+# Daily Operator
+
+Run the weekday live-to-sheet workflow, review result, and append a stable status record.
+
+## Steps
+1. Ensure log folder exists:
+   - `powershell -NoProfile -Command "New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force output/logs | Out-Null"`
+2. Run:
+   - `cmd /c scripts\\daily_market_intel_to_sheet.bat`
+3. Review:
+   - latest `output/logs/daily_market_intel_*.log`
+   - CSV/sync outputs expected for this run
+4. Append status line to `output/logs/daily-operator-status.log`:
+   - `powershell -NoProfile -Command "$ts=Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'; Add-Content -Path 'output/logs/daily-operator-status.log' -Value \"$ts | PASS|FAIL | summary | next_action\""`
+5. Return:
+   - `PASS` or `FAIL`
+   - one-line reason
+   - immediate next action if failed
+
+## Notes
+- Always append exactly one status line per operator run.
+- Escalate credential errors explicitly.

+# Run Content Intel
+
+Run the existing live automation path with minimal manual orchestration.
+
+## Steps
+1. Ensure log folder exists:
+   - `powershell -NoProfile -Command "New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force output/logs | Out-Null"`
+2. Check whether `scripts/run_pipeline_live_to_google_sheets.bat` exists.
+3. If it exists, run:
+   - `cmd /c scripts\\run_pipeline_live_to_google_sheets.bat`
+4. If it does not exist, run:
+   - `cmd /c scripts\\run_pipeline_live.bat`
+5. Return a short completion summary:
+   - script used
+   - pass/fail
+   - latest log file path in `output/logs` (if available)
+
+## Notes
+- Do not modify the underlying pipeline.
+- Reuse existing scripts exactly as-is.

+# Sync Market Sheet
+
+Run only the Google Sheets sync setup/sync pathway without rerunning the full live content pipeline.
+
+## Steps
+1. Ensure log folder exists:
+   - `powershell -NoProfile -Command "New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force output/logs | Out-Null"`
+2. Run sync-only script:
+   - `cmd /c scripts\\setup_google_sheets_sync.bat`
+3. Validate expected sync outputs still exist:
+   - `output/`
+   - `output/logs/`
+   - latest sync artifacts referenced by `docs/google-sheets-sync-setup.md` (if present)
+4. Return:
+   - pass/fail
+   - missing artifacts (if any)
+   - next action
+
+## Notes
+- This command is intentionally sync-only.
+- Do not trigger `run_pipeline_live.bat` from this command.

+# Subagent: output-reviewer
+
+You are a focused quality-review subagent for pipeline outputs.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Review CSV and sheet-sync artifacts for completeness.
+- Surface missing/blank key fields and suspicious row counts.
+- Flag records needing manual review.
+- Keep findings short and actionable for a daily operator.
+
+## Review checklist
+1. File presence
+   - Required files exist in `output/` (or configured output path).
+2. Structural quality
+   - Header row present
+   - Expected columns present
+3. Data quality
+   - No unexpected fully blank rows
+   - Key fields (company/deed/contact/market signal) not mostly empty
+4. Volume sanity
+   - Row count is non-zero and within expected recent range
+
+## Output format
+- `PASS` or `FAIL`
+- bullets of findings (max 5)
+- `Next action:` one line
+
+## Guardrails
+- Do not mutate source outputs during review.
+- If uncertainty is high, mark `REVIEW` and request human check.

+# Subagent: repo-runner
+
+You are a focused execution subagent for BizDeedz operations.
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Run existing repository scripts (primarily in `scripts/*.bat` and `scripts/*.ps1`).
+- Capture exit codes and summarize failures in plain language.
+- Verify expected output paths exist after runs.
+- Never redesign or replace the underlying pipeline.
+
+## Workflow
+1. Confirm target script exists.
+2. Execute with `cmd /c` for `.bat` or `powershell -File` for `.ps1`.
+3. Record:
+   - command
+   - exit code
+   - key stderr/stdout failure lines
+4. Check output directories/files expected by the operator command.
+5. Return concise report:
+   - PASS/FAIL
+   - root cause guess
+   - next operator action
+
+## Guardrails
+- Prefer existing wrappers over direct internal steps.
+- Keep changes non-destructive.
+- If credentials fail, clearly call out credential remediation.

+# BizDeedz Automation Runbook (Windows-first)
+
+## What runs automatically
+- Scheduled task runs `scripts/daily_market_intel_to_sheet.bat` each weekday morning.
+- Wrapper prefers `scripts/run_pipeline_live_to_google_sheets.bat` when available.
+- If that wrapper is unavailable, it falls back to `scripts/run_pipeline_live.bat`.
+- Logs are always written under `output/logs`.
+
+## Claude operator commands
+- `run-content-intel`: runs live path (prefers live-to-sheet wrapper).
+- `sync-market-sheet`: sync-only path (does **not** run full live pipeline).
+- `daily-operator`: runs wrapper + appends stable status line in `output/logs/daily-operator-status.log`.
+
+## Notifications
+- Claude notifications are handled by:
+  - `scripts/claude_notify.ps1`
+- The hook is configured in:
+  - `.claude/settings.json`
+
+## Install weekday schedule
+Run in PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install_task_scheduler.ps1
+```
+
+Optional custom time:
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/install_task_scheduler.ps1 -RunTime 07:30
+```
+
+## Manual fallback commands
+- Full live-to-sheet path:
+  - `cmd /c scripts\\daily_market_intel_to_sheet.bat`
+- Existing live pipeline only:
+  - `cmd /c scripts\\run_pipeline_live.bat`
+- Existing live-to-sheet wrapper directly:
+  - `cmd /c scripts\\run_pipeline_live_to_google_sheets.bat`
+- Google Sheets sync setup/sync-only path:
+  - `cmd /c scripts\\setup_google_sheets_sync.bat`
+
+## If credentials fail
+1. Re-run `scripts/setup_google_sheets_sync.bat`.
+2. Confirm local credential files/tokens are still valid.
+3. Re-run `scripts/daily_market_intel_to_sheet.bat`.
+4. If still failing, open latest `output/logs` file and escalate first auth-related error line.
+
+## Quick remove/edit scheduler task
+- Edit start time:
+  - `schtasks /Change /TN "BizDeedz Daily Market Intel" /ST HH:MM`
+- Remove task:
+  - `schtasks /Delete /TN "BizDeedz Daily Market Intel" /F`
