What problem does it solve?
Manual beat reporting for content desks is time-consuming and error-prone, requiring researchers to collect editorial signals, identify coverage gaps, and produce actionable cards. This Skill streamlines the workflow so teams can produce timely, accurate regional beat cards with minimal friction.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automates processing of pending editorial requests and prioritizes topics based on coverage gaps across categories such as weather-tides, fishing-reports, activities-events, maintenance-care, safety-regulations, routes-navigation, and wildlife-nature.
- Orchestrates research with firecrawl, extracts key data (dates, locations, names), and creates styled, publication-ready cards that can be fulfilled against desk requests.
- Supports desk updates by pushing new microlocations and marinas when discoveries emerge, and enforces card verification before publishing.
Quick Start
Start by configuring your desk region and running a pending editorial requests query to begin generating beat cards.
