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:
1. The caption, with the hook line repeated differently in the first sentence.
2. The visual note per slide (what's shown, not just said).
3. 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.
