What is Carousel Writer?
The Carousel Writer is a specialized agent skill designed to create swipeable, multi-slide social media posts for platforms like LinkedIn (PDF), Instagram, and TikTok. Built on the principle that carousels drive high save rates and dwell times, this skill avoids walls of text in favor of highly legible, mobile-first slide copy. It helps developers and marketers structure coherent narratives, ensuring each slide maintains visual hierarchy and naturally leads to the next.
By pulling brand context directly from baseline documents, this skill maintains brand voice consistency. It integrates with creative utilities to offer structured design direction and pre-formatted image-generation prompts, bridging the gap between copy and visual assets within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
Carousel Writer Use Cases
- Repurposing long-form technical blogs, documentation, or markdown files into digestible social slides.
- Creating educational, multi-slide teaching carousels for LinkedIn (PDF format) and Instagram.
- Structuring step-by-step visual guides, listicles, frameworks, or before-and-after case studies.
- Generating automated visual prompts alongside slide copy to accelerate graphic design workflows.
How Carousel Writer Works
- Load Foundation Profiles: The skill starts by reading brand-profile.md and voice.md to inherit specific style rules, visual constraints, and compliance guardrails.
- Define Goal and Platform Specs: It establishes a single core message and targets a platform format (such as Instagram square or LinkedIn PDF) to adapt layout and aspect ratios.
- Draft the Cover Slide: Using the hook-writer, it crafts a cover slide designed to capture user attention and clearly promise the carousel's value.
- Structure the Narrative Arc: It maps out a logical flow (such as a story, listicle, or framework) ensuring each slide represents a single, distinct idea.
- Write Minimal Slide Copy: The skill writes high-readability headlines and short body text optimized for mobile readability.
- Create a Save-Leaning Call-to-Action: It designs a final payoff slide ending with a clear CTA designed to optimize for saves and bookmarks.
- Generate Visual Specs and Prompts: It outputs design directions and text-friendly image generation prompts (e.g., for Nano Banana or Ideogram).
- Handoff to Captions and Scheduling: The final asset is routed to caption-writer and scheduling-and-queue skills for publishing.
