ig-carousel-plannerPlan an Instagram carousel slide by slide, up to 10 slides, with a hook slide that opens a loop, value slides that front-load the payoff, and a payoff slide that earns the save and follow.
Ig Carousel Planner is an agent skill from sergebulaev/instagram-skills. Plan an Instagram carousel slide by slide, up to 10 slides, with a hook slide that opens a loop, value slides that front-load the payoff, and a payoff slide that earns the save and follow. Picks a 2026 carousel formula (listicle, before/after, myth-buster, framework) by goal (saves, shares, follows), drafts each slide's text plus the caption, then publishes the images you supply via Publora. Use to structure a multi-slide carousel. Not for single-image captions (use ig-caption-writer).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/slide-architecture.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Slides and decks. It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: Instagram marketing skills for Claude Code and Codex: captions, carousels, hooks, hashtag strategy, and a weekly plan. Draft, humanize, and publish via Publora. MIT. Content… The licence is MIT.
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 652be40. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
instagram.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Ig Carousel Planner loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,037 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.
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.

The whole game is slide 1 (the swipe-earning hook) and the last slide (the saveable payoff). This skill maps every slide, writes the on-image text, and drafts the caption that frames it.
| Code | Formula | Primary goal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| IG5 | Listicle Carousel | saves | a numbered teaching list, one item per slide |
| IG6 | Before/After Transformation | saves, follows | proof of a result with the steps between |
| IG7 | Myth-Buster | shares | correcting beliefs your niche holds |
| IG8 | Steal-This Framework | saves | a named, repeatable framework |
Full skeletons in ../../references/hook-formulas.md.
A carousel is 2-10 slides (API limit). The reliable spine:
| Slide | Role |
|---|---|
| 1 (hook) | the promise + an open loop ("most miss #4"). Earns the swipe. Big text, one idea. |
| 2-3 | the strongest value, front-loaded (swipe-through decays with depth). |
| 4 to N-1 | one point per slide, each standing alone, each readable in 2 seconds. |
| N (payoff) | the one-slide summary (the saveable artifact) + one clear ask (save / follow). |
6-10 slides is the sweet spot for a teaching carousel. Fewer than 4 is usually a
single image. See references/slide-architecture.md for per-formula spines.
Voice profile first (all drafts). If ../../references/voice-profile.md has filled: yes, load it and match the user's voice fingerprint, hard rules, and CTA/link style throughout. If it is not filled, mention once that ig-humanizer --mode profile can learn their voice from a few posts, then proceed with the generic voice rules.
Never invent the specifics. The rules below ask for a concrete number, a date and a named entity, because that is what separates a real post from a generated one. Take them from what the user actually said in this conversation. Do not invent a figure, a date, a client name or a result, and do not soften a vague claim into a plausible-looking number. If the user has nothing concrete for a beat, ask them once, and if they still have nothing, drop the claim rather than decorate it. A published invented number is a retraction; a missing one is only a weaker post.
