NicheStarter Weekly Report Preview#

Purpose#

Turn the latest weekly pain-point report into a short, trustworthy teaser:

• Brief summary aligned with report.summary and report.report_title
• Top 5 pain points (title, short description, optional source + insight link)
• Clear CTA: sign in for the full report and subscribe free for weekly email (Mondays)

Data source (API-first)#

Fetch:

• GET https://www.nichestarter.ai/api/public/weekly-report-preview

No authentication. Response includes report, top_pain_points (5), and cta with URLs.

If the API returns 404, say no report is published yet and point to https://www.nichestarter.ai to explore insights or sign up.

Workflow#

1. Call the preview endpoint and read report, top_pain_points, cta.
2. Write a 2–4 sentence executive brief (no hype, no invented stats).
3. List exactly five items when present: rank, title, one-line why it matters, optional primary_source_url, insight_url.
4. Add CTA block:
   • Full report: sign in → Dashboard → Weekly Reports ( cta.dashboard_weekly_reports_url or https://www.nichestarter.ai/dashboard#weeklyreport)
   • Free weekly email: subscribe on the site ( cta.message + cta.website)
5. Do not promise paid-only features to free users; use neutral wording (“see full list and features after sign-in”).

Output format#

Rules#

• English unless the user asks otherwise.
• Do not fabricate pain points, rankings, or subscriber counts.
• Do not expose internal env vars or non-public APIs.
• Treat content as community signal, not guaranteed demand.

Scheduled delivery (cron / OpenClaw / other agents)#

Use this skill on a fixed schedule so users get the same structure every week.

When to run#

• Default: once per week on Monday, after your platform’s weekly report is published (align with NicheStarter’s “Monday” weekly email messaging).
• Pick one timezone (e.g. America/New_York 08:00) and keep it stable for recipients.

Cron / scheduler setup (conceptual)#

1. Configure the host (OpenClaw, GitHub Actions, cron, n8n, etc.) to trigger one job per week.
2. Job steps:
   • GET https://www.nichestarter.ai/api/public/weekly-report-preview
   • If 404 or empty top_pain_points: send a short fallback (“No new weekly report yet — check https://www.nichestarter.ai”).
   • Else: follow Workflow and Delivery style below, then send via your channel (email, DM, Slack, etc.).
3. Deduplication: persist the last sent report.id from the JSON. If the next run returns the same report.id, skip sending (avoids double-send if cron overlaps).
4. Retries: on 5xx, retry with backoff; do not fabricate content if the API never succeeds.

Delivery style (proper format for end users)#

Apply the same structure whether the message is email, chat, or push:

• Subject / first line (email or thread):

  NicheStarter — Weekly pain points · [YYYY-MM-DD] or use report.report_title shortened to ~60 characters.

• Opening: one line context: “Here’s this week’s snapshot from community discussions (teaser).”

• Body: use the Output format section (headings, numbered top 5, bullets for links).

• Links: use full https:// URLs from cta and each insight_url / primary_source_url (plain text, one URL per line in chat clients if line-wrapping breaks).

• Tone: calm, practical, no hype; no emojis required (optional single ✉️ or 📊 if the channel expects it).

• Length: keep under ~400 words for email; under ~2500 characters for SMS-style limits if applicable.

• Footer: always include cta.website and one line: sign in for full report + free weekly subscription on the site.

OpenClaw (or similar agent) prompt snippet#

When scheduling the agent, attach this skill and use a user task like:

text

Run the NicheStarter weekly report preview skill.
Fetch the API, build the digest using the Output format and Delivery style sections,
then send it to [recipient / channel] with subject line as specified.
If report.id matches [last_sent_report_id], reply only "Skipped (already sent)."

Store last_sent_report_id in OpenClaw memory, a small file, or your workflow state.
