What it does
Viral Carousel is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Finds the carousels that actually went viral in your niche, fetches every slide, breaks down why each one worked, and builds your own carousel on that proven structure in your words and your design. Use when the user says "find viral carousels", "what carousels are working in my niche", "make a carousel like this one", "copy the structure of this carousel", or before posting any carousel.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 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 Media & Creative, covering Slides and decks. It works with Instagram. 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 find viral carousels
- What carousels are working in my niche
- Make a carousel like this one
- Copy the structure of this carousel
Example prompts
- “find viral carousels”
- “what carousels are working in my niche”
- “make a carousel like this one”
- “/viral-carousel”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find. Pull the last 30-50 posts of each account (Instagram Graph API business_discovery, the Composio
- Rank. For each account, compute its median likes + comments.
- Fetch. For the top 3-5 viral carousels, download every slide and the caption.
- Break down. Run this on each one
- Build. Hand the structure to carousel-builder
- Render and post. Render the slides in your own design (HTML to PNG, or your design tool), then post.
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
Viral Carousel loads about 939 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 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.

Viral Carousel - find the winners, then build yours on their structure
Making a carousel with Claude is the easy part. Knowing which carousel to make is the hard part. This skill does the hard part first: it finds what your niche is already saving, then builds yours on that shape.
When to use
Before you post any carousel. Also when a carousel in your niche blew up and you want yours built the same way.
What you'll need
Your niche, 5-10 accounts you compete with (or carousel links), and your topic. For live numbers: the Instagram connector (Composio, or Ootto at ootto.ai) so Claude can read posts and counts.
Instructions
- Find. Pull the last 30-50 posts of each account (Instagram Graph API
business_discovery, the Composio Instagram tools, or the links the user pastes). Keep only carousels. - Rank. For each account, compute its median likes + comments. Mark a carousel viral when it beats its own account median by 3x or more. A small account's 3x beats a big account's average, because it proves the post, not the follower count.
- Fetch. For the top 3-5 viral carousels, download every slide and the caption.
- Break down. Run this on each one:
You are my carousel analyst. Here are the slides and caption of a carousel that went viral: [SLIDES + CAPTION].
For every slide give me: its job (hook / payoff / proof / step / summary / ask), the words on it, and why it is there.
Then tell me:
- Slide 1: what makes it stop the scroll (claim, number, contrast, question).
- Where the proof sits, and what kind it is (a result, a screenshot, a number).
- The slide people save, and why they would.
- Where the ask is, and what it asks for.
- The slide count and the reading rhythm (one idea per slide or not).
Finish with the STRUCTURE as a numbered list of slide jobs, with no topic words in it.- Build. Hand the structure to carousel-builder:
Build my carousel on this proven structure: [STRUCTURE].
My topic: [TOPIC]. My audience: [WHO]. My ask: [save / follow / comment WORD].
Keep every slide's job. Write every word fresh in my voice. Use my colours, fonts and handle.- Render and post. Render the slides in your own design (HTML to PNG, or your design tool), then post. With Ootto connected, Claude designs the slides and posts them to your Instagram for you.
Output
- The viral carousels it found, each with its multiple over its account median.
- A slide-by-slide breakdown of each one.
- The reusable structure.
- Your carousel, written on that structure, ready to render.
Honesty: Copy the structure, never the slides. Every word, image and design on your carousel must be yours, and Instagram's originality checks bury reposted slides. Numbers come from the API or the user, never from a guess.
Next: carousel-builder → caption-and-hashtags
