Big Idea

The argument in one line.

The unlock is not AI image generation itself — it is connecting Claude Code to an image API via MCP so that research, copywriting, image generation, and a results dashboard all happen inside one conversation, on a repeating schedule.

Who This Is For

Read if. Skip if.

READ IF YOU ARE…

You post regularly to Instagram or LinkedIn and spend 1-3 hours per piece manually sourcing images, writing copy, and assembling slides.
You have a Claude subscription and want to understand what MCP connectors unlock beyond basic chat.
You follow a niche topic — AI news, finance, fitness — and want a daily brief auto-converted into shareable carousels.
You are comfortable enough with Claude Code to open a project folder and run a skill file.

SKIP IF…

You need brand-safe, legally cleared images — AI-generated outputs require careful review before commercial use.
You are not yet set up with Claude Code; this tutorial assumes it is already running on your machine.

TL;DR

The full version, fast.

Claude Code acts as the orchestrator: it reads news from X, writes carousel copy, sends detailed image prompts to Higgsfield through an MCP connector, receives generated images inline, and assembles everything into a local HTML dashboard — all from plain-English instructions. A downloadable skill file encodes the full workflow so future runs just need 'run carousel skill.' A Claude Routine then fires the whole pipeline at 7AM daily with bypass-permissions enabled, producing a ready-to-approve content batch before you wake up.

Chapters

Where the time goes.

00:00 – 00:48

01 · Intro / hook demo

Shows the finished carousel output live; promises to teach the setup even for non-technical users using only plain English.

00:49 – 01:54

02 · Why it matters

Content consistency is the core creator problem. Manual assembly is time-consuming and leads to burnout. Claude + Higgsfield handles 90% of it.

01:55 – 03:37

03 · Claude setup

Connect a project folder in Claude Code. Introduces the two-tool architecture: Claude as architect, Higgsfield for image/video generation. Architecture diagram shown.

03:38 – 04:26

04 · Higgsfield setup

Create a Higgsfield account, copy the MCP URL, add the custom connector in Claude settings. One-time configuration.

04:27 – 07:07

05 · Prompting: cover slide

Iterates on the hook cover image through several rounds: initial prompt, font correction, mascot placement, final style saved as a reusable scale. Inline MCP image display demonstrated.

07:08 – 09:10

06 · Prompting: content slides

Provides a reference design for content slides, approves a text preview before firing image generation, uses browser-use plus Claude in Chrome to screenshot live social posts and embed them.

09:11 – 10:10

07 · Download free skill file

Explains the skill file concept: a .md recipe file encoding the full workflow. Download it, place it in the carousel folder, trigger with 'run carousel skill.'

10:11 – 11:42

08 · Content dashboard

Asks Claude to build an HTML page displaying all generated carousels in a grid. Uses confirm-before-build: Claude explains its plan and asks clarifying questions before writing code.

11:43 – 13:55

09 · Setting up automation

Creates a Claude Routine: daily at 7AM, reads @claudeai X for new posts in last 24-48h, compares against processed-posts log to avoid duplicates, generates carousel, updates dashboard. Sets bypass-permissions so it runs unattended.

Atomic Insights

Lines worth screenshotting.

Connecting Claude to an image generation API via MCP eliminates the app-switching that makes AI content workflows slow.
A skill file encodes your full workflow in a markdown recipe — future sessions need one trigger phrase, not re-explaining every step.
Asking Claude to confirm its plan before generating images saves more tokens than any other single habit.
Setting bypass-permissions in Claude Routines is the difference between automation that works while you sleep and one that stalls waiting for a click.
Claude in Chrome lets the AI physically open your browser and screenshot live social posts, embedding real content without copy-paste.
Saving a style as a scale after one approved image means every subsequent slide inherits the same fonts, mascot position, and color treatment.
The MCP connector means generated images appear inline in the Claude conversation — no download, upload, or tab switching required.
You can build a multi-story content dashboard in HTML by describing the layout to Claude and having it confirm the spec before writing code.
A duplicate-check against a processed-posts log is what separates a one-time automation from a reliable daily one — without it, you re-post the same story.
Plain-English iteration (change the mascot position, swap the coffee for a smoothie) is faster than manual edits for carousel cover images.

Takeaway

How to build a content pipeline that runs itself.

WHAT TO LEARN

The gap between Claude helping you make content and Claude making content while you sleep is three things: an MCP connector, a skill file, and a routine with bypass-permissions on.

An MCP connector turns Claude from a chat window into an orchestrator that can call external APIs and receive results inline without app switching.
A skill file — a plain .md document in your project folder — is the difference between re-explaining your workflow every session and triggering it with one phrase.
Asking Claude to confirm its understanding before generating anything expensive consistently saves tokens and avoids regeneration cycles.
The confirm-before-build pattern works because Claude surfaces its assumptions as questions; answering them takes 30 seconds while fixing a wrong output can take 10 minutes.
Browser-use lets Claude screenshot live content from social platforms and embed it directly in your deliverable — no copy-paste, no manual download.
A processed-posts log that Claude updates after each run is what makes a daily automation reliable; without deduplication, you re-publish the same story repeatedly.
Setting bypass-permissions on a Claude Routine is not optional if you want it to run unattended — any unanswered permission prompt stalls the entire pipeline.
Saving a visual style as a scale after one approved image carries fonts, colors, and layout to every subsequent slide, making a multi-slide carousel visually consistent without manual spec work.

Glossary

Terms worth knowing.

MCP connector: A protocol that lets Claude communicate with external tools and APIs directly within a conversation. The Higgsfield MCP connector lets Claude send image prompts and receive results inline, without the user switching apps.
Skill file: A Markdown (.md) text file containing complete workflow instructions placed in a Claude project folder. When triggered by a phrase, Claude reads the file and executes the full workflow without the user re-explaining each step.
Claude Routines: A scheduling feature in Claude Code that lets you define a task with instructions and a schedule. Bypass-permissions mode lets the routine complete without prompting for approval on each run.
Browser use: A Claude feature combined with the Claude in Chrome extension that lets Claude navigate to a URL and take a screenshot — used here to capture live social media posts and embed them in carousel slides.
Higgsfield: An AI image and video generation platform bundling access to 30+ models under one subscription. Used here as the image engine Claude sends prompts to via MCP.

metaphor

00:00You can see right here that all I said was Claude, take this post, study it, and create an Instagram carousel post. And then I dropped the URL here and I fired off. Then it went ahead and researched the story, summarized everything, and in just a few minutes, you've got the carousel ready for you.

00:15It even gave me an engaging cover image that is specific to the story. And not only that but it laid out all the content in a beautiful page like this where I can just click one button and you can post it directly to Instagram. And if I wanted to repurpose it to five other social platforms, it could because it understand the workflow and how to optimize it for each platform.

00:33So today I'm gonna be showing you how to set this up using Glowt Code. And not only that, but how to even set up an automation where it will run this workflow daily. So when you wake up every morning, this will be ready for you to approve.

00:43And you can do this even if you're not technical. I created all this by just talking to Claude in plain English. So let's dive in.

00:49Now before we start creating, I wanna give you some context on why this matters. So if you're selling any type of product or an app, you know how important content creation is, get eyeballs. But being consistent with content is hard.

01:01Coming up with ideas, putting everything manually together, and a lot of people eventually quit because it's time consuming. But now you can automate 90% of that using Clot. So for today's example, we're gonna create automation for Instagram carousel.

01:14And by the way, you can basically do this for any type of social media content because once you understand this workflow, this logic can be applied to other types of posts. So you've probably seen this type of carousel that everybody's doing on Instagram now. And if you don't know, a carousel is basically a set of slides.

01:29So I've got this account that's getting a lot of views with this. And if you're into AI, you probably know this ChatGPT tricks, basically daily updates of AI news. So they've got the cover page and then they've got the content in the following slides.

01:42And they're getting millions of views with this carousel format. And for today's example, we're gonna create something similar like this, but not just based on random AI news, but let's do it specifically for updates related to Claude AI. Now in order to do this, we're gonna need two tools.

01:57First tool is Claude who is going to act as the architect, so you just need to communicate with Claude in plain English on whatever you wanna create. Now the one thing that Claude does not have, it's its own image generation model, so we're gonna need to connect it to a second tool called Higgs Field. And for those of you who are not familiar, Higgs Field is one of the most popular tools to create AI images and videos.

02:16They've got more than 30 different AI models including the latest models like nanobanana, Charge dbt image two, C Dance two point o. So you don't need separate subscriptions to each of these models, but you just need one Higgs field account and you have access to everything. Now what makes this actually powerful is that Cloth now has an official MCP connector to Higgs field and this MCP connector is actually the key to make the automation happen.

02:37So for example, let's say you wanna create content about the latest Claude updates. So every single day I can create an automation where Claude goes to this x account, grab the latest update, and summarize it and structure it for social media posts.

02:49And it's gonna automatically create a detailed prompt, send it to Hicksfield through the MCP connector which will then use the latest GPT two or if you're doing a video, you can use C Dance two point o and put everything together nicely at Wiz. And with that, you have this automation running every morning ready for you to approve when you wake up.

03:06And I've been running this for the past three days and it's given me all the latest stories every single day for me to just approve and download it for Instagram. So I think that's the real power and this will save you 90% of your time doing content creation. So let's start setting up some things.

03:20Now for any new project that you're working on, I always recommend connecting to a folder. So I'm gonna close this right here and then click here and then open new folder. And then you just wanna create a brand new folder.

03:30And for this project, I've already created a folder called carousel. So I'm gonna click on this, hit open, and it's gonna show that it's connected to that folder. Now the other thing that you need to set up is your connection to Higgs Field.

03:41So first, you wanna go to Higgs Field and you wanna just create a basic account so you have some credits to work with. And by the way, I've got the link in the description below so you have access to this tool. And once you set up the account, you wanna click on MCP and then you wanna make sure that you're on Claude and then just follow the instructions here.

03:57So I'm gonna copy this link on the second tab here and I'm gonna go back to Claude and you wanna go to settings, connectors, and then you wanna hit customize here. Now you'll see that I've already got Higgs field connected but if you're doing this for the first time, hit that plus button here, add a custom connector, just call it Higgs field and then paste in that URL that you got from Higgs field and then you wanna hit add.

04:20And that is it. Now for today, I wanna walk you through each of the step that I took to be able to create every slide that you see here. So let's start with the first image here.

04:29So the first image is something that you need to think about because this is kind of the hook. You want this to be really catchy. So if you look at the other accounts, they have this as the hook or an image like this or even this.

04:40So I wanted to do something slightly different and maybe get a similar vibe to this. So I simply asked Claude to, hey, create a image for the first slide of a young woman sitting down having breakfast in her house reading a story on a newspaper, and I want the topic of the story as a headline on the newspaper. Now, of course, it didn't give me this perfect image on the first try.

05:01I went through a couple of iterations and for the first image, it gave me this which is alright but not great. It's got the font wrong. So I had to feed it the actual font, the actual logo, and I wanted to add a mascot as well.

05:12And I just say, hey, please update the font and I want these to be placed as an overlay on towards the bottom of the image. So it gave me two more options, which is this one and this one. I think this one's a bit better, but I don't like how the mascot looks.

05:26And after a few iterations, I got the image that I want. And once you get something like this, you can ask it to save this setting as a scale so the next image that it produces will have kind of the same vibe and all the same positions for the font and everything else. So as you can see here, the second story is about Excel.

05:42Cloth now can do Excel and the third story is Cloth live artifacts is insane. Now if you notice, what's nice about having the MCP connector to Hexfield is that you're able to get all the images right on Cloth here. So you're not actually switching between two apps and downloading it, uploading it here, but now you're able to view everything here.

06:03It gets displayed in line. So if you wanted to edit something, you can simply ask it, hey, I don't like this one. Move the mascot here or change the lighting.

06:12You can just speak to Claude in plain English and it's gonna create a very detailed prompt in the background and send that to Hicksfield on your behalf and I think that's a much more efficient way of working. Now for slide number two and three, which is the content, what I did was I gave it a reference style that I want.

06:29Maybe you found a design that you like. Put that into Claude and say, hey, I like this design. I want you to use this design for our content slides and put the summary of the stories here in these two images.

06:41So before it generates the image here, I wanted to give me a preview of the text so I can approve it and I can make changes to it. If you don't like the way that it's written, you can ask it to change it, make it more casual, or make more elaborate. And once you're locked in on that, then you can ask Claude to fire it off to Hicksfield to create an image like this.

06:59Now if you look at these slides for the content, you're gonna see that not only that it summarized the story in text format, but it also added some visuals. Right? So look at this one.

07:09This one is actually basically the post that it got the story from. So I actually ask it to go to this post and take a screenshot of it, but I don't want anything else here. I just want the post and any image or video here.

07:21I want that to be included, and also maybe the amount of views that it gets. So for this to happen, you gotta enable browser use and you also wanna install the Clot Chrome extension. So it's gonna physically go to your computer, open your Chrome browser, go to this page, and actually take a screenshot of this whole page in the format that I want.

07:38And then it's gonna give it to Higgsfield. It's gonna write the prompt and it's gonna put everything together like this. So I'm gonna open this on the right panel here and it was able to stitch everything nicely and I think it looks really really well designed.

07:50Now for the next slide, I did something different here where I just ask it to look for other stories from other websites that's covering this exact story and look for additional image. And just to show you where I got this image from, I actually found this website here, Geeky Gadgets. Talks about Claude with Excel AI and actually grabbed the image from this website and put it here, which I think is really, really cool.

08:13Now if you notice down here, with every story that I create, I ask it to create a video version of the first slide because I think videos work better in my opinion with carousels, especially on the first slide and it will just catch people's attention more quickly. So I just took this image here and I asked it to create a video, animate the character using the C Dance two point o model within Higgs field, and it was able to give me something like this.

08:36So you've got the girl picking up the mug, sipping the coffee, putting it back down, and we got second character behind her there. So you can direct it to however you want it. And for the third one, I have something different here.

08:47I instead of the coffee, I just put a smoothie here and have the girl wear a different color so it looks more fresh and it's not the same thing over and over again. So that is something that you can also automate, create some rules with Claude, and tell it to, hey, come up with a different color shirt for every single story or you wanna swap out the coffee with smoothies, sometimes with a brownie or something like this.

09:09These things you can automate with Claude. Now to make this even easier, I've already created a skill that you can download for free, put it into Claude, and you're gonna be able to replicate this exact thing that I have here. And you can customize it to whatever content that you wanna create.

09:23And for those of you who don't know what a skill is, I know if you're hearing this for the first time, this might sound confusing. But let's say you don't know how to make a burger, and I give you a recipe that allows you to make that burger. So you'll know how to season the patty, how to grill the meat, what goes in first, what goes in last, what kind of sauce you need.

09:39So So the next time that you wanna make a burger, you already know how to do everything because you already have that skill. So you can think of a scale as a recipe that you can give to Claude. So whenever you wanna work on a specific task like this, he knows exactly what to do and more importantly how you like to do it.

09:55Now in order to download the scale, I'm gonna put a link in the description below and just download that scale and put it in the folder that you created. So a scale will be in this format. It's a dot m d file.

10:05This stands for markdown file. It is actually just a text file with all the instructions on what to do so it knows exactly how to create this.

10:13Now I'm gonna go back to Claude and I'm going to make sure that I'm connected to this folder here that contains that scale and I'm just going to say run carousel scale and it's gonna trigger that scale. You wanna trust workspace. It's gonna read through that m d file and it's gonna give you a welcome sequence.

10:31Right? And then it's gonna give you two options whether you want to recreate what I have here exactly or do you wanna take this workflow and build your own.

10:38And then you just wanna talk to it and give all the assets, all the content that you're trying to create and just talk to it in clinic. Now if you guys are wondering what is this page that I have here, so this is basically just a landing page that I created very very quickly. So instead of having the results displayed here within Claude, when you have a really long chat, gets really hard to actually go back and check the images.

11:02So my prompt was very simple. I want you to create a landing page in HTML that you can display all the results that we've been generating.

11:09And I want two versions. I want the image version and the video version. And before I generate, I said, let me know if you know what I mean and confirm before you build anything.

11:16And it did give me a confirmation of that. And I think it's good to do this because, one, you know exactly if Claude understands your intent, and you can see it right here.

11:24And number two, when you do this, you're gonna save tokens. Right? Otherwise, it's just gonna create something that you don't want.

11:29You have to keep regenerating. So it's good to always ask it to confirm if it understands the the task and ask you any clarifying questions if it has any. And once I did that, I was happy with the confirmation here and I got the thing that I wanted.

11:43Now last but not least, I mentioned earlier in the video that I do have an automation that runs every single day. So everyday, Claude will go to this x account and look for updates about Claude.

11:52Now this is very easy to set up as well. So if you go back to Claude, you wanna open the sidebar here and you wanna go up and click on something called routines. I already have this routine here but let me just create a new one so you know exactly how to create this.

12:06So you wanna click on new routine and click on local and then just name it whatever you want. So for this example, carousel example.

12:14And for description, I'm gonna write the same thing, carousel example, and then instructions. So I have this instruction ready, and I'm gonna paste in the instructions here.

12:23And by the way, this is available in the scale file that you're gonna download as well. So basically, it's very simple. I'm asking it to check this x account within the last twenty four, forty eight hours and compare against previous post to make sure that you don't have duplicate post about the same story.

12:38And then it's gonna research the story and it's gonna create that carousel and update this landing page here on your local machine. So it knows exactly what to do based on the workflow that you save in that scale file.

12:49Now if you scroll down a little bit more, you can set how often you want this to run. So you can run it manually, hourly, daily, whatever you want.

12:57Right? So for this example, I run it at 7AM every morning. So by the time I wake up, it's already done.

13:02And once you're done with this, you just hit create and then it's gonna appear here. And one thing I like to make sure is that it's gonna perform this without asking you for permissions. So you wanna just click on this and then here under permissions, just bypass permissions.

13:15So it's not gonna ask you for permissions every day because that kinda defeats the purpose. Right? Hit save and it's updated.

13:22So that's how this workflow works. This did take some iterations before I actually get something that I really like. But once you get it, you know, you can basically take this workflow and repurpose it to x LinkedIn or whatever you wanna post.

13:34So if you guys wanna try this out, go ahead and download the scale file down below. And leave me a comment down below if you run into any issues. I read all the comments, and I'll try to help you as best that I could.

13:44But if you learned something today, I highly appreciate it if you like the video and subscribe. I do videos like this every single week. And if you wanna start building apps, I think you're gonna enjoy this video next.

13:53So click here and I will see you there.
