What it does
Ig Carousel is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/instagram-agent-skill. Build an Instagram carousel - the cover that earns the swipe, slide-by-slide copy, and the 1080x1350 files to upload. Use when the user says "carousel", "slides", "swipe post", "turn this into a carousel", or has a list-shaped or step-shaped idea that would die as a single image.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: Thirteen Claude skills that run an Instagram account: Reels off 26 scored hook formulas, a viral research skill, a caption linter, and a humanizer. Free, MIT. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says carousel
- Turn this into a carousel
- Has a list-shaped
- Step-shaped idea that would die as a single image
Example prompts
- “carousel”
- “slides”
- “swipe post”
- “/ig-carousel”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d03c56b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Ig Carousel loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 466 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Build an Instagram carousel - the cover that earns the swipe, slide-by-slide copy, and the 1080x1350 files to upload. Use when the user says "carousel", "slides", "swipe post", "turn this into a carousel", or has a list-shaped or step-shaped idea that would die as a single image.
ig-carousel
Carousels are the highest-dwell format on the grid, because a swipe is an interaction and a scroll is not. They also get a second chance: Instagram can show a carousel again starting from a later slide to someone who did not engage the first time, so slide two has to stand on its own as well.
The format rewards one idea broken into steps. It punishes a caption cut into pieces.
When to use it instead of a Reel
Use a carousel when the idea has sequence and needs to be re-read: steps, a framework with parts, a before and after, a list worth screenshotting. Use a Reel when the idea has motion, a face, or a payoff that has to be seen happening.
If the idea is one claim, it is neither. Hand it to /ig-reel and say so.
Structure
6 to 10 slides. The cap is 20 and 20 is almost always a book nobody finishes. Under 5 and the swipe never starts.
1 COVER the hook. 6 words or fewer, at a size that is legible in
the grid at thumbnail. One line of promise under it.
2 THE STAKE why this matters, in one sentence. This slide is also a
second cover, so it cannot be setup.
3 to N ONE IDEA PER SLIDE. A headline of 3 to 7 words, at most 25 words
under it. If a slide needs a paragraph, it is two slides.
N+1 RECAP the whole thing as a list. This is the screenshot slide.
LAST CTA one action. Save, comment a keyword, or follow. One.Slide copy rules
- The cover is 80% of the result. Six words. Big. Nothing on the deck saves a cover nobody swipes.
- Design for the grid crop. The profile grid crops to a portrait rectangle that is taller than it is wide, and the exact ratio has moved more than once. Build at 1080x1350 and keep the cover text well inside the middle, clear of the outer 120 pixels on every side, and the crop stops mattering.
- Number the slides (3/8). Completion goes up when people can see the end.
- No slide is a paragraph. If it cannot be said in 25 words, split it.
- The recap slide is the one people screenshot and send. Sends are the strongest signal you can earn. Make it standalone and readable with no context.
- The handle on every slide, small, bottom corner. Screenshots travel without you.
- Alt text on the cover at minimum. It is read by screen readers and by Instagram.

Building the files
Instagram wants 1080x1350 (4:5), JPEG or PNG, up to 20 items. Build it as HTML and print each slide:
# one <section> per slide, 1080x1350, page-break-after: always
# then Chrome headless --print-to-pdf, or any HTML-to-image you already useWrite the HTML with width:1080px; height:1350px, a single accent colour, and
type no smaller than 32px, because this is read on a phone at a third of its
real size. If the project has a brand skill or a design system, use it and do
not invent a palette.
Output
The slide-by-slide copy first, as a numbered list the user can read in ten
seconds and edit before anything is rendered. Then the caption, which for a
carousel is Job B in /ig-caption: the caption is doing work here, because the
cover has already used its six words.
Run both through /ig-human. Build the files only after the user approves the
copy.
