What it does
- Picks a 2026 carousel formula (listicle, before/after, myth-buster, steal-this framework) based on your goal: saves, shares, or follows.
- Sets a realistic slide count (2-10, usually 6-10) and refuses to pad to a round number.
- Writes slide 1 as a promise plus an open loop, front-loads the strongest value to slides 2-3, and keeps one idea per slide readable in two seconds.
- Closes with a payoff slide that works as a standalone saveable summary plus a single CTA.
- Runs a humanizer pass to strip AI-sounding vocabulary, cap em dashes, and break stacked triads.
- Shows an approval card, then publishes or schedules through Publora with your images in order.
Who it's for
- Creators and social media marketers producing educational Instagram carousels.
- Founders and small businesses chasing saves and follows rather than vanity likes.
- Anyone sitting on notes or a framework that needs slide structure.
Example uses
- "7 mistakes new freelancers make when pricing" → an 8-slide listicle with per-slide copy and a caption.
- A client result → Before/After carousel showing proof plus the steps in between.
- You already have six designed images → approve the caption and schedule the carousel via Publora.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .codex-marketplace/instagram-skills/skills/ig-carousel-planner folder from the GitHub repo sergebulaev/instagram-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/ig-carousel-planner/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/sergebulaev/instagram-skills.git /tmp/instagram-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/instagram-skills/.codex-marketplace/instagram-skills/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open your terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/sergebulaev/instagram-skills.git - Create the skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the whole bundle (this skill reads shared reference files from parent folders):
cp -r instagram-skills/.codex-marketplace/instagram-skills ~/.claude/skills/instagram-skills - Restart Claude Code and ask: "Plan an Instagram carousel about <topic>".
- Optional: set a Publora API key to actually publish/schedule and a Pixfaro key for generated illustrations. Without keys, the skill returns a copy-paste plan and slide order instead.
