The 5-Agent Framework
for Reclaiming Your Week

The 5 Agents You Need

Each agent owns a specific slice of your content workflow. Together, they run your social presence end-to-end — with you only reviewing and approving.

The 30-Day Implementation Plan

Don't try to stand up all 5 agents at once. Follow this staged rollout — each week builds on the last.

Copy-Paste Prompt Templates

Use these directly with Claude, ChatGPT, or your preferred AI. Customize the [brackets] for your niche.

You are my Content Scout for [YOUR NICHE]. Review the following sources and identify the 3-5 topics my audience most needs right now:

Sources: [RSS FEEDS / SUBREDDITS / ACCOUNTS TO MONITOR]

For each topic, provide:
1. The hook (why it matters RIGHT NOW)
2. My unique angle (what I can add that hasn't been said)
3. Best platform for this topic (Twitter/LinkedIn/Instagram)
4. Urgency: Post this week / Post this month / Save for later

My audience is: [DESCRIBE YOUR AUDIENCE]
My content pillars are: [3-5 THEMES YOU COVER]

Write a Twitter/X thread on [TOPIC] for my audience of [AUDIENCE DESCRIPTION].

Tone: [YOUR TONE — e.g., "direct, no-fluff, uses data and personal examples"]
Voice reference: [PASTE 1-2 OF YOUR BEST PAST THREADS]

Structure:
- Hook tweet: Pattern interrupt + bold claim
- Tweets 2-7: Step-by-step insight or story
- Tweet 8: Proof point / result
- Final tweet: CTA pointing to [YOUR LEAD MAGNET OR OFFER]

Keep each tweet under 240 characters. Use line breaks for readability. No emojis except where genuinely impactful.

You are my social media Monitor. Review the following comments/replies and categorize each:

[PASTE COMMENTS]

Categories:
A) Needs personal response from me (urgent/sensitive/opportunity)
B) Draft a response I can approve in one click
C) Can be handled with a template reply (specify which template)
D) No response needed

For Category B items, write the response now. Match my voice: [BRIEF VOICE DESCRIPTION]
Keep responses under 280 characters for Twitter, 3 sentences max for other platforms.

You are my social media Reporter. Compile this week's performance into a 1-page summary.

Data: [PASTE RAW METRICS FROM EACH PLATFORM]

Report format:
1. Top 3 wins this week (posts that overperformed)
2. 1 miss (what underperformed and why)
3. Audience growth: [NET FOLLOWERS GAINED]
4. Engagement rate vs. last week: [X%]
5. Top 3 actions for next week (ranked by expected impact)

Keep it scannable. Bullet points only. I should be able to act on this in 5 minutes.

You are my Content Scheduler. Given the following approved drafts, create the optimal posting schedule for this week.

Drafts: [LIST YOUR APPROVED PIECES WITH PLATFORM]

My audience peak times by platform:
- Twitter/X: [YOUR PEAK TIMES]
- LinkedIn: [YOUR PEAK TIMES]  
- Instagram: [YOUR PEAK TIMES]

Constraints:
- No more than 2 posts per day per platform
- Space promotional content at least 3 posts apart
- Never post on [BLACKOUT DAYS/TIMES]

Output a day-by-day schedule table I can copy into Buffer.

Tool Checklist

Everything you need to run your 5-agent system. Most have free tiers that are more than enough to start.

• ✓
  AI Orchestration Layer
  OpenClaw (recommended) or n8n / Make / Zapier. This is the connective tissue — it runs your agents on schedules, passes data between them, and sends you the summaries. OpenClaw is purpose-built for AI agent workflows and has a generous free tier.
• ✓
  AI Model Access
  Claude API (Anthropic) or OpenAI API. Claude Haiku is fast and cheap for Scout/Monitor tasks; Claude Sonnet for Builder/Reporter quality. Budget: ~$10–20/month for a full 5-agent setup.
• ✓
  Social Scheduler
  Buffer (free: 3 channels, 10 posts queued) is perfect to start. Upgrade to Hootsuite or Later when you're managing 5+ platforms. Your Scheduler agent pushes approved content here via API.
• ✓
  Email Service
  ConvertKit (free up to 1,000 subscribers) or Mailchimp. Connect your Monitor agent to forward important DMs and weekly Reporter summaries to your inbox. Also where your lead magnets get delivered.
• ✓
  RSS + Content Sources
  Feedly (free) or Inoreader for aggregating your Scout's source feeds. Add 10–15 high-signal sources: top newsletters, competitor blogs, subreddits, and industry publications relevant to your niche.
• ✓
  Analytics Dashboard
  Each platform's native analytics is fine to start — your Reporter agent pulls the numbers via API or you paste them in weekly. For multi-platform views, Metricool (free tier) or Plausible give you a single source of truth.
• ✓
  Simple Storage (Optional)
  A shared Notion or Airtable database gives all your agents a common memory — the Scout logs topics it's seen, the Builder stores approved drafts, the Reporter tracks historical performance. Not required to start, but powerful once you're at Week 3+.

Quick Start: Your First Agent in 15 Minutes

Launch your Content Scout right now. No code. No complex setup. Just follow these steps.

1. Open your AI tool 2 min Open Claude, ChatGPT, or your preferred AI. You'll run your Scout manually this first time to validate the output before automating.
2. Paste the Scout prompt 3 min Use the Content Scout template from Section 3 above. Fill in your niche, 5 sources you already read (blogs, subreddits, newsletters), your audience description, and your 3 content pillars.
3. Review the brief 3 min Read the 3–5 topics your Scout surfaced. For each one, ask: "Is this something my audience is genuinely talking about right now?" If yes, mark it. If no, tell the AI why — that feedback trains the next brief.
4. Hand one topic to the Builder 4 min Take your top topic and paste it into the Builder prompt (Section 3). Include your tone description and one example of a post you're proud of. Let it draft a Twitter thread or LinkedIn post in your voice.
5. Edit, approve, and schedule 3 min Read the draft. Make any edits that sound off. Then post it directly or queue it in Buffer. You just completed your first AI-assisted content cycle. Repeat this process twice more this week, then automate it using OpenClaw or n8n.
