summer prep
May-Jun	End of year, summer activities, deschooling
Jul-Aug	Back to school, curriculum planning, getting started
Sep-Oct	Settling in, adjustments, fall activities
Nov-Dec	Holidays, gift guides, year reflection

Output: 3-5 candidate pieces

Step 2: Extract Key Snippets

For each candidate, read the full content and extract:

1. Best standalone insight (1-2 sentences)
2. Key quote or stat (if applicable)
3. Why share now (evergreen/seasonal/news hook)

Snippet format:

## Candidate: [Title]
**Published:** [Date]
**URL:** [URL]
**Type:** Blog / Daily / Podcast

**Best snippet:** "[1-2 sentence insight]"

**Why now:** [Evergreen / Seasonal: [reason] / News hook: [event]]

**Tags:** [relevant tags]

Step 3: Quick Framework Fit

Load TEMPLATE_INDEX.md and generate draft posts.

For each snippet:

1. Match to 1-2 best templates
2. Generate LinkedIn draft
3. Generate X draft
4. Include link to original article
5. Add framing ("Still relevant:" or "From our archive:" etc.)

Framing options:

• "Still relevant today:"
• "From the archive:"
• "This holds up:"
• "Timely reminder:"
• [No framing - just post the content]

Step 4: Post to Slack

Post suggestions to #content-inbox (C0ABV2VQQKS) using the standard format.
