adauto is a local HTTP server with 6 tools. It generates developer marketing content, tracks what gets upvotes, and only posts after you approve it.
~$0.00034/post · runs on your machine · 0 auto-posts ever
exploit/explore algorithm picks platform + subreddit + post_type based on prior engagement scores. New install → full explore. After 2 posts → starts exploiting what works.
deepstrain /eval writes platform-native content: Reddit prose, dev.to tutorial, Twitter thread. Injects top-performing examples as few-shot context.
content lands in pending_approval. You read it, edit it, or skip it. Nothing moves without `adauto approve`. No exceptions, no bypass flags.
approved items publish with platform credentials you control. Rate-limiting respects platform ToS. Post URLs stored locally for engagement polling.
adauto polls platforms for upvotes and comments. Scores each post_type. Next `run` call automatically picks the best-scoring style for the platform.
--post-type.every post touches
your eyes first.
The approval gate is not a setting. It's architecture. There is no flag, no config option, and no API call that bypasses it. Generated content goes to pending_approval. It stays there until you say otherwise.

adauto generates VHS .tape files customised for your campaign, renders them to animated GIFs with Charmbracelet VHS, and queues the GIF as a visual asset for the next post batch.

deepstrain writes everything.
adauto is a workflow layer, not an LLM wrapper. For every adauto run, it builds a structured prompt, calls POST deepstrain:8765/eval, and parses the JSON back. deepstrain is the engine.
deepstrain serve --port 8765 # must be running
adauto serve --ds-url http://localhost:8765Without deepstrain running, adauto generate fails immediately. Use adauto service install + deepstrain service install to auto-start both on boot.

Three tools, one loop. atlas tells you what your codebase looks like. deepstrain changes it. adauto turns the change into distribution. Each tool knows about the others and cross-references them in its output.
