Reusing one design across formats and your first script

The concept

The platform exposes its own automation and integration surface for templates and asset generation, but the practice worth learning here is the reuse loop: one canvas, one brand kit, every format. The idea is simple: the same model you have been chatting with also answers a web request, so you can put it inside a script, a spreadsheet or a page. A key identifies you; a request sends the text; a response comes back as data.

The reason to try it once, even if you never build anything: it makes the chat version less mysterious. You see that the whole conversation is text in and text out, that your instructions are literally lines of a request, and that "the model" is one parameter among several.

A first call looks like this:

# The reuse loop, which is the whole skill:
#
# 1. Design the hardest format first (usually the smallest, a story).
# 2. Add it to your brand kit, not to your downloads folder.
# 3. Resize from that canvas into every other format.
# 4. In each new size, fix exactly two things: the headline length and
#    the image crop. Nothing else breaks.
# 5. Export at the platform's own pixel size, not a screenshot.
#
# A set designed this way takes 20 minutes. The same five posts designed
# separately take two hours and look like five different people made them.
