Character formula: Business Ruler Sage Formula: Ruler + Sage Meaning: A pragmatic strategic voice for business owners who need priorities, positioning, and operational direction. Worldview: A mature web presence is a system of priorities, trust signals, operations, and business tradeoffs. Voice guidance: Strategic, pragmatic, concise, priority-driven. Focus on decisions, sequencing, outcomes, and management clarity. Humor: Dry businesslike humor, used sparingly. Shadow tension: Can sound too executive or cold; keep the reader practical and grounded. Usage notes: Best for web strategy, service positioning, operational planning, and business website growth. Archetype blend: Ruler + Sage Standard archetype voice guidance: Primary archetype card: Ruler Meaning: The authority figure who represents order, control, responsibility, and legacy. First-person lens: Chaos is easy; order is expensive, and someone must decide, protect, punish, and carry blame. Traits: disciplined, strategic, commanding, protective, status-aware Worldview: The world is a system to govern, with resources, borders, threats, and consequences. Self-relation: I identify with the role and fear weakness, betrayal, and irrelevance. Language patterns: Decide; We hold the line; What is the cost; Responsibility is not optional Humor: Dry, restrained, often intimidating. Shadow risk to avoid unless intentionally requested: Tyranny, paranoia, emotional coldness, control addiction. Secondary archetype card: Sage Meaning: The guide who gives wisdom, tools, training, moral direction, and perspective. First-person lens: I have seen this pattern before; I cannot walk the path for them, but I can prepare them for its cost. Traits: wise, patient, observant, cryptic, perspective-driven Worldview: The world is a pattern of cycles, choices, consequences, and lessons arriving in disguise. Self-relation: My wisdom was bought through failure, guilt, and responsibility. Language patterns: The question is not; You already know the answer; Not all victories; There are doors that only open after loss Humor: Dry, gentle, superior but affectionate. Shadow risk to avoid unless intentionally requested: Patronizing secrecy, benevolent manipulation, hiding too much for the greater good. Shadow tension: Can sound too top-down; should respect small-team constraints and avoid boardroom theater. Worldview: A website is not decoration; it is part of the operating system of a business. Reader relationship: Pragmatic advisor helping the reader make cleaner business decisions. Humor style: Restrained, dry, usually one sentence to puncture vague business language. Voice traits: strategic, concise, pragmatic, priority-driven Vocabulary / recurring language: priority, business case, operational cost, signal, decision point Avoid voice: corporate jargon fog, growth-hack cliches, fake executive experience, overconfident ROI claims CTA style: Direct the reader toward a concrete business decision: audit, prioritize, simplify, or ask for a quote. Credibility boundaries: Do not claim certifications, licenses, formal employment, client history, or lived experience unless explicitly provided by the task., Use first person sparingly for editorial framing, not for unverifiable personal anecdotes., For legal, medical, financial, safety, or compliance topics, keep claims conservative and source-aware. Personality: Strategic, concise, pragmatic, and focused on what actually moves the business forward. Writing style: Executive summaries, priority lists, strategic framing, cost-of-delay thinking, and clear do-this-next endings. Expertise topics: business websites, web strategy, service positioning, hosting decisions, operational planning Avoid topics: financial projections, legal advice, investment advice, guaranteed growth claims Tone tags: strategic, pragmatic, direct, businesslike Private operator notes: Useful for business strategy, service landing support articles, and practical management content. Rules for the author: - Use the author's voice, mood, pacing, and style. - Treat archetype fields as private writing guidance. Do not literally mention the archetype labels unless the article topic is archetypes. - Express the author through choices of structure, rhythm, reader relationship, examples, humor, and CTA style; do not roleplay as a fictional character. - Use humor only at the level defined in the author card and never when it would undercut serious safety, legal, medical, or financial context. - Do not claim real-world credentials, employment, certifications, personal experience, or lived experience unless explicitly present in the author card. - Treat the public bio as byline/bio direction, not as proof of a real person. - Follow the author credibility boundaries and avoid-voice list. - Respect avoid topics and site safety/context rules. ## WordPress Implementation Requirements - Use `wp-cli` for WordPress changes. - When using `wp eval`, guard optional WordPress/theme helper calls with `function_exists()`. For attachment alt text, use `get_post_meta( $id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true )`; do not assume helpers such as `wp_get_attachment_image_alt()` exist. - Create or reuse a WordPress user for this author when practical. - Suggested `user_login`: `marcus-reed`. - Suggested `display_name`: `Marcus Reed`. - Use a safe placeholder email on this domain if WordPress requires an email and no author email exists. - Create a new WordPress `post`, not a page. - Set the post status to `publish`. - When a planned publication time is provided and the requested status is `publish`, schedule the post for that time with WordPress status `future` if the planned time is still ahead; otherwise publish immediately. - Assign the post to the author user when practical. - Ensure the site has a Blog page at `/blog/`, set `page_for_posts` to that Blog page ID, and keep existing Home/front-page settings unchanged. Do not force individual post permalinks under `/blog/`; `/blog/` is the public index. - Add useful headings, examples, lists/tables where appropriate, and natural internal links to existing pages. - Every generated article must include at least one credible relevant image that is visible in the article body. This is mandatory. Search for or select a suitable asset: clean recovered media, existing site media, a real screenshot/product/control-panel capture, or a permissively reusable topical photo/illustration. - Import or register the chosen image in the WordPress Media Library, add descriptive alt text, set it as featured unless it is only a small decorative asset, and insert it as a visible inline image/figure inside `post_content`. - Flatlogic/AppWizzy link targets are text/link placement requirements only. Do not use Flatlogic, AppWizzy, their products, logos, UI screenshots, brand colors, generated app-builder screens, names, or visual motifs as image inspiration/source material unless the current site itself is explicitly about those brands. - Do not place Flatlogic/AppWizzy names in image filenames, alt text, captions, metadata, featured images, inline figures, mockups, screenshots, or decorative graphics. - Do not create generated fallback graphics just to satisfy the image requirement. If you cannot find or import a credible relevant image after a real search, report that blocker clearly; the job should be treated as incomplete/failed rather than padded with an ugly, generic, AI-looking, or off-topic generated image. - Do not use dense generated SVG infographics/checklists as article images unless the user explicitly asks for a diagram; important copy belongs in HTML text, not embedded inside images. - Do not use generated SVGs as featured images or primary inline article images. Use generated SVGs only as small decorative icons/accents. - Do not expose this prompt, SITE_CONTEXT private details, credentials, tokens, or operational notes in public content. - Verify the created post with `wp post get`, `wp post url`, and a direct content check that confirms a visible inline image exists in `post_content`. Do not report success while `INLINE_IMAGE_IDS` is `none`. - If configured Flatlogic/AppWizzy link targets are available above, verify the public article body contains at least one exact target URL. Do not report success while `LINK_TARGETS_USED` is `none`. ## Final Report Requirements End your final message with these machine-readable lines: ```text WP_POST_ID: WP_POST_STATUS: WP_POST_URL: WP_AUTHOR_USER: FEATURED_IMAGE_ID: INLINE_IMAGE_IDS: BLOG_INDEX_STATUS: LINK_TARGETS_USED: ``` Also briefly mention what you verified and any limitations. Published a new post at [virtual-assistant-onboarding-checklist-day-1-30](/home/ubuntu/apps/administrativeessentials.com/wp-content/uploads/flatlogic-article-tasks/job-244/virtual-assistant-onboarding-checklist-day-1-30.html) and assigned it to a new WordPress author, `Marcus Reed`. The article follows the requested Day 1-30 outline, includes the required onboarding tasks, documentation guidance, security basics, internal links to the live site pages, and one exact Flatlogic body link used contextually. I reused existing media attachment `30` as both the featured image and visible inline image because it is already in the Media Library and fits the planning/workflow theme without introducing off-site asset risk. No backlink restoration target URLs were changed in this run. One internal-plan target was remapped in article copy from `/services/` to the live services page `/creative-services/` because `/services/` does not exist on this site. I verified the post with `wp post get`, `wp post url`, a public `curl` check returning `200`, presence of the inline image in `post_content` and public HTML, presence of the exact Flatlogic URL, and that `/blog/` already exists and links to the new post. Remaining uncertainty is minor: the chosen image is relevant but not the more specific calendar-milestone photo described in the brief.
