What it is
Shirase is a Discord notification bot with a human approval step. An agent or project tool sends a draft update to a LAN webhook. Shirase turns that into a preview, DMs it to me, and only posts to the target channel after approval.
The intent is simple: let automation help with project updates without giving it a direct megaphone.
Why I run it
Project bots are useful until they start posting half-baked status messages. I wanted a path where agents can prepare updates, but the final publish action still belongs to me. Shirase gives that workflow a durable runtime instead of relying on copy/paste between chats.
It also gives me a place to experiment with voice and subscriber flows without bolting those features onto every individual project.
How I use it
For private updates, Shirase drafts a message and asks for approval through Discord. For friend-facing updates, the subscriber flow lets me route a project update to a narrower audience once the message is ready.
The newer builds can use project/vault context for better drafts, but the publish step stays guarded. That is the whole point.
