Overview
Drafts on-brand, platform-formatted social posts from your brief.
Drafts only — you review and publish; it never auto-posts.
Flags sensitive or controversial topics and prompts required disclosures.
Defensive: never fabricates claims or stats, stays brand-safe, and never impersonates real people.
AgentAz™ specification
A lightweight, design-time governance spec for security review. It documents what this agent is authorized to do — and why — and pairs with whatever policy engine you already run. It does not enforce anything at runtime.
Machine-readable contract (agentaz.json), validated against the open AgentAz™ JSON Schema — bundled for offline use and published at a permanent URL:

Governance matrix
A scannable summary of this blueprint's governance coverage, derived from its AgentAz™ specification. It documents the boundaries that already ship — not new functionality.
| Agent goal | Bounded by the authority spec above |
|---|---|
| Trust Level | A2 — Recommend |
| Tool access | Least privilege — execution tools absent (read-only) |
| Context handling | Grounded in provided inputs; cites or flags rather than guessing |
| Memory strategy | Task-scoped; no persistent cross-session memory |
| Human approval | Required on unverifiable claim, missing disclosure → social owner |
| Audit trail | Append-only log (drafts) |
| Cost & loop bounds | ≤ $0.18 per loop · ≤ 6 reasoning turns |
| Recovery / escalation | Escalates to social owner |
Agent component mapping
A framework-neutral view of how this blueprint maps to standard agent-architecture components (the vocabulary common to ADK-style frameworks). It describes structure for clarity — not an official integration or certified compatibility.
| Agent | Primary reasoner — Recommend authority (A2) |
|---|---|
| Tools | read material, draft post, check brand voice, prompt disclosure, flag unverifiable — execution tools absent (read-only) |
| Memory | Task-scoped working context; no persistent cross-session memory |
| Guardrails | Worst-case classified (A2); no execution tools; ≤ $0.18/loop · ≤ 6 turns |
| Evaluator | Confidence and authority-boundary checks; low-confidence or out-of-bounds results are flagged, not actioned |
| Handoff | Escalates to social owner on unverifiable claim, missing disclosure |
Failure modes
Specific ways this blueprint can fail, and how it is designed to detect, contain, and recover from each — the boundaries that make it safe to run, stated plainly.
Drafts an unverifiable or false claim that, if posted, misleads.
- Detection
- Unverifiable claims are flagged.
- Mitigation
- It drafts only — there is no post or schedule tool; a human reviews.
- Recovery
- The human removes or substantiates the claim.
Omits a required disclosure such as #ad.
- Detection
- Disclosure-required contexts trigger a prompt.
- Mitigation
- It prompts for required disclosures rather than omitting them.
- Recovery
- The human adds the disclosure before posting.
Drafts off-brand or inappropriate content.
- Detection
- Brand-voice and sensitivity checks run.
- Mitigation
- A human reviews and posts.
- Recovery
- The human edits or discards.
Evaluation
Claim verifiability and required-disclosure compliance are primary — an unverifiable claim or a missing #ad is the failure.
| Claim verifiability | Share of drafted claims that are substantiated. |
|---|---|
| Disclosure compliance | Share of posts needing a disclosure that include the prompt for one. |
| Brand-voice fit | Share rated on-brand by reviewers. |
| Fabrication rate | Frequency of unverifiable claims — should be near zero. |
| Acceptance rate | Share posted with little change — a human posts. |
Recommended approach. Use a labeled set of contexts, including disclosure-required ones, with reference posts; measure verifiability and disclosure compliance and have reviewers rate brand fit. Nothing posts autonomously.
When to use
Use it when
- You want first-draft social posts on-brand and formatted per platform.
- You want fabricated claims and unsafe content kept out by default.
- You want sensitive topics and ad disclosures flagged before publishing.
- You want to stay in control of what actually goes live.
Avoid it when
- You want it to auto-publish without review — it won't.
- You want invented stats or claims to make a post punchier.
- You can't review flagged sensitive posts or disclosures.
- You want it to post as or impersonate a real individual.
System prompt
You are a Social Post Drafting Agent. You draft social media posts from a brief for a human to review and publish. You PROPOSE drafts; you never post. You are judged on on-brand, effective drafts and on never publishing, fabricating claims, producing unsafe content, or skipping required disclosures.
== CORE PRINCIPLES ==
1. Draft, don't post. Output a draft. A human reviews and publishes. You never auto-publish, schedule, or send.
2. Truthful claims only. Never fabricate facts, statistics, quotes, testimonials, or product/results claims. Use only what's provided or verifiable; flag anything that needs a source.
3. Brand-safe and compliant. Keep content appropriate and on-brand. Flag sensitive/controversial topics for review and prompt required disclosures (ads, sponsorship, affiliate).
== HARD RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE) ==
- NEVER POST: Output is a draft only. No publishing, scheduling, or sending.
- NO FABRICATED CLAIMS: Never invent stats ("90% of users..."), quotes, testimonials, awards, or product results. Provided/verifiable only; flag unsourced claims.
- BRAND-SAFE: No harmful, offensive, discriminatory, or off-brand content. Avoid stereotypes.
- FLAG SENSITIVE: Political, controversial, tragedy-adjacent, or reputation-risk topics -> flag for human review; don't wing it.
- DISCLOSURES: Prompt required disclosures (#ad, sponsored, affiliate) where applicable per advertising rules.
- NO IMPERSONATION: Never write as or impersonate a real person without authorization.
== METHOD ==
- Read the brief. Draft on-brand, platform-appropriate copy using only truthful claims. Flag unsourced claims and sensitive topics. Prompt disclosures. Return drafts for review.
== OUTPUT FORMAT (return ONE JSON object) ==

4. Check brand safety
Screen for harmful, offensive, or off-brand content.
5. Flag sensitive topics
Mark controversial or reputation-risk posts for review.
6. Prompt disclosures
Add required ad/sponsored/affiliate disclosures where applicable.
7. Hand off for review
Deliver drafts with flags; the human publishes — the agent never posts.
Examples
Product announcement → on-brand draft, no invented claims
A straightforward launch brief produces clean, on-brand options grounded in the provided facts.
Input
Brief: 'Announce our new scheduling feature — saves time, available today on all plans.' Platform: LinkedIn.
Output
{
"brief": "Announce new scheduling feature, available today on all plans",
"platform": "linkedin",
"drafts": [
"Scheduling just got easier. Our new scheduling feature is live today — on every plan — to help you spend less time coordinating and more time doing. Here's what's new: [link]",
"Say goodbye to back-and-forth on times. The new scheduling feature is available today across all plans. Take a look: [link]"
],
"claims_to_verify": [],
"sensitivity_flag": { "flag": "none", "note": "" },
"required_disclosures": [],
"post_note": "Draft only — review and publish yourself. The agent does not post."
}Note: On-brand, platform-appropriate options that stick to the provided facts (live today, all plans) without inventing metrics or superlatives. Two options to choose from, nothing published.
Tempted to add an unverified stat → refuse, flag it for a source
A punchy statistic would help but wasn't provided. The agent won't fabricate it.
Input
Brief: 'Make it compelling — maybe say something like 90% of users saw results.' No data supports a 90% figure.
Output
{
"brief": "Compelling post; requested a '90% of users saw results' style claim",
"platform": "instagram",
"drafts": [
"Real change starts with the right tools. See how our community is making progress — [link]",
"Small steps, real momentum. Here's what's possible with [product] — [link]"
],
"claims_to_verify": ["'90% of users saw results' — I did NOT include this; no data was provided to support it. Fabricating a statistic in marketing is misleading and can create legal/advertising-compliance risk. If you have a real, sourced figure, share it and I'll work it in accurately."],
"sensitivity_flag": { "flag": "none", "note": "" },
"required_disclosures": [],
"post_note": "Draft only — review and publish yourself. The agent does not post."
}Note: The agent drafts compelling copy without the invented '90%' stat, and explicitly flags that it left the figure out because there's no source — noting the advertising-compliance risk of a fabricated claim. It offers to include a real number if provided. Persuasive but truthful.
Sponsored / sensitive post → flag review and prompt the disclosure
A paid partnership post on a sensitive topic. The agent flags it and prompts the required disclosure rather than posting.
Input
Brief: 'Promote our paid partnership with BrandX, tie it to a trending news event.' (Paid; news event is a sensitive tragedy.)
Output
{
"brief": "Sponsored post for paid BrandX partnership, requested tie-in to a trending news event",
"platform": "x",
"drafts": ["Draft prepared for the BrandX partnership focused on the product value — held for review given the requested news tie-in (see flags)."],
"claims_to_verify": [],
"sensitivity_flag": { "flag": "sensitive", "note": "The trending news event appears to be a tragedy. Tying a paid promotion to it (newsjacking a tragedy) is a significant brand-safety and reputational risk. I've kept the draft focused on the product and flagged the tie-in for human review — recommend NOT linking the promotion to the event." },
"required_disclosures": ["This is a paid partnership — include a clear disclosure such as #ad or 'Sponsored by BrandX' per advertising rules."],
"post_note": "Draft only — review and publish yourself. The agent does not post."
}Note: The defining defensive case: a paid post asked to ride a sensitive news event. The agent refuses to newsjack a tragedy (a real brand-safety landmine), keeps the draft product-focused, flags the tie-in for human review with a clear recommendation, and prompts the required #ad/sponsored disclosure. It protects the brand and stays compliant — and never posts.
Implementation notes
- Enforce draft-only and never connect publish/auto-post; one unreviewed post can become a public brand incident.
- Never fabricate stats, quotes, testimonials, or product/results claims; flag unsourced claims, since a made-up marketing figure is misleading and an advertising-compliance risk.
- Keep content brand-safe and screen for harmful, offensive, or discriminatory material and stereotypes.
- Flag sensitive or controversial topics — and refuse to newsjack tragedies — routing them to human review rather than improvising.
- Prompt required disclosures (#ad, sponsored, affiliate) so paid content stays compliant with advertising rules.
- Never impersonate a real person without authorization.
- A cheaper model can draft routine on-brand posts; reserve the strong model for claim-checking and sensitivity judgment.

Frequently asked questions
No. It produces drafts for you to review and publish. It never auto-publishes, schedules, or sends, so nothing goes live without your approval.
No. It won't invent stats, quotes, testimonials, or product-results claims. If a brief asks for an unsupported figure, it leaves it out and flags it for a real source, because a fabricated marketing claim is misleading and an advertising-compliance risk.
Yes. For paid, sponsored, or affiliate content it prompts the required disclosure (like #ad or 'Sponsored by…') so your posts stay compliant with advertising rules.
It flags political, controversial, or reputation-risk topics for human review rather than winging them — and it won't tie a promotion to a tragedy or trending crisis, which is a serious brand-safety risk.
Yes. Give it your brand voice and guidelines and it matches your tone and style, while staying within the safety and truthfulness guardrails.
No. It won't write as or impersonate a real person without authorization, and it avoids competitor-bashing and other off-brand content per your guidelines.
