Every morning you read the report, make three decisions in your head, and then carry them out by hand. What if you could just answer it? We update the daily report so each needs-attention item ends with the agent's recommendation and a checklist of choices, plus a notes line, and we add a catch-all rule to AGENTS.md so any line starting with your initials is an instruction. Then process-inbound gets a new first step: read the latest report, carry out whatever you answered, and stamp it done. We answer the report three different ways in a plain text editor, wait for the hourly run, and open the three files that changed. This is how you approve or fix anything the assistant drafts, without opening a terminal or writing a prompt.
What's covered:
- Making the report answerable: recommendation, checklist, notes
- The initials catch-all rule in AGENTS.md
- The executor step: read the report, act, stamp it done, log it
- Answering three ways: a bare tick, a tick with a note, a loose scribble
- What the next hourly run did: a deal closed, a draft revised, a date moved
- How drafts get approved or revised without ever being sent from the repo
- Human in the loop as a two-way surface, not an approval queue
