How I Built a Self-Healing AI Content Agent with Claude Agent SDK

I got tired of the content grind. Write a post, format it for X, reformat for Bluesky, render a video, upload to YouTube, cross-post to Instagram — repeat daily. It was eating 2-3 hours every day. So I built an AI agent that does all of it. It runs 24/7 on a Mac mini, publishes to five platforms, and fixes itself when things break. Claude Code runs on my existing Max subscription — the only variable cost is Gemini for image generation, which is pennies per image. This isn’t a chatbot. It’s a persistent agent that runs on a schedule, does real work, sends me the results on Discord, and goes back to monitoring. I approve everything from my phone. Here’s the full architecture, with real code from the production system.
