content-engine-supervisor

An always-on content workflow that wakes for a scheduled job, webhook, or manual trigger, gathers research, assigns content work, synchronizes files, and starts measurement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select timely research, avoid duplicate topics, create article and platform-content drafts, manage active production runs, and connect published content with performance data.
Why use it?
It coordinates recurring content production without requiring one continuously running process; each wake performs one bounded cycle and exits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

content-engine-supervisor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Content Engine Supervisor (Always-On)

Content Engine is skills-first. This supervisor runs bounded one-cycle wakes and exits. It does not stay alive between cycles.

Inputs

  • Active ship-engine runs (Linear tickets tagged with run stage)
  • Research intel shortlist (ranked by recency + relevance + ROI)
  • Semantic inspiration (voice samples, best performers, proven offers)
  • Calendar state (current queue status)
  • Analytics evidence (for live assets: day-1 and week-1 data)

Core Loop (One Cycle)

1. For each active run → fetch strategy/ICP context (blackboard + stage ticket artifacts)
   - Require intake preflight before creating downstream artifacts:
     intake.product_brief, intake.interview, intake.research_kickoff

2. Pull ranked research shortlist
   - ROI gate: only research with strong engagement signal
   - Dedup: skip topics already in queue or recently published
   - Recency: prefer fresh evidence (< 30 days)

3. Write context keys:
   - awareness.content_candidates
   - validate.research_dataset (if applicable)

4. If awareness content is missing for active run → delegate:
   - content-compose → pillar draft
   - content-waterfall → platform bundle

5. Auto-schedule derivatives
   - Drafts only — no publishing
   - Respect locked items in the calendar
   - Fill gaps, don't overwrite confirmed posts

6. Sync artifacts to Linear and run state:
   - outputs.content_calendar
   - outputs.content_waterfall
   - awareness.content_calendar (blackboard key)
   - awareness.content_waterfall (blackboard key)

7. If live permalinks exist → delegate measurement:
   - content-measure → measure.kpis + measure.feedback_events

8. Apply learning gate:
   - Always log observations
   - Update pattern files only when N≥3 data points exist for the pattern
   - Update skill defaults only with explicit confirmation

Guardrails

  • Draft scheduling is allowed; auto-publishing is not — the owner publishes
  • Never fabricate research evidence or metrics
  • Never mark deliverables verified or live without a real permalink
  • Intake preflight is mandatory before creating awareness content for a run
  • One cycle = one wake → do work → exit (no persistent loop)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

content-engine-supervisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository maxtechera/ship (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 677 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
