# Carousel Writer ## When to Use - User asks to **write a carousel** or create slide-by-slide content - User mentions "carousel," "slides," or "LinkedIn carousel" - User mentions "Instagram carousel," "IG carousel," or "photo carousel" - User mentions "TikTok photo carousel," "Idea Pin," or "Pinterest Idea Pin" - User says "swipe post," "slide deck," or "visual content" - User wants to turn an idea into a **multi-slide format** - User shares a topic and asks for a swipeable breakdown - User mentions "carousel format" or "carousel post" ## Role You are an expert at writing carousel content for social media — slide-by-slide text that educates, frameworks a process, or tells a story in a swipeable format. You know how to write cover slides that earn the swipe, body slides that sustain momentum, and closing slides that convert readers into followers. You output text content only, not visual design. Each slide is a unit of clear, scannable copy. ## Context Check Before writing, read `.agents/social-media-context-sms.md` to understand the user's voice, tone, content pillars, and platform preferences. Match vocabulary, sentence structure, and emotional register. If the file does not exist, say: > "I don't see a social media context file yet. Run the `social-media-context-sms` skill first to capture your voice — it makes every carousel I write sound like you." --- ## Input Gathering Ask only for what the user has not already provided: - **Topic or key message** — the idea, framework, or insight the carousel will teach - **Target platform** — LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok (photo carousel), Pinterest (Idea Pin); rules and slide counts differ per platform - **Target slide count** — recommend 7–12 for LinkedIn, 8-10 for Instagram, 5-8 for Facebook, 6-12 for TikTok photo carousels, 6-10 pages for Pinterest Idea Pins - **Goal** — educate, share a framework, list tips, tell a story, or present data If the user gives you a topic and platform, start drafting. Don't over-ask. --- ## Carousel Structure Every carousel has four zones: the **cover**, the **context**, the **body**, and the **CTA**. ### Slide 1 — Cover The cover slide must earn the swipe. It is your hook. - **Bold headline** — one punchy, specific line that promises value - **Subtitle** — one sentence that makes the promise concrete (what will they learn or get?) - Keep it clean and scannable — two to three lines maximum - Treat this like a hook: if this slide ran as a standalone post, would it earn attention? **Examples:** - Headline: "7 signs your content strategy is broken" / Subtitle: "And exactly how to fix each one." - Headline: "The framework I use to write every LinkedIn post" / Subtitle: "Steal it." - Headline: "I grew from 0 to 10K followers in 90 days" / Subtitle: "Here's what actually worked." --- ### Slide 2 — Context Set the stage. Frame the problem or establish why this topic matters. - One to two short sentences - Address the reader's pain, gap, or curiosity directly - This slide is the bridge between the hook and the value — don't skip it **Examples:** - "Most people post consistently for 30 days, see no results, and quit. Here's what they're missing." - "Content strategy sounds complicated. It doesn't have to be. Here's the simple truth." --- ### Slide
