TheCraigHewitt Content Factory — HuggingFace Trends → Instagram Carousel
Pull today's trending HuggingFace models, pick the one that matters most for the user's niche, and produce a 7-slide Instagram carousel ready to render in Higgsfield.
This skill is built to run daily, but every run is self-contained — it does not read prior days' data.
When to use
User prompts that should trigger this skill:
- "Pull today's trending HuggingFace models and make a carousel."
- "Run the trending DB."
- "Today's AI trends to an Instagram post."
- "Daily HuggingFace pull."
Inputs
Ask once at the start (skip whichever the user already provided):
- Niche: what audience the carousel is for. Default: "AI for marketing operators."
- Brand voice: 2–3 tone words. Default: "direct, practical, no-hype."
- Brand handle / signature: what to put on slide 7's CTA. Default: skip the CTA branding.
Workflow — strict order
Step 1 — Pull the trending list
Run the Playwright scraper:
node skills/content-factory/scripts/fetch-huggingface-trending.mjs --top 10 --out output/content-factory/<YYYY-MM-DD>/raw-trends.json
This visits https://huggingface.co/models?sort=trending, scrapes the top N, and writes both:
output/content-factory/<YYYY-MM-DD>/raw-trends.json(today's pull)- An append-only row in
skills/content-factory/data/trending.db(SQLite — write-only from this skill's perspective)
If the scrape fails (network, layout change, anti-bot), fall back to examples/sample-trending-pull.json and tell the user the run is using a fixture.
Step 2 — Niche-map
Load prompts/niche-mapping.md and rank today's pulled models by relevance to the user's niche. Output a short ranked list (model name, relevance 1–10, one-line "why it matters for this audience"). Drop anything below 6.
Step 3 — Pick one trend
Pick the highest-relevance, most-explainable trend. If two are tied on relevance, prefer the one that's easier to demo visually.
Step 4 — Build the carousel
Load prompts/trend-to-carousel.md and produce 7 slides. Each slide gets:
- Slide copy (≤14 words on the visible card).
- Speaker-note expansion (1–3 sentences for the caption pull).
- A Higgsfield image prompt using
templates/carousel-slide-prompt.md.
Slide structure:
| # | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 1 | Hook — tension or stat that makes them swipe |
| 2 | What it is |
| 3 | Why it matters NOW |
| 4 | How to use it (1 concrete workflow) |
| 5 | What changes for the audience's job |
| 6 | The bigger pattern (zoom out) |
| 7 | CTA — save / follow / comment trigger |
Step 5 — Write the caption
Use templates/caption-template.md. Caption ≤2200 chars (IG limit), front-loaded, last paragraph is the CTA.
Step 6 — Higgsfield handoff
For each slide's image prompt:
- If the Higgsfield MCP is connected, call
ToolSearchwith queryhiggsfieldand use the image-generation tool to render the slide. - If not, output the prompt paste-ready under the slide.
Never invent Higgsfield tool names — discover them at runtime.
Step 7 — Write outputs
Final deliverable structure:
output/content-factory/<YYYY-MM-DD>/
├── raw-trends.json
├── ranked.md # Step 2 output
├── carousel.md # Slides + caption + Higgsfield prompts
└── higgsfield-prompts.md # Just the prompts, paste-ready
Scheduling — pick one
This skill runs once per day. Three ways to wire it up:
Option A — /loop inside a Claude Code session (good for: testing, manual oversight)
/loop 24h Run the content-factory skill on today's HuggingFace trending list for the niche "AI for marketing operators".
Option B — Claude Code /schedule (cloud routine) (good for: laptop-off, hands-off)
/schedule daily at 08:00 ET — Run the content-factory skill on today's HuggingFace trending list...
Option C — crontab on this machine (good for: simple, local, no cloud)
0 8 * * * cd ~/Coding/higgsfield && claude -p "Run the content-factory skill on today's HuggingFace trending list for the niche 'AI for marketing operators'." >> ~/Coding/higgsfield/output/content-factory/cron.log 2>&1
The skill itself does NOT install any of these — that's the user's call.
Voice & tone
- Match the user's stated brand voice. If unspecified: direct, practical, no-hype.
- Slide 1 hook must NOT use "this changes everything" / "you won't believe" / "game-changer." If it does, rewrite.
- Slide 7 CTA is always concrete (save / share / comment a specific word) — never "follow for more."
