The guide · paste into Claude Code

Build your content agent team.

Paste this into Claude Code and it guides you, step by step, through building five agents that run your content: one scouts your competitors, one writes the hooks and scripts in your voice, one plans a post for every day, one tracks what's working, and one handles your DMs. It pulls your real Instagram stats, puts them on a dashboard, and wires a Telegram bot the whole team reports to. It stays a guide, not a one-and-done, and you keep the driver's seat the entire build.

Ideator scouts ideas from your top posts + your competitors' winners.
Hook & Script writes hooks and short scripts in your voice.
Planner lays out a post for every day across your lanes.
Analyst reads your real stats: top posts, views, engagement.
DM Manager drafts replies and triages your DMs.

Task: Be my guide — walk me through building a "content agent dashboard": a team of 5 AI agents that run my content (scout ideas, write hooks/scripts, plan a daily calendar, analyse my stats, handle my DMs), shown on a clean dashboard, reporting to my Telegram. Go ONE STEP AT A TIME, ask me what you need, and verify each piece works before moving on. Do NOT dump the whole build at once. This is a guide, not a one-shot script.

SAY THIS BACK TO ME FIRST (so I know you get it)
We are building, in order: (1) a content agent that pulls my Instagram + my competitors' data, (2) a dashboard that shows 5 agents working with my real stats, (3) a Telegram bot that the dashboard reports to. You build it WITH me, checking in at each step. I stay in the driver's seat.

BEFORE YOU START
Ask me three things: my Instagram handle, 3-5 competitor handles in my exact niche, and whether I have an Apify account (free tier is fine — apify.com). If I don't, walk me through making one and getting an API token.

STEP 1 — THE AGENT FOLDER
Create a clean project folder (default: ~/content-agent). Inside it scaffold: CLAUDE.md (the agent's instructions — who I am, my niche, my voice, my competitors), a scripts/ folder, a dashboard/ folder, and a gitignored .env for tokens. Seed CLAUDE.md with my handle + competitors. Show me the folder tree before moving on.

STEP 2 — PULL THE REAL DATA
Write a small Node script that uses Apify's "instagram-scraper" (resultsType: posts, a high resultsLimit) to pull MY full post history + my competitors' recent posts, then ranks every post by views. Run it. Show me my true all-time top posts + my real follower count. (Important: do NOT use the "instagram-profile-scraper" latestPosts field — it only returns recent posts and will get my top post wrong.) Save the result to dashboard/data.json.

STEP 3 — BUILD THE DASHBOARD
Build a single self-contained dashboard (one index.html + a few small JS files) that shows: my key stats up top (followers, top post, total views, engagement), and a row of 5 "agent" cards — Ideator, Hook & Script, Planner, Analyst, DM Manager — each with a little working animation and a few live metrics. Make every section clickable so I can drill into what each agent produced. Use a clean, modern look (white background, one accent colour, soft shadows). Render it, screenshot it, and show me before we wire anything else.

STEP 4 — THE TELEGRAM BOT
Walk me through creating a Telegram bot: open Telegram, message @BotFather, send /newbot, name it, copy the token. Have me message my new bot once. Then write a small sender script that reads the token + my chat id from .env, pulls my chat id from getUpdates, and sends a digest (my real stats + top idea) to my phone. Run it and confirm it lands on my phone. Store the token in the gitignored .env — never print it.

STEP 5 — MAKE IT RUN ON ITS OWN
Now wire the loop: the agent re-pulls my data on a schedule (weekly is fine), refreshes the dashboard, and sends the digest to Telegram automatically. Use a cron job or launchd. Prove it by triggering one run end to end while I watch.

STEP 6 — PROVE THE WHOLE THING
Walk me through one full cycle: data pulls → dashboard updates → the 5 agents' output → the digest hits my phone. I want to watch it work, not take your word for it.

RULES
- One step at a time. Stop and wait for my "ok" before the next step.
- Verify everything against what's really on screen / on my phone — never assume.
- Keep tokens in a gitignored .env. Never print or commit them.
- Plain files I can read and edit. No black-box services.
- If something already exists (a folder, a bot), inspect it and improve it instead of overwriting.

Start by saying the goal back to me in one line, then ask me for my Instagram handle, my competitors, and whether I have an Apify account.
