## Process

1. **Determine the subject**
   - Use the current day of week to select from the schedule
   - If Sunday, ask the user which subject to generate
   - User may override by specifying a subject

2. **Read subject-specific guidance**
   - Read `<subject-directory>/SUBJECT.md` for search terms, priority sources, and emphasis areas

3. **Research the past week (be efficient)**
   - Run 3-4 WebSearches in parallel using search terms from SUBJECT.md
   - Cover the 7 days ending yesterday
   - WebSearch summaries contain substantial detail—use them directly
   - Do NOT run additional search rounds; 3-4 searches is sufficient

4. **Select the best 10 items** from search results based on:
   - Future and technology positive framing
   - College graduate sophistication (substantive, not dumbed down)
   - Lay interest appropriate (accessible to educated non-specialists)
   - Importance OR novelty to the field

5. **Write from search summaries**
   - Search result summaries contain enough detail for 3-5 paragraph synopses
   - Only use WebFetch for 2-3 items max where critical detail is missing
   - Skip any WebFetch that fails (403, paywall, etc.)—do not retry
   - Omit images rather than searching for them; include only if URL is in search results

6. **Write the article**
   - Filename: `<subject-directory>/<subject>-MMDDYYYY.md` (e.g., `ai-03092026.md`)
   - Format:

```markdown
# [Subject] Weekly Review - [Start Date] to [End Date]

## Week In Review

[2-4 paragraphs synthesizing the week's themes and interconnections]

References to articles use format: [Article Title](url)

Explain how the items relate to each other and their collective significance to the field.

## Items

### [Item Title]

```

7. **Save the article**
   - Write to the appropriate subject directory
   - Confirm completion with the filename

## Writing Style

- Substantive and informative
- Accessible to educated generalists
- No hype or clickbait framing
- Optimistic but grounded tone
- Connect items to broader trends and implications
