Auto Content

Pro plugin feature. A directive-driven blog post generator: write a Claude prompt once, pick daily time slots, and the plugin drafts (or publishes) SEO-friendly articles on autopilot. Internal tracker prevents repeated topics. Every draft runs through the editor pass before you see it.

Where to find it

Newsletter → Auto Content. The menu entry only appears once the pro plugin is active.

The directive

The single most important field. It is the full Claude prompt used for every generation. A starter is pre-filled based on your site name and tagline — edit it heavily.

A good directive specifies

• Topic categories Claude can pick from (a curated list of beats your site covers)
• Headline rules (length, voice, what to avoid)
• Article rules (word count, structure, allowed HTML tags, voice)
• Banned content (anything off-brand or risky — internal codenames, competitor mentions, certain phrasings)
• Output format — a strict JSON schema. The plugin parses these keys: title, slug, excerpt, body_html, category

The starter directive in the box already includes the JSON schema rules — keep them. Edit the topic and voice sections to match your site.

Daily time slots

Comma-separated HH:MM in your site timezone. 09:00, 14:00, 19:00 generates three articles per day at those times. One slot per day fires once per day — the transient guard stops the same slot double-firing.

Leave the field empty to disable scheduled generation. You can still use the Generate now button below.

Approval mode

• Save as draft, email me to review (default) — every generated article lands in Posts as a draft. The site admin gets an email with the title and an Edit link. Strongly recommended for the first month while you tune the directive.
• Publish automatically — articles go live immediately. Use only after the directive is dialled in and several drafts in a row read well.

Default category & author

The category Claude returns is added on top of the default category if both are set. Author is who the post is attributed to in WP — pick a real user (administrator, editor, or author role).

Run editor pass

On by default. After Claude generates the article, the editor pass runs a second Claude call with a strict JSON find/replace rubric. It auto-applies every confident edit to the draft (grammar, tone fixes, redundancy, cliché swaps, duplicate CTA removal). Judgment-call flags are stored on the post for you to see.

Anti-duplication tracker

The plugin keeps the most recent 50 generated articles (date, title, category) in an option. Every Claude call sends this list as RECENT_ARTICLES context with instructions not to repeat category or close topics. Without this, every generation tends to drift toward the same handful of “obvious” topics.

Recommended first-use flow

1. Leave defaults for everything except the directive.
2. Edit the directive — set your topic categories, voice rules, banned content.
3. Click Generate now. Watch a draft appear in Posts.
4. Read the draft. If voice or focus is off, edit the directive to be more specific. Repeat.
5. Once two or three manual generations look good, set time slots, leave Approval = draft.
6. Watch a week of drafts. If they consistently work, switch Approval to publish.

Cost

Each article generation runs through the Claude API and (if editor pass is on) a second Claude call. Cost is per-token via your console.anthropic.com account — typically ~$0.05–0.20 per article depending on length. Three articles per day on the default settings is roughly $0.15–0.60 per day.
