KTG Content Automation
Automated content pipeline achieving "clone mode" - user approves, not creates.
Core Architecture
Calendar Trigger → Draft Generation → Review Queue → Auto-Post → Monitor
Clone Mode Pipeline
Stage 1: Triggers
| Trigger | Source | Action |
|---|
| Calendar | Notion/Airtable | Fires on scheduled content slot |
| RSS | Blog/News feeds | Fires on new content to repurpose |
| Webhook | External events | Fires on engagement opportunities |
| Manual | User request | Fires immediate content need |
Stage 2: Draft Generation
Webhook receives trigger → Claude generates draft → PR created in repo.
n8n Workflow Pattern: references/draft-generation-workflow.json
Stage 3: Review Queue
- Drafts land in review channel (Slack/Discord/Email)
- User has 10min review window
- Approve = auto-post
- Reject = flag for revision
Stage 4: Distribution
Approved content → parallel post to:
- X (Twitter)
- LinkedIn
- Reddit (subreddit-specific)
- Blog (if long-form)
Stage 5: Monitoring
Grok4 watches:
- Sentiment score
- Engagement spikes
- Competitor mentions
