Claude autonomously builds animated video with Whisper and Kokoro, spending $16 in cloud credits

The author shares two fully autonomous "vibe coding" runs:
- Built a sticky-note app where Claude tracks project state, next steps, and known bugs to counter both model and human drift; then had Opus 5.5 convert it into a Claude Code plugin — which also made agents themselves better oriented and scoped. Open-sourced at sticky-board
- Then let Opus 5.5 (max mode) create an animated video fully autonomously: no API keys, free to use any tools it finds, burning cloud credits. It downloaded Whisper and Kokoro, made the video in TypeScript, rendered in headless Chromium, did spectrogram work — landing at $16 total
- The only instructions: "make no mistakes, take liberty in any decision, work autonomously until done"
