# Newsletter drafts via Kit API

Claude Code runs a custom /newsletter skill that finds recent blog posts, drafts a casual email in the author's voice, and creates a Kit broadcast.

Result: The author's weekly newsletter now gets drafted and queued in Kit from the terminal, after review, without logging into the Kit dashboard.

## How it was set up

Claude Code with a SKILL.md file in .claude/skills/newsletter, a Kit v4 API key in .env, and the site's content index JSON to find recent posts.

## Worth knowing

Kit's API cannot create forms, sequences, or automations, so opt-in forms still need manual setup. The author reviews each draft before it is created.

## Prompt

```text
Read [content index file] and list posts published in the last 7 days that are not drafts. Write a short, casual newsletter in [author name]'s voice, 2-4 short paragraphs, with a link and a one-line takeaway per post. Show me the draft, then create it as a broadcast via the [email platform] API.
```
