dropspace-content-engine

Self-improving autonomous content pipeline. Analyzes post performance across 6 platforms, generates new content with AI (slideshows, tweets, linkedin posts, reddit threads), schedules via Dropspace API. Gets smarter every night — each cycle learns from real engagement data. Use when asked to set up autonomous content posting, run the content engine, or manage multi-platform social media automation.

Fully autonomous content pipeline. Every night: pull analytics → identify winning hooks → generate new posts → schedule across 6 platforms. The feedback loop compounds — each cycle produces better content because it learns from real engagement data.

Setup

1. Clone and install

bash

git clone https://github.com/joshchoi4881/dropspace-agents && cd dropspace-agents && npm install

If canvas fails to install, that's fine — text-only formats still work. For visual formats (TikTok/Instagram slideshows): macOS brew install pkg-config cairo pango, Linux apt install libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev, then npm install again.

2. Run the setup wizard

bash

node setup.js --template dropspace-content-engine

Walks you through API keys, platform selection, and app configuration.

3. Set your API keys

bash

export DROPSPACE_API_KEY="ds_live_..."     # from dropspace.dev/settings/api
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."       # from console.anthropic.com
export FAL_KEY="fal_..."                    # from fal.ai (for visual/video formats)

Save in a .env file (copy from templates/.env.example). Add .env to .gitignore to avoid committing secrets.

4. Validate

bash

node scripts/test-pipeline.js --app myapp

Run the Pipeline

bash

source .env

# Analyze performance + generate new posts
node scripts/run-self-improve-all.js --app myapp

# Schedule generated posts for today
node scripts/schedule-day.js --app myapp

Automate Nightly

Time (ET)	Script	What
12:00 AM	scripts/refresh-tracking.js --all + scripts/cleanup-posts.js --all	Refresh analytics, clean old media
12:30 AM	scripts/run-x-research.js --app myapp	Scan X for trending hooks (optional, needs Bird CLI)
1:00 AM	scripts/run-self-improve-all.js --app myapp	Analyze + generate (up to 60 min)
2:00 AM	scripts/schedule-day.js --app myapp	Schedule for today

What Happens Each Run

1. Pulls 14 days of analytics from Dropspace API
2. Identifies winning hooks (posts with >2x average engagement)
3. Cross-references with X/Twitter research signals
4. Generates 7-14 new posts with AI (text, visual, video formats)
5. Fact-checks any claims about people, products, or events
6. Writes strategy notes that persist between runs (the loop compounds)
7. Schedules posts across the day via Dropspace API
