# Instagram Carousel Planner Plan a carousel that gets swiped to the end and saved. The whole game is slide 1 (the swipe-earning hook) and the last slide (the saveable payoff). This skill maps every slide, writes the on-image text, and drafts the caption that frames it. ## When to use - User wants to turn a topic or notes into a multi-slide carousel - User has a list, a framework, or a transformation to teach - User wants a slide-by-slide structure, not just a caption ## Formulas this skill uses (carousel shapes) | Code | Formula | Primary goal | Best for | |---|---|---|---| | IG5 | Listicle Carousel | saves | a numbered teaching list, one item per slide | | IG6 | Before/After Transformation | saves, follows | proof of a result with the steps between | | IG7 | Myth-Buster | shares | correcting beliefs your niche holds | | IG8 | Steal-This Framework | saves | a named, repeatable framework | Full skeletons in `../../references/hook-formulas.md`. ## Slide architecture (the 10-slide spine) A carousel is 2-10 slides (API limit). The reliable spine: | Slide | Role | |---|---| | **1 (hook)** | the promise + an open loop ("most miss #4"). Earns the swipe. Big text, one idea. | | **2-3** | the strongest value, front-loaded (swipe-through decays with depth). | | **4 to N-1** | one point per slide, each standing alone, each readable in 2 seconds. | | **N (payoff)** | the one-slide summary (the saveable artifact) + one clear ask (save / follow). | 6-10 slides is the sweet spot ...
