Muse runs the social desk for The Palm Bayer, my one-person local news site. Every hour it scores the whole article catalog and ships the single best story per channel, paired with native video or a designed graphic card and a channel-native caption. A persistent ledger with atomic claims means runs never double-post, even when they overlap. On thin days it flags the slow catalog honestly with the winning score instead of going silent, and every post is reported back with telemetry. A typical weekday is 9 to 12 scored posts across LinkedIn, TikTok, and X, plus Reddit, Substack, and Threads on launch days. What did not work: the first version double-posted when two runs overlapped. Claiming the ledger row at the start of each run, so only the claiming run may complete that slot, fixed it.

SETUP
EACH RUN 3. Score every article: freshness plus reader impact, minus a strike for each time it has already been posted, minus fatigue for recently used media, plus a recovery bonus for stories rested a long time. Ship the single best story per channel: the highest-scoring story that clears the bar and has not already been posted there. 4. Pair each post with native video or a designed graphic card, and write a caption native to each channel. 5. Claim the ledger row at the start of each run, and only the run that made the claim may complete that slot. If a run dies mid-post, the claim dies with it: never double-post. 6. If the catalog is thin, do not go silent: report the winning score honestly and post it anyway. 7. Track and report back every post.
Channels: LinkedIn, TikTok, and X on weekdays; Reddit, Substack, and Threads on launch days. Expect 9 to 12 scored posts on a typical weekday.
