Premise
An effective monitor earns attention by withholding repetitive updates. Once an hour it checks a bounded list of work-relevant policy topics, reports only verified changes, and reserves escalation for decisions that actually require the operator.
Setup
- Define three to seven specific topics and the jurisdictions that matter.
- Connect trusted news and primary government sources.
- Store the last reported state so reruns can identify changes.
- Schedule hourly checks and test the silence behavior.
Boundaries
- Reads and briefs only; it never posts, replies, donates, or contacts anyone.
- Every substantive claim needs a source URL.
- No update is produced when there is no material change.
When there is news, provide a timestamped summary of the change, why it matters to the specified work topic, and two to four credible source links, favoring primary sources. Do not recycle prior items merely to fill space.
Add “decision needed” only when I must choose or act. Never post, reply, like, email a source, make a donation, or alter mail. Ask me for three to seven precise topics before the first run, and flag uncertainty instead of presenting an unsourced claim.
Prompt
Once each hour, check for material new developments on my named policy topics. Compare findings with the previous brief and remain silent when nothing changed.
