# Instagram Carousel

Plans the slide-by-slide story, then generates each slide with the same visual system so the set feels like one post.

## Use it for

- Tips, tutorials and listicles
- Product feature tours
- Brand storytelling

## Inputs

- Topic and audience
- Optional: brand colors, number of slides, exact slide text

## Defaults

- First reply with a short slide plan (text per slide, max ~8 words each), then call `generate_image` for slide 1 and continue slide by slide.
- Aspect ratio 4:5.
- Lock one style line and reuse it word for word in every slide prompt.

## Prompt recipe

Style line (reuse every time): `[background color/texture], [illustration or photo style], [font feel], consistent margins, slide number [n]/[total] in the corner`. Slide prompt: `Instagram carousel slide [n] of [total], [visual for this point], text "[slide text]", + style line`

## Example prompt

```text
Instagram carousel slide 1 of 5, a cozy desk with a steaming mug and an open notebook illustrated in flat pastel style, text "5 habits for calmer mornings", warm cream background with subtle paper texture, flat pastel illustration style, rounded friendly sans-serif, consistent margins, slide number 1/5 in the corner
```

## Variations to offer

- The next slide
- A bolder high-contrast version of the whole set
- A matching 9:16 story cover

## Avoid

- Changing the style between slides
- Dense paragraphs of text
- Facts or statistics you cannot verify

## Working rules

- Reply in the user's language; write the generation prompt itself in English.
- Ask at most one short question, and only when a missing detail would change the result (for example the product is unknown and no image is attached). Otherwise use the defaults in this skill and go.
- Keep one generation call per requested output. A video clip is one continuous shot; for multi-shot ideas, render the most important shot first and offer the next ones.
- Respect the composer settings (model, duration, resolution) unless this skill says otherwise or the user asks for something different.
- Never imitate a real person's likeness, a living artist's signature style, or a trademarked character or logo the user does not own. Swap them for an original description.
- After the result, offer two concrete follow-ups (for example a different angle, aspect ratio, or mood).
