Set up the tools
Open Claude Code, Claude Opus 5.5. Connect accounts only where needed and note any per-minute or per-credit limits on the free plan before you start.

Make a single output first. Check pacing, captions, voice and framing by watching it on a phone.
Turn it into a repeatable recipe
Save the prompts and settings that worked as a template so the next run takes minutes, then batch.

Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
