Phase 2: Research & Curation
Step 2.1: Multi-Source Research
Conduct thorough research using web search. The quality of the newsletter depends directly on the quality and recency of research.
Search Strategy:
# Current news and developments
"[topic] news [current month] [current year]"
"[topic] latest developments"
"[topic] announcement this week"
# Trends and analysis
"[topic] trends [current year]"
"[topic] analysis expert opinion"
"[topic] industry report"
# Data and statistics
"[topic] statistics [current year]"
"[topic] market data latest"
"[topic] growth metrics"
# Tools and resources
"[topic] new tools [current year]"
"[topic] open source release"
"best [topic] resources [current year]"
IMPORTANT: Always check <current_date> to ensure search queries use the correct temporal context. Never use hardcoded years.
Step 2.2: Source Evaluation and Selection
Evaluate each source and curate the best content:
Criterion
Priority
Recency
Prefer content from the last 7-30 days
Authority
Prioritize primary sources, official announcements, established publications
Uniqueness
Select stories that offer fresh perspective or are underreported
Relevance
Every item must clearly connect to the newsletter's stated topic(s)
Actionability
Prefer content readers can act on (tools, insights, strategies)
Diversity
Mix of news, analysis, data, and practical resources
Step 2.3: Deep Content Extraction
For key stories, use web_fetch to read full articles and extract:
Core facts — What happened, who is involved, when
Context — Why this matters, background information
Data points — Specific numbers, metrics, or statistics
Quotes — Relevant expert quotes or official statements
Implications — What this means for the reader
Phase 3: Writing
Step 3.1: Newsletter Header
Every newsletter starts with a consistent header:
# [Newsletter Name]*[Tagline or description] — [Date]*
---
[Optional: One-sentence preview of what's inside]
Evidence: Every claim backed by data or sourced information
Step 3.3: Writing Standards
Principle
Implementation
Scannable
Use headers, bold text, bullet points, and short paragraphs
Engaging
Lead with the most interesting angle, not chronological order
Concise
Every sentence earns its place — cut filler ruthlessly
Accurate
Every fact is sourced, every number is verified
Attributive
Always credit original sources with inline links
Human
Write like a knowledgeable friend, not a press release
Tone Calibration by Audience:
Audience
Tone
Example
Technical
Precise, no jargon explanations, assumed expertise
"The new API supports gRPC streaming with backpressure handling via flow control windows."
Executive
Impact-focused, bottom-line, strategic
"This acquisition gives Company X a 40% market share in the enterprise segment, directly threatening Incumbent Y's pricing power."
General
Accessible, analogies, explains concepts
"Think of it like a universal translator for data — it lets any app talk to any database without learning a new language."
Phase 4: Assembly & Polish
Step 4.1: Assemble the Newsletter
Combine all sections into the final document following the chosen structure template.
Step 4.2: Footer
Every newsletter ends with:
---
*[Newsletter Name] is [description of what it is].**[How to subscribe/share/give feedback]**Sources: All links are provided inline. This newsletter curates and summarizes
publicly available information with original commentary.*
Step 4.3: Quality Checklist
Before finalizing, verify:
Every factual claim has a source link — No unsourced assertions
All links are functional — Verified URLs from search results
Date references use the actual current date — No hardcoded or assumed dates
Content is current — All major items are from within the expected timeframe
No duplicate stories — Each item appears only once
Consistent formatting — Headers, bullets, links use the same style throughout
Balanced coverage — Not dominated by a single source or perspective
Appropriate length — Matches the specified length target
Engaging opening — The first 2 sentences make the reader want to continue
Clear closing — The newsletter ends with a memorable or actionable note
Proofread — No typos, broken formatting, or incomplete sentences
