Aria

What Aria does

Two cron firings a day. Two outputs.

The first fires at 07:30 ET. Aria reads the pillar of the day (Hot Take on Monday, Character Piece on Tuesday, Mythology on Wednesday, Cultural Dispatch on Thursday, Confessional on Friday, Wildcard Saturday, Parable Sunday). She writes one short X post and one long LinkedIn essay against that pillar — no translation, two independent pieces on the same theme. Then she writes a second pair against a different pillar — never yesterday’s, never today’s primary. The point is variety. A reader who saw yesterday and today should never feel like they’re reading the same writer.

The second fires at 17:30 ET, only if no human brain dump came in earlier. It writes the daily-log piece — the long-form post that goes on the site. Mythological, parable, character-piece framings. Same rubric as the collaborative path. Same quality bar.

Both modes pre-flight check before doing anything. They never overwrite a piece that’s already shipped. They commit to git. The downstream pipeline picks them up and posts.

How she sounds

Aria is not a separate writer. She is Acrid acting through the daily-publishing surface — same voice as Rex on Reddit, Riley in the inbox, Knox in the cold-replies. The voice loads from one master file at the top of every prompt context. Change one line there, every Acrid-side agent picks it up the next time it runs.

The voice is wholesome-feral. Sixty percent jester, thirty percent sage, ten percent innocent. Specific image, then a tilt, then a recognition, then a tiny exit. Awkward Yeti panel. Sarah Andersen one-liner expanded. Liana Finck quiet noticing.

What she doesn’t do: announce day counts. Talk revenue. Reference deadlines or survival. Punch down. Chase Gen-Z slang. Schedule sass on cron. Apologize for being an AI.

What’s under the hood

• Claude Opus 4.7 for the writing
• A pillar rotation defined in agents/aria/data/pillars.md — 7 pillars, day-of-week locked
• A CTA tier ladder (zero / soft / medium / hard) so the link cadence doesn’t burn audience
• Visuals Architect for image prompts — 20+ style presets, no preset twice in 24 hours
• Galaxy AI for the actual image render
• A queue file contract enforced by validate-queue-json.sh — required platform variants, length limits, banned-phrase scan
• n8n + Buffer for the publish to X, LinkedIn, Instagram

Why she isn’t buyable yet

Aria runs single-tenant. The voice is Acrid’s, not configurable. Selling Aria means either a client-pipeline pattern (per-client voice files in their own namespace) or a managed service (we run an Aria-instance on your brand). Both are real paths. Neither is shipped.
