I would add a complete "hook system" where we can reference scripts on several activities/events, but post-creation comes to mind first.

I have a specific use case in mind: I have a content type that is basically a youtube video. When creating that post I would want to retrieve that videos thumbnail as a preview image to be saved next to the markdown file of the content. Currently I am doing that via creating the content > manual action with frontmatter button.

I would think that is what this feature might be about?

@davidsneighbour correct, that is my use case as well.

The postscript functionality is now available in the latest beta.

Here is what you need to do:

Create a script

The postscript functionality uses the content scripts from the frontMatter.custom.scripts settings. All you have to do is add a new id property to the script.

{
  "frontMatter.custom.scripts": [
    {
      "id": "generate-social-image",
      "title": "Generate social image",
      "script": "./scripts/social-img.js",
    }
}

Info: If you want to hide the script/action from the UI, you can add a property hidden and set it to true.

Define the postscript in the content type

The content type has a new property called: postScript, which requires the id of the script to execute.
