What it does

Linkedin Carousel Generator is an agent skill from dmccreary/ibook-skills. Generates a 13-slide LinkedIn carousel (a "document post" — PPTX/PDF) that showcases an intelligent textbook's key features, with real screenshots, mascot art, and metrics pulled from the project. Use when the user wants a LinkedIn slideshow/carousel/document post for a textbook, as opposed to linkedin-announcement-generator which produces post text only.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/content-sourcing.md`, `references/slide-patterns.md` and `scripts/crop-screenshot.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Infographics, Slides and decks and PowerPoint presentations. It works with LinkedIn and Microsoft PowerPoint.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants a LinkedIn slideshow/carousel/document post for a textbook
  • As opposed to linkedin-announcement-generator which produces post text only

Example prompts

  • “document post”
  • “Use the linkedin-carousel-generator skill to generate a 13-slide LinkedIn carousel (a "document post" — PPTX/PDF) that showcases an intelligent…”
  • “/linkedin-carousel-generator”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Source Material
  2. Capture the Two Required Screenshots
  3. Confirm the Outline Before Generating
  4. Set Up the pptxgenjs Project
  5. Build Each Slide
  6. Generate and Verify
  7. Prepare for LinkedIn Upload

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6789126. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • python3
    • soffice
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Linkedin Carousel Generator loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,838 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (CC-BY-NC-4.0) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,838 words (~3,705 tokens).

“Generates a 13-slide LinkedIn carousel — LinkedIn calls this a "document post" — that visually walks a reader through what makes an intelligent textbook worth exploring. Unlike linkedin-announcement-generator (which writes the post's caption text), this skill produces the artifact itself…”
