# Content Publishing Policy SOP

**STATUS: MANDATORY — ALL MARKETING AGENTS MUST FOLLOW**
**Last Updated: 2026-04-15 by Steve (confirmed multiple times)**

## Rule

**ALL content publishing on ALL platforms must be done manually by Steve. No exceptions.**

## What Agents CAN Do
- Research trends and topics
- Write drafts and create content
- Generate visual assets
- Format content for specific platforms
- Deliver finished content packages to Steve via Slack (`reply-slack`)

## What Agents CANNOT Do
- Publish, post, or submit content to any platform
- Use `remote-browser` to interact with publishing interfaces (X, LinkedIn, XHS, etc.)
- Schedule automated posts
- Click "publish", "post", "submit", or equivalent buttons on any platform

## Platforms Covered
This policy applies to ALL platforms without exception:
- X / Twitter
- LinkedIn
- XHS (Xiaohongshu / RedNote)
- Instagram
- TikTok
- Any other social media or content platform

## XHS (Xiaohongshu) Access Rules
**ALL XHS-related operations (viewing, scraping, comment collection, data gathering) must go through iriss-air (192.168.86.25).**
- ✅ Use iriss-air for: XHS browsing, comment scraping, data collection, content research
- ❌ Do NOT use Steve's local machine (`remote-browser` / Chrome Extension) for ANY XHS access
- This applies to all agents — no exceptions

## Publishing Workflow
1. Marketing team prepares content package (text + visuals + formatting)
2. Marketing Lead delivers package to Steve via Slack with all assets
3. **Steve publishes manually** at his discretion
4. Marketing team tracks engagement after Steve confirms publication

## Why This Policy Exists
Steve has confirmed this policy multiple times. Agents have repeatedly violated it by attempting to auto-publish via remote-browser. This SOP exists to prevent further violations.

## Escalation
- Any agent that attempts to publish directly is violating this SOP
- Report violations to the Orchestrator immediately
- The Orchestrator will escalate to Steve

## Enforcement & Penalties
- **Zero Tolerance**: Any agent found attempting to click "Post", "Publish", or "Submit" via `remote-browser` will be immediately terminated from the session.
- **Rework Requirement**: If an agent violates this rule, the entire task must be reverted and redone by a different agent to ensure safety.
- **Audit Requirement**: Every content-related mission must have a mandatory human review step that verifies the handoff package was delivered correctly.

## Maintenance
- This SOP is permanent until Steve explicitly revokes it
- No team lead or agent may override this policy
