Try it with Claude
Search for what [topic] is called. Give me names and where you found them. Do not publish anything until I say yes.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
Done when. The list has been read, and nothing has been published unless you did it.
Safety rule. The agent does not publish the hits. You read them yourself.
