Hand the Slab posts to a companion
3 read operations and no writes: a companion can search posts and list posts in Slab and hand back the posts with the source on each row.
Open the post. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Slab afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Slab exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can search posts, list posts and get posts.
The Slab API stops at Slab. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the posts or ask you for them?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can search posts, list posts and get posts, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Slab's documentation.
The posts are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the posts. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Slab admin becomes a queue you review.
- Search Posts
- List Posts
- Get Posts
Nothing writes back. So what moves the posts?
Through the screens you already use.
Slab exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Slab in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a post, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a post in Slab touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the post sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Slab posts pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the planning, the Slab posts sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
