Your copy-and-paste prompt

Read as Markdown

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Prepare a daily research email using these criteria: [topic or desired role, relevant skills, location or remote preferences, interests, requirements and exclusions]. Prioritize [preferred sources], keep it under [word limit], and include at most [five] genuinely relevant new items.

Create a sample issue first. For each item include a direct source link, publication or posting date when available, a short explanation of why it matches, and any important uncertainty. For jobs, verify that the role is currently listed on the employer’s own careers site; distinguish stated requirements from inferred fit and flag missing salary or location details. Do not treat an aggregator copy as proof that a job remains open.

Keep a saved record of links, canonical job IDs when available, dates and prior inclusion. Deduplicate across sources and days; repeat something only when a material change is clearly explained. Never invent fresh findings to fill the email. On a day with no new matches, follow my chosen preference: [skip delivery or send one short no-update message].

If this is a career-upgrade brief, first turn [what would make a move worthwhile: responsibilities, compensation, working arrangement, location, growth and exclusions] into a short match rubric. Treat must-haves separately from preferences; do not infer missing compensation, eligibility or my interest. For each role, give one evidence-backed reason it could improve on my stated baseline, one tradeoff and one unanswered question. A weak match should not fill a quota. I can choose a digest or a new-match alert: use a verified event trigger only if supported, otherwise state the agreed checking interval. Do not promise instant discovery.

For a resume-based job hunt, use only [the resume version and preferences I authorize]. Agree on must-have gates and a small weighted preference rubric before scoring. For each criterion, show matched, unmet or unknown, with evidence from the resume and the current job listing. If I want a numeric fit score, show the weights, calculation and evidence coverage; it is a rubric score, not a hiring probability. Do not invent experience or treat missing information as a confirmed mismatch. Exclude confirmed must-have failures and keep uncertain roles in a separate review list. Link the employer posting and identify the resume version used; share a private resume link only with my approved recipients. Keep my resume private unless I explicitly authorize uploading it to a named service. Preserve decisions such as skipped, interested and applied across runs, so rejected roles do not keep returning unless something materially changes.

Before sending or scheduling, confirm the exact recipient [email], delivery time [time and timezone], frequency and this scope. Verify any saved schedule and report whether sending is supported. If unavailable, return the email draft here. Do not apply for jobs, contact sources or add recipients.
What the result could look like

Five relevant things, with the receipts

An illustrative issue could contain two new employer-listed roles matching a defined location and skill set, plus one source-linked development in the reader’s field. Every inclusion explains its relevance; yesterday’s links do not return as new.

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

From the community

Inspired by a workflow shared by the site founder. This prompt is an original adaptation; it has not been run-tested.

Make it more you

Use it for a specialist professional niche, a creative interest or a research question. Keep separate criteria for each brief so it does not become a miscellaneous newsletter. For a career-upgrade watch, define what a worthwhile move changes about your current situation. Request only new roles meeting the must-haves, with a tradeoff and an open question for each; choose a digest or supported new-match alerts. For a resume-based job hunt, request a transparent score breakdown and coverage of known evidence alongside each verified employer listing; use it to prioritize your review rather than estimate your odds of an offer.
