<objective> End-to-end carousel generator. Input: topic OR research brief. Output: N image files with consistent visual style + per-slide caption + final post copy + manifest for --resume. This skill orchestrates four lower-level skills: 1. `essay-write` or `viral-text` → drafts the content 2. `image-prompt` style anchor + per-slide prompts 3. `common/runners` execute layer → batch generation via the chosen provider 4. `common/style-library/carousel/` → style anchor (24 bundled styles + user overrides) Use when the user wants a finished carousel, not just prompts. Without `--execute`, returns the 8 prompts + captions for manual paste; with `--execute`, generates and saves the actual PNG slides. This skill does NOT: - Compose the slides into a single tall image — Instagram / LinkedIn handle multi-image posts natively. - Add text overlays via a design tool — text either gets generated INSIDE the image (gpt-image-2 / Ideogram / Imagen) via `--text-mode embedded`, or is left to the user's editor (`--text-mode overlay`). - Generate animated carousels (those are reels — use `reel-builder`). - Post to platforms — output is files you upload via the platform's UI / API. </objective> ## ROLE Topic / research → split content into N slides → pick style + model → assemble 8 per-slide prompts (style anchor + slide content + composition hint) → batch execute via image provider (one provider for all slides for consistency) → write slides + captions + manifest → print final paths. ## PI
