# Chain creative primitives for autonomous content

## Action

**Combine scheduling agents (cron jobs, GitHub Actions, Temporal) with creative primitives ([[entity-remotion|Remotion]] + [[entity-claude-d48|Claude]]).** Set up a workflow where an agent automatically:

1. Reads your weekly **git commits or changelog**.
2. **Writes a script** summarizing the changes.
3. Generates a **Remotion video** rendering the summary.
4. Prepares it for upload.

All **from the command line, without human intervention**.

## Outcome

A **fully autonomous pipeline** that generates promotional or update videos on a schedule.

## Rationale

This is the practical expression of [[concept-workflow-blocks|workflow blocks]]: each capability is a Lego, and chaining them produces compounding leverage.

## Reference Implementation

[[entity-noahs-way|Noah's Way]] runs exactly this pattern: cron triggers → agent reviews PRs → updates docs → renders Remotion video. Zero human-in-the-loop.

[[entity-sabrina-dev|Sabrina.dev]] runs a related on-demand version: single prompt → Claude browses GitHub, screenshots, adds headshot + music, renders MP4.

## Components You'll Need

- **Trigger**: cron, GitHub Actions, or similar.
- **Orchestrator**: [[entity-claude-d48|Claude]] (desktop or API) over [[concept-mcp-d48|MCP]].
- **Renderer**: [[entity-remotion|Remotion]].
- **Source data**: git log, PR list, analytics, or arbitrary data feed.
- **Distribution**: upload step (YouTube API, Twitter, internal channel).

## Strategic Implication

Once in place, the marginal cost of *another* update video is ~zero ([[concept-creativity-cost-collapse]]). This shifts content cadence from 'whenever marketing has time' to 'every push.'
