Use this workflow when you need a complete newsletter draft built from approved topics and sources.

The approved inputs listed on this page
Only the files, sources, and services required for this run
No sending, publishing, spending, or live-system changes without approval
Run the first version one step at a time
Give one Bot the complete job
Use one Bot for the first run. Add a specialist only when the job becomes complicated enough to need a separate role, different access, or independent review.

Set it up in Hermes Desktop
Begin with one Bot and one manual run
Open the linked starter page, download its .tar.gz profile, and import it from the Profiles screen in Hermes Desktop.
Review the profile’s SOUL.md, Bot Passport, and requested access.
