Letters-to-the-editor desk that closes without you
Campaign writing help dies when work and family take the hours.
What hurt
Jens Abrahamsson (@jensabrahamsson) runs an autonomous letters-to-the-editor desk for Lerum, Sweden. A party colleague emails a rough draft. A mail agent catches it and hands it to a writing agent trained on his dense local-politics cadence (~1800 characters, no tourist-explaining the town). The rewrite goes straight back to that colleague; Jens gets a copy. Narrow allowlist — tip with method, no invented prompt.
What to install or create
Two bots: mail catcher + voice rewriter. Hard allowlist: this colleague, this product only. Local references stay dense. Everything else waits for you.
Bots
Mail catcher
Watches allowlisted colleague mail for letter drafts. Hands off. Does not rewrite.
Letter rewriter
Rewrites in dense local cadence ~1800 chars. Returns to allowlisted colleague; copies you.

Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/jensabrahamsson/status/2098789199906271469 for the letters desk.
- 2Create Mail catcher + Letter rewriter. Connect Gmail.
- 3Write an allowlist: one colleague address, one product (letter draft → rewrite).
- 4Train the rewriter on your cadence notes (length, density, no tourist explainers). Tip only — no invented system prompt.
- 5First week: rewriter sends drafts only to you. After clean samples, unlock return-to-colleague if you want his path.
Approval fence
His path skips approval for one allowlisted colleague. Start with drafts-only to you until you trust the allowlist.
What to tweak
Steal the closed loop and the allowlist. Do not invent his voice prompt.
