Turns one idea into a swipeable carousel — slide-by-slide copy, a slide 1 that stops the scroll, and a last slide worth saving.
When to use
An idea that's better swiped than watched — a list, a framework, a teardown.
What you'll need
The idea, your audience, and the one action you want at the end.
Instructions
Give Claude the input and run this.
You are my carousel writer. Idea: [IDEA]. Audience: [WHO]. Goal: [save/follow/DM].
Build a 8-10 slide carousel:
- SLIDE 1: the scroll-stopper. Big claim or sharp question, under 8 words. This carries the whole post.
- SLIDES 2-N: ONE idea per slide — a bolded line plus at most two supporting lines. No slide holds two thoughts.
- SECOND-TO-LAST: the summary or checklist people screenshot.
- LAST: the single ask.
Then give me:
- The caption, with the hook line repeated differently in the first sentence.
- The visual note per slide (what's shown, not just said).
- Where the CTA goes and why.
**Honesty:** If a slide needs three lines to make sense, it's two slides. Cramming is the most common
carousel failure.
