Add run-rent-a-human formula that lets any agent dispatch a human action
(post on Reddit, comment on HN, sign up for a service, etc.). Claude

# formulas/run-rent-a-human.toml — Draft human actions for one-click execution

|
# "Rent a Human" — when the factory needs a human to do something it can't
|
|
# (post on Reddit, sign up for a service, approve a payment, etc.), it drafts
|
|
# the action and notifies the human for one-click copy-paste execution.
|
|
#
|
|
# Trigger: action issue created by planner or any formula.
|
|
# The action-agent picks up the issue, executes these steps, writes a draft
|
|
# to vault/outreach/{platform}/drafts/, notifies the human via Matrix,
|
|
# and closes the issue.

# YAML front matter in the dispatching action issue:

Draft the content that a human will copy-paste onto {{platform}}.

1. Read the context provided: {{context}}
|
|
|
|
2. Determine the target destination:
|
|
- If {{target}} is provided, use it (e.g. r/autonomousAI, HN Show)
|
|
- If not, infer the best target from the context and platform
|
|
|
|
3. Draft the content based on platform={{platform}} and action_type={{action_type}}:
|
|
|
|
For reddit posts:
|
|
- Title: attention-grabbing but not clickbait, matches subreddit tone
|
|
- Body: conversational, authentic, includes relevant details
|
|
- No marketing-speak — write like a developer sharing their project
|
|
|
|
For hackernews posts:
|
|
- Title: factual, follows HN title conventions (Show HN: X — Y)
|
|
- Body/URL: concise description or link
|
|
|
|
For twitter/X:
|
|
- Tweet text: under 280 chars, engaging, no hashtag spam
|
|
- Thread format if content needs multiple tweets
|
|
|
|
For comments/replies:
|
|
- Natural, adds value to the conversation
|
|
- References the parent post/comment context
|
|
|
|
For signups/registrations:
|
|
- Step-by-step instructions for the human
|
|
- What information to enter, what options to select
|
|
|
|
For other platforms/actions:
|
|
- Adapt format to the platform conventions
|
|
- Always produce copy-paste-ready output
|
|
|
|
4. The draft MUST be ready to use with zero editing — the human should only
|
|
need to copy-paste. No placeholders like [INSERT X HERE].
|
|
|
|
5. Store the drafted content in environment variables for the next step:
|
|
DRAFT_TARGET="<target destination, e.g. r/autonomousAI>"
|
|
DRAFT_TITLE="<title if applicable>"
|
|
DRAFT_BODY="<body content>"
|
|
SLUG="<url-safe slug derived from title, e.g. ai-agent-factory>"
|
|
|
|
Write these to a temp file for the next step:
|
|
cat > /tmp/rent-a-human-draft.env << 'DRAFTEOF'
|
|
DRAFT_TARGET=<value>
|
|
DRAFT_TITLE=<value>
|
|
DRAFT_BODY=<value>

Write the drafted content to the outreach directory.
|
|
|
|
1. Read the draft from the temp file:
|
|
source /tmp/rent-a-human-draft.env
|
|
|
|
2. Create the output directory:
|
|
DRAFT_DIR="${PROJECT_REPO_ROOT}/vault/outreach/{{platform}}/drafts"
|
|
mkdir -p "$DRAFT_DIR"
|
|
|
|
3. Generate the filename:
|
|
DATE=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
|
|
DRAFT_FILE="${DRAFT_DIR}/${DATE}-${SLUG}.md"
|
|
|
|
4. Write the draft file in the standard format:
|
|
|
|
# ${DRAFT_TARGET}
|
|
<!-- platform: {{platform}} -->
|
|
<!-- action: {{action_type}} -->
|
|
<!-- status: DRAFT -->

|
## Title
|
|
${DRAFT_TITLE}
|
|
|
|
## Body
|
|
${DRAFT_BODY}
|
|
|
|
The file must contain ONLY copy-paste-ready content under the Title and
|
|
Body headings. No instructions, no meta-commentary inside those sections.
|
|
|
|
5. Verify the file was written:
|
|
cat "$DRAFT_FILE"
|
|
|
|
6. Stage and commit the draft:
|
|
cd "$PROJECT_REPO_ROOT"
|
|
git add "$DRAFT_FILE"
|
|
|
|
7. Save the file path and title for the notification step:
|
|
echo "$DRAFT_FILE" > /tmp/rent-a-human-path
|
|
echo "$DRAFT_TITLE" > /tmp/rent-a-human-title
|
|
|

8. Clean up the temp env file:

4. Clean up temp files:
|
|
rm -f /tmp/rent-a-human-path /tmp/rent-a-human-title
