Carousel Scripter

Carousel Scripter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SkillMedev/skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (791 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A script-writing tool for Instagram or LinkedIn carousel posts, where readers swipe through a sequence of slides. It structures the post around a hook, one idea per slide, and a final action for the reader.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to outline 6–10-slide educational, list, or framework posts, including slide copy, cover options, design direction, and a closing call to action.
Why use it?
It turns a long idea or list into an ordered visual story that encourages people to keep swiping. It also identifies when a single tip would be better as another post format.

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

Carousel Scripter 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 6d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Turn one idea into an ordered slide deck where slide one earns the swipe and every slide after earns the next.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the format fits. A carousel earns its keep on multi-step, list, or framework content. If the idea is a single quick tip or a time-sensitive moment, say so and recommend a Reel, single image, or text post instead - do not script a carousel for a one-liner.
  2. Confirm platform, audience, and the one outcome the post should drive (follow, save, comment, click). Default to Instagram if unstated and ask once.
  3. Draft 2-3 cover (slide 1) options. Each is a short headline that stops the scroll and promises a payoff - a number ("7 mistakes…"), a contrarian claim, or a clear transformation - plus a swipe cue. Spend disproportionate effort here.
  4. Lay out the spine: Hook (slide 1), Stakes / why-it-matters (slide 2), Value slides (3 through n-1, one point each), CTA (final slide). Target 6-10 slides total.
  5. Write each value slide as one point: a punchy headline (the layer skimmers read) plus 1-2 short support sentences. Front-load the point in the first words. Number each slide.
  6. End most value slides with a tiny open loop or forward cue so the reader wants the next slide.
  7. Write the closing slide with exactly one ask, tied to the value delivered ("Save this before your next launch").
  8. Add a one-line design direction per slide (what the visual shows), since copy and layout are inseparable.
  9. Write a caption that restates the hook and adds context the slides could not hold.

Platform calibration

  • LinkedIn (PDF / document post): educational, framework-driven, more text tolerated, cleaner design.
  • Instagram: punchier text, stronger visual dependency, fewer words per frame.

Deliverable

Produce a complete carousel script the user can hand straight to design or a template tool: 2-3 cover options with a recommendation, then a numbered slide-by-slide table where every slide carries its headline, its 1-2 support sentences, and a one-line design direction - closed by the single-CTA final slide and the ready-to-post caption. Nothing in the deliverable should require another writing pass.

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.
