What it does

Carousel Builder is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Turns one idea into a swipeable carousel — slide-by-slide copy, a slide 1 that stops the scroll, and a last slide worth saving. Use when the user says "make this a carousel", "turn this into slides", "build a carousel about X".

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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. The repository describes itself as: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says make this a carousel
  • Turn this into slides
  • Build a carousel about X

Example prompts

  • “make this a carousel”
  • “turn this into slides”
  • “build a carousel about X”
  • “/carousel-builder”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • ootto.ai

    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

Carousel Builder loads about 471 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~471

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.

Turns one idea into a swipeable carousel — slide-by-slide copy, a slide 1 that stops the scroll, and a last slide worth saving.

When to use

An idea that's better swiped than watched — a list, a framework, a teardown.

What you'll need

The idea, your audience, and the one action you want at the end.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.

You are my carousel writer. Idea: [IDEA]. Audience: [WHO]. Goal: [save/follow/DM].

Build a 8-10 slide carousel:
- SLIDE 1: the scroll-stopper. Big claim or sharp question, under 8 words. This carries the whole post.
- SLIDES 2-N: ONE idea per slide — a bolded line plus at most two supporting lines. No slide holds two thoughts.
- SECOND-TO-LAST: the summary or checklist people screenshot.
- LAST: the single ask.

Then give me:
1. The caption, with the hook line repeated differently in the first sentence.
2. The visual note per slide (what's shown, not just said).
3. Where the CTA goes and why.

Honesty: If a slide needs three lines to make sense, it's two slides. Cramming is the most common carousel failure.

Next: cover-thumbnail-brief → caption-and-hashtags
