Carousel Automation Skill
A free Claude skill that turns a URL or topic into a finished Instagram carousel, cover image included, and can run daily on autopilot.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
You could take a blog post and turn it into carousel slides. You'd break down the key points into individual slides, usually 5-10 slides per carousel. Each slide should have a headline and supporting detail. Then you'd want a cover image that makes people want to swipe. The design should be consistent across slides with matching fonts and colors. You could use Canva or similar tools to design it. Some people automate this with tools that generate layouts. Making it shareable and visually appealing increases the chance people engage with it.
I'll convert a blog article into a finished Instagram carousel with slide-by-slide copy, a custom cover image, and a landing page preview. WORKFLOW ARTICLE PARSING You provide a URL or paste the article text. I extract: headline, key points, supporting facts, conclusion. CAROUSEL STRUCTURE Slide 1: Cover image + attention-grabbing hook (contrasts with carousel thumbnail) Slides 2-6: Each core insight gets one slide (headline + visual + 1-2 supporting lines) Slide 7: Call-to-action (link to full article, DM for more, follow for series) COPY STYLE Scannable (5-word headlines). Conversational tone matching your voice. Each slide stands alone if someone stops mid-swipe. COVER IMAGE Generated via AI image model (you describe vibe: professional, playful, trendy, educational). Image is unique, relevant to topic, designed to stop the scroll. LAYOUT PREVIEW Local landing page showing all 7 slides as they'll appear on Instagram (vertical 1080x1350px). Includes captions, spacing, text overlay color contrast checks (for legibility). EXAMPLES Article: "5 copywriting frameworks that convert" -> Slide 1: Cover image (laptop, pen, lightbulb) Slides 2-6: AIDA formula, before-after framework, problem-solution, bullet-point proof, storytelling arc Slide 7: "Read full breakdown -> link" CUSTOMIZATION Slide count (5-10 slides) Brand colors / brand font pairing Tone (punchy/detailed/entertaining) Whether to include data/statistics or narrative DELIVERABLE Ready-to-post carousel (7 images) + canva-editable template + cover image + landing page preview showing all slides.
