Developer builds fully automated blog pipeline using GitHub Actions and Claude AI

A software developer has created an end-to-end automated blogging pipeline called Content Autopilot that mines project activity, selects topics, writes posts, and publishes them without any human involvement. The system uses Claude AI running headlessly in CI to curate candidate topics and draft Hugo blog posts, rejecting low-value items through a strict prompt-based gate. To prevent content flooding, the pipeline checks Buffer's social media queue depth before each run and halts if channels are near capacity. A verification step requires Claude to confirm all code snippets and config details against actual source files via the GitHub API, holding publication rather than risking fabricated details. Only after a successful Hugo build does the workflow commit and push to the main branch, triggering the live deployment.
