Pipeline

Extract — fetch blog post content via web fetch
Plan — write a plan.json with slide content and image prompts
Generate Backgrounds — AI image generation via Fal API
Text Overlay — Pillow composites text onto backgrounds with brand styling
Output — numbered slide images + caption.txt

Plan JSON Schema

{
  "angle": "how-to | listicle | hot-take | story-arc | myth-busting",
  "style_prefix": "Shared image generation prompt prefix (~30 words)",
  "slides": [
    {
      "headline": "Short headline (≤8 words)",
      "body": "Supporting text (≤20 words)",
      "bg_prompt": "Background image description (NO text in image)",

  ],
  "caption": "Full Instagram caption with hook, value, CTA, hashtags"
}

Image Style Tips

Good:

Bright, warm, natural lighting
Clean, airy, modern aesthetic
Contextual imagery illustrating each slide's topic
Editorial photography feel

Avoid:

Baked-in text/words in generated images
Dark, moody backgrounds (unless that's your brand)
Abstract meaningless gradients

Dependencies

Python 3 with Pillow, requests: pip3 install Pillow requests
Fal API key at ~/.config/fal/api_key
Brand fonts in $SKILL_DIR/fonts/
OpenRouter API key for auto-planning (optional): ~/.config/openrouter/api_key

Costs

~$0.15/image via Fal
~$1.20 for 8 slides

Tips

First slide = strong hook/title card
Last slide = CTA with link
Keep text SHORT — Instagram is visual-first
Raw backgrounds saved as raw_NN.png — re-composite without regenerating images
