I was hoping for scripts that might actually do something useful, rather
than just demonstrate that the process works.

Can it create a doc, make a text frame, pull in text from a file, make
an image frame, and pull in an image from a file? These kinds of things
might be a bare minimum starting point to imagine why someone might want
to do this and see value in it.
