Select Best Content for Posting
Mission
Rank all PASS content (20+/30 scores), apply tie-breaker rules, and select EXACTLY ONE best piece for human review in content-ready.md.
Process
Follow the Selector agent instructions (agents/selector.md) to systematically:
- Filter for PASS content (20+/30 scores with ✅ PASS verdict)
- Rank by total score (descending order)
- Apply tie-breaker rules if multiple pieces tied for first
- Validate selection against quality gates
- Format for content-ready.md with posting instructions
- Document runner-ups (top 3 alternatives)
Execution Steps
Step 1: Read Scored Content
Input Source: content-drafts.md with completed scores and critic verdicts
Required Data:
- Total scores (Gap + Biases + Decision = XX/30)
- Critic verdict (✅ PASS or ❌ FAIL)
- Subscore breakdowns (Gap subscore, Hook subscore, Bias count)
- Content text and theme information
Step 2: Filter and Rank
Filter Criteria:
- Total score ≥ 20/30
- Critic verdict: ✅ PASS
- Factually accurate (verified by Critic)
Ranking:
- Primary: Sort by total score (descending)
- Expected: 12-20 PASS pieces from 25 total variations
Quality Alert:
- If < 5 PASS pieces: Alert user that quality is below threshold
- Consider regenerating content with stronger constraints
Step 3: Apply Tie-Breaker Rules
If multiple pieces have same total score, apply tie-breakers in order:
- Gap Selling Subscore: Higher Gap score wins (problem clarity most important)
- Hook Strength: Higher Hook subscore wins (first line = 80% of engagement)
- Lollapalooza Effect: Content with 5+ biases wins (exponential persuasive power)
- Bias Diversity: More unique biases wins (broader psychological appeal)
- Theme Novelty: Less-used theme wins (prevents theme fatigue)
- Human Judgment: If still tied, flag for manual decision
Step 4: Validate Selection
Before finalizing, verify:
Quality Gates:
- Selected piece scores 20+/30 (ideally 25+/30)
- All three frameworks adequately addressed (no subscore < 5)
- Factually accurate (verified by Critic)
- High engagement potential (hook + emotional resonance)
Platform Appropriateness:
- Twitter/X character limits respected (280 single or thread)
- Tone matches platform (conversational, punchy)
- Format clean (line breaks, readability)
Strategic Fit:
- Theme aligns with user's positioning
- Message supports broader narrative
- Timing appropriate (seasonally relevant)
Step 5: Write to content-ready.md
Location: /home/rpiplewar/fast_dot_ai/poasting/content-ready.md
Action: OVERWRITE file (only ONE piece should exist)
