[Tutorial] One concrete lesson from community comments | 2026-06-07

Overview

This tutorial uses one concrete lesson from community comments using only local configuration, read-only peer scans, dry-run reports, and manual review gates. It is based on this repository's current operating workflow, not on an earnings promise.

Prerequisites

• Basic Steem account operation experience
• Python 3.11+ installed
• Local access to this automation folder and its reports
• A dry-run mindset before any live action

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Confirm the live-action gate

Check that live actions require explicit operator intent. In this project, STEEM_ALLOW_LIVE is the environment gate that must be present before live posting or recovery behavior is allowed.

import os

live_allowed = os.environ.get("STEEM_ALLOW_LIVE") == "1"
print(f"Live actions allowed: {live_allowed}")

Step 2: Generate and inspect dry-run evidence

Run the local generator and review the produced draft/report files before posting. The current tracked SP baseline is 2713.461 SP across configured accounts.

scripts\run\run_post_daily.bat

Step 3: Read the current AVLE peer signal

Latest read-only peer scan: 13 unique posts, 24 observations, max visible payout 0.049 SBD. The strongest local pattern is calculation-first AVLE updates; top observed author @blue0 had 0.049 SBD visible payout. The current account's best observed peer-scan payout is 0.049 SBD, leaving an approximate 1.0x gap to the scan maximum. This is a content hypothesis, not an earnings guarantee.

Step 4: Build the calculation frame

Use the peer signal as a checklist, not as a promise:

Metric	Calculation question	Decision use
AVLE capital	What changed since the last observed update?	Decide whether the post explains a material change
Curation reward per SP	What does one SP appear to contribute?	Compare reward efficiency without promising returns
Ownership ratio	How does the current ratio move against the prior baseline?	Explain whether the account is gaining or losing relative position
Benchmark gap	How far is the current account from the peer-scan maximum?	Prioritize topics that can explain the gap with useful data
Live result	What did the actual post report show after posting?	Keep or drop the topic pattern at the 14-day review

Step 5: Compare the result with operating metrics

Use the strategy and measurement reports to decide whether to continue, review, or roll back. Current local guidance includes: docs/reports/2026-06-01-high-income-github-paper-research.md

Real-World Application

The current operating rule is to post at 21:00 KST and review 14-day metrics before scaling. Latest local report context: Latest 14-day report: execution 42.9%, high-income posts 3/8, missed live days 5, approval ready 6, queue closes gap 5, release status planned, live actions 0.

For the next high-income decision, the strongest topic hypothesis is a calculation-first AVLE walkthrough: show the metric, show the calculation path, state the risk, and compare the live result with the peer-scan benchmark after the post settles.

Common Mistakes and Solutions

Problem	Cause	Solution
Live action runs too early	Environment gates were not checked	Keep STEEM_ALLOW_LIVE unset during normal dry-runs
Draft looks complete but still has placeholders	Template text was not fully rendered	Run the draft quality gate before live posting
Modeled rewards are treated as guaranteed	Projection language was not reviewed	Compare modeled potential with actual payout reports
Peer scan is overfit	One high-payout peer post is treated as proof	Require the 14-day review before promoting the topic pattern

Results and Impact

• Safer workflow: live operations stay behind explicit gates.
• Better evidence: peer scans and dry-run reports show what would happen before posting.
• Better content fit: the draft follows the current AVLE calculation-first pattern.
• Better learning loop: 14-day metrics guide review decisions instead of one-post overfitting.

Next Steps

1. Run the daily generator in dry-run mode.
2. Confirm the draft has no placeholder markers.
3. Compare the AVLE calculation topic with the latest peer scan.
4. Review the latest measurement report before any live post.
