Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00111 | $0.02684 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.01342 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00537 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00268 |
Grade A, and why
design-carousel-slide 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 12d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill: carousel-slide
Produces a single self-contained HTML file containing N pixel-exact 1080×1080 canvas divs. Each canvas is an individual carousel slide; screenshot each separately at native dimensions to upload as a multi-slide post on LinkedIn or Instagram.
The carousel format is high-leverage for editorial brands — it lets the brand's longer-form thinking land in a feed that otherwise rewards single posts. The discipline: cover and closing slides do the visual work; middle slides do the content work.
When to use
- User wants a multi-slide carousel post (LinkedIn or Instagram)
- A
DESIGN.mdexists for the brand
Inputs
- Required: brand slug, post topic / thesis
- Optional: number of slides (default 5: cover + 3 content + closing), CTA text for closing slide
- Optional: content for each middle slide (or leave for the agent to draft from the topic)
Output
./design/<brand-slug>/artifacts/carousel-YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.html
Steps
1. Verify brand exists
test -f ./design/<brand-slug>/tokens.css
2. Gather the brief
Ask in one message:
1. Topic / thesis — the carousel's argument in one sentence (sentence-case ending in period per brand voice)
2. Number of slides — default 5 (1 cover + N content + 1 closing CTA); valid range 3–9 (carousel max)
3. Per-slide content — optional. If omitted, the agent drafts from the topic.
4. Closing CTA — the action you want readers to take (e.g. "read the full piece at shane.logsdon.io")
3. Pick variations — DIFFERENT archetypes for cover, content, closing
Carousel formats reward visual variation between cover and content. The discipline:
Cover slide (slide 1) — picks from the most distinctive archetypes:
single-word— one massive Fraunces serif wordinverse-text— full canvas dark inversion with the carousel's claim as the headlinenumber-led— the topic's defining stat dominates the covertype-only— the topic statement at maximum scale, no chrome
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

design-carousel-slide is a skill published in the GitHub repository slogsdon/skills-design (3 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 2,684 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

design-dna
Extract, define, and apply design DNA across three dimensions: design system (tokens), design style (qualitative feel), and visual effects (Canvas, WebGL, 3D, particles, shaders, scroll effects, etc.). Use this skill when: (1) a user wants to see the full 3-dimension design structure/schema, (2) a user provides…
component-family-consistency
Buttons, inputs, pills, badges, calendars, and other interactive components form a visual family — they share the same border-radius, colour logic, shadow scale, border style, and spacing rhythm. Inconsistency between them breaks the sense of a coherent product. Use when building or reviewing a component library…
modular-scale-typography
Typography feels cohesive and intentional when font sizes follow a modular scale — a ratio-based sequence where every size is mathematically related to the others. Use when defining type scales, setting up design tokens, reviewing font size choices, or when typography feels inconsistent or arbitrary.
extract-design
Extract a complete design system — colors, typography, spacing, components, shadows, and W3C design tokens — from any live website using Dembrandt. Runs a headless browser against the URL and returns real computed values from the DOM. Use when you need a site's actual design tokens, want to reverse-engineer a visual…

Derive a full UI colour palette algorithmically from one or two brand colours. Darker and lighter variants for interactive states, desaturated greys from the brand hue for borders and backgrounds, and semantic colours that feel coherent with the brand rather than generic.
