3 things to look at

24 days oldThe repository was created 24 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Plan and write scroll-stopping social media carousels — concept, slide-by-slide copy, visual direction, and the caption — ready to hand to a designer or a design tool. Use when the user wants carousel ideas, needs to write carousel copy, is batching a month of carousels, or turning a content pillar into swipeable posts. Produces a structured carousel brief per concept. Triggers on: "carousel", "swipe post", "slide copy", "Instagram/LinkedIn carousel", "batch carousels", "content matrix".

Carousel Studio

Carousels win saves and shares because they teach in swipes. This skill turns a topic or content pillar into production-ready carousel briefs — the words and the visual direction — so a designer (or an image tool) can build them without a second conversation.

Fallback: Running in Cloud/Web Environments (e.g., Claude.ai, CoWork)

If you are running in a cloud-based or web-based environment (such as Claude.ai web or CoWork) where local file system or repository access is unavailable:

Ask the user to paste their topic, target audience, and platforms directly in the chat.
Design the concept, slide-by-slide copy, and visual directions manually in-context.
Output the structured slide-by-slide brief and the post caption using the templates below.

Workflow

Carousel Concept Ideation:
- Define the single core lesson or takeaway.
- Choose the visual/structural style (e.g., list, comparison table, step-by-step, infographic, framework breakdown).
Slide-by-Slide Writing:
- Map out the carousel slides (ideally 6-10 slides for maximum retention).
- Write short, high-impact copy for each slide. Limit text to a maximum of 25 words per slide.
Visual Direction Design:
- Add specific visual, icon, and layout instructions for each slide to guide the design phase.
Caption Writing:
- Create a matching post caption with hooks and a clear call-to-action.

Templates & Output Format

Ensure the output uses the structured slide-by-slide table format below:

1. Carousel Slide Brief (Slide-by-Slide)

Slide #	Slide Type	On-Screen Copy (Text)	Visual & Layout Direction
1	Hook (Cover)	`[Headline: Keep it under 10 words, bold, large type]`	Visual hook: High contrast background, centered text, swipe indicator.
2	The Stakes	`[1-2 sentences mapping the core pain point or status quo]`	Show a subtle illustrative chart or a warning icon.
3	Step/Idea 1	`[Title + 1 line explaining the first actionable insight]`	Grid layout, highlight key words in bold.
4	Step/Idea 2	`[Title + 1 line explaining the second actionable insight]`	Flowchart style connecting to the next slide.
5	The Payoff	`[The core "Aha!" realization or summary]`	Vibrant contrast shift, clean centered layout.
6	CTA (Last)	`[Clear instructions: Save this post, comment, or check link]`	Include save/share icons, profile handle, and brand colors.

2. Carousel Caption

💬 [Hook: Punchy question or statement matching Slide 1]

[Detailed caption body with spacing, providing extra context]

📌 Save this post for your next campaign!

[!TIP] Keep slide copy extremely brief. The design should look premium, with plenty of white space. A slide is a billboard, not a document.
