What it does

Social Carousel is an agent skill from sanqiufong/slides-from-anything. A three-card social-media carousel laid out as 1080×1080 squares — three cinematic, on-brand panels with display headlines that connect across the series ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead."). Each card has a brand mark, a number / total, a caption, and a "loop" affordance. Use when the brief asks for a "carousel post", "social carousel", "Instagram carousel", "LinkedIn series", "X thread cards", or "三连发".

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Infographics. It works with Instagram and LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Turn anything into slides. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The brief asks for a carousel post
  • Social carousel
  • Instagram carousel
  • LinkedIn series

Example prompts

  • “onwards.”
  • “to the next one.”
  • “looking ahead.”
  • “/social-carousel”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif
  2. Pick the theme + 3 captions from the brief. The captions must read
  3. Stage — full-bleed dark page. Top header strip
  4. Cards — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow
  5. Write a single HTML document
  6. Self-check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65da4ac. 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

    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

Social Carousel loads about 956 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 390 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~956

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.

Design a 3-card cinematic social carousel — ‘onwards.’, ‘to the next one.’, ‘looking ahead.’. 1080×1080 squares, drop-into-Instagram ready.

Produce a 3-panel social carousel on a single dark stage. Each panel is a 1080×1080 cinematic still — connected as a series, but each readable on its own.

Workflow

  1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the headline lockups and a mono token for stamps / counters.
  2. Pick the theme + 3 captions from the brief. The captions must read as one sentence when stacked: ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead." or "input." → "iterate." → "ship.").
  3. Stage — full-bleed dark page. Top header strip:
    • Left: serif italic display "Three posts. One beat."
    • Just below the title: a one-line description in muted mono ("1080×1080 · cinematic video loops · minimal type. Drop into Instagram, LinkedIn, or X — each post stands on its own or runs as a three-part series.").
    • Right: small mono badge "SERIES · 01 → 03".
  4. Cards — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow viewports). Each card is aspect-ratio: 1 / 1 with rounded 12px corners and a subtle 1px border, plus a soft drop shadow.
    • Background: a layered gradient that suggests a cinematic photo — for example, panel 1 = warm dawn meadow (stacked greens with a cyan sky wash); panel 2 = forest dusk (warm oranges fading into deep teals); panel 3 = pink-mountain ridge (rosy peaks against a dim violet sky). Use radial-gradient + linear-gradient only — no images.
    • Top-left chip: brand wordmark in serif italic ("Jerrod Lew") with a small accent dot.
    • Top-left below chip: micro mono index "AI · 01 / 03" (and 02, 03).
    • Bottom-left: the headline lockup in white serif display, italic accent on one word.
    • Bottom-right corner: a 1× LOOP mono stamp inside a thin border.
    • Bottom strip caption: small caps mono describing the imagined frame ("Man, walking forward — close.", "Woman, stepping into frame.", "Woman, overlooking the city.").
  5. Write a single HTML document:
    • <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
    • Cards are sized via width: clamp(280px, 30vw, 380px) so 3 fit comfortably across most desktops and stack at < 1100px.
    • data-od-id on stage, each card, each headline.
  6. Self-check:
    • The three headlines together form one sentence and feel cinematic.
    • Mono is used only for the wordmark index, the loop stamp, and the bottom captions. The headlines stay serif.
    • Each panel's color story is distinct — no two share a dominant hue.
