instagram-carousel

instagram-carousel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from canvora/canvora-mcp. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,357 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating Instagram carousels, which are posts made of several swipeable images. It shapes the content and passes it to Canvora for layout, imagery, and visual composition.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for making educational posts, listicles, swipe posts, and other multi-slide Instagram content. It can help structure the topic, choose the number of items, select a client brand, and refine the result.
Why use it?
It helps turn a topic into a suitable slide sequence without requiring the user to plan every slide's design. It also covers choosing a slide count and, when available, a brand's settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

instagram-carousel scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Map the user's intent onto the right Canvora levers. Canvora's carousel pipeline owns the design execution — layout, composition, imagery, visual variety per slide. Your job is the content and the parameters. Setup, credits, and general CLI usage: see the canvora skill.

Intake — ask only what you can't infer

Usually you already know the topic. Then you need at most two more things:

  1. How many items? ("5 tips" → 5, plus a cover if they want one). If they don't say, use 6.
  2. Whose brand? If a client/company is named → canvora brands --json--brand. If they have no kit, don't ask again.

Anything else — style, language, CTA — infer it and state your assumption in one line when you report back. Do not run a questionnaire.

The rule that matters

Don't art-direct slide by slide. Do not prescribe per-slide layouts, color values, or illustration details; over-specified briefs fight the tuned format pipeline and produce worse, samey output.

But do carry the user's stated look. If they said "black and white with big type" or "hand-drawn", pass it through as one line of overall direction. It is honoured, and dropping it is the more common and more damaging mistake. The line is: overall aesthetic = yes, slide-by-slide instructions = no.

Parameter mapping (your actual job)

User intent Lever
Any IG carousel --format instagram_carousel_portrait (1080×1350 — outperforms square for reach). Square (instagram_carousel) only if they ask for it.
"N tips/mistakes/steps" --slides instagram_carousel_portrait=N (or N+1 with a cover). Never leave a promised count unmatched. No count promised → 6.
A named client or brand canvora brands --json--brand <uuid>. Mandatory when a kit exists. Add --logo to actually stamp the logo.
Tone words --style: educational/punchy → bold; clean/professional → modern or minimal; luxury/coaching → elegant; consumer/fun → playful.
No tone signal at all --style modern. Note: omitting the flag does NOT auto-pick — it pins modern anyway. Choosing deliberately is free.
"End with a follow/save CTA" --cta (final slide becomes the call to action)
Exact wording required (quotes, taglines) --input "..." --exact
User gave a topic only --idea (Canvora develops the substance)
User gave finished content --input (wording respected)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
