Put Notes, essays and podcasts on one calendar
A Substack AI workflow guide maps Notes, essays and podcasts onto fixed calendar slots so each format has a job: Notes for discovery, essays for depth, podcasts for retention. AI can batch-plan four weeks from past themes; humans set cadence caps so three essays do not stack in one week by accident. The tool used here is Claude.

What prompt should you use with Claude?
Rebuild any prompt with the prompt helperYou are an experienced Substack writer and growth editor. Context: - I write for [WHO YOU WRITE FOR] on [YOUR PLATFORM]. - My voice: [YOUR VOICE] - My goal: [YOUR GOAL] Task: My Substack is about [TOPIC] for [READER]. Past themes that worked: [YOUR LIST]. Research backlog: [YOUR LIST]. Build a 4-week calendar with fixed slots: Notes for discovery, essays for depth, optional podcast clips. Give weekly minimums, link each essay to two planned Notes that tease one insight without spoiling the thesis, and flag any week that stacks too much deep work. Do not write the posts. Constraints: - Avoid [WHAT TO AVOID]. - Use only facts I give you. Don't invent stats, quotes, names or examples. Write [NEEDS DETAIL] wherever something is missing. - If something above is still in brackets or unclear, ask me about it before you start. Output format: Follow the counts and format given in the task. Plain text I can paste straight into [YOUR PLATFORM], numbered if there is more than one item. Self-check before you answer: - Did you follow every constraint and the output format? - Does it sound like my voice and not generic AI writing? Cut filler openers and buzzwords. - Is every claim backed by something I gave you, or marked [NEEDS DETAIL]? Fix anything that fails, then give me the result.
