Step 2: Research (15 minutes waiting, 5 reviewing)
Kick off the newsletter-researcher agent with the topic:
/newsletter-researcher "topic: AI pipeline architecture"The agent goes off and builds a research brief. While it runs, I do something else. When it comes back — usually ten to fifteen minutes for a thorough brief — I spend five minutes reviewing what it found.
The review is not passive. I check:
- Are the sources credible and current?
- Did it find the angle I was thinking about, or a different one that’s actually better?
- What’s missing that I know matters?
I often add two or three points manually — things I know from experience that the research didn’t surface, or a counterargument the brief glossed over. The brief is a starting point, not a final document.
