  • One creepy rule you understand in the first sentence.
  • A narrator and one-word captions carry the story.
  • A twist at the end that makes people rewatch.

What Claude is and how to get an account

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It can research, write scripts and prompts, and write the code that draws an animation in your browser.

  1. Go to claude.ai or install the Claude app.
  2. Sign up with your email address or your Google account.
  3. Type your first message in the box at the bottom.

Step 1: Claude writes the story

Claude writes the story prompt

Write a 2-minute mini-story for a blocky game animation: “You can’t escape this town.”
One rule, one narrator, a twist in the last line. Short sentences.
Give me 20 more one-line premises like it.

Read what Claude gives you and change anything that does not sound like you.

Step 2: Claude writes the shot list

Claude writes the shot list prompt

Turn the story into a shot list: one shot per sentence.
For each shot give the camera, the characters and what moves, so I can build it in my game editor.
Mark the 3 shots that matter most for the first 5 seconds.

If something looks wrong, tell Claude what you see and it fixes it.

Why posting by hand holds you back

  • Five apps, five uploads. The same video, the same caption, again and again for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Threads.
  • The wrong time. You post when you remember, not when your audience is online.
  • One busy day breaks the streak. Then two, then a week, and the account stops growing.

With postreadygo, one message to Claude schedules a whole month: one video a day, each at its best time, on every platform at once. That is 30 posts a month per platform, without opening a single app.

Step 3: Connect postreadygo to Claude

  1. Go to postreadygo.com and click Get started for free. Then open Linked and connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or any other supported network.
  2. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
  3. Name it postreadygo and paste: https://www.postreadygo.com/mcp
  4. Click Connect, sign in to postreadygo and press Allow.
  5. Test it: “List my postreadygo accounts.”
