social-carousel
A three-card social-media carousel laid out as 1080×1080 squares — three cinematic, on-brand panels with display headlines that connect across the series ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead."). Each card has a brand mark, a number / total, a caption, and a "loop" affordance. Use when the brief asks for a "carousel post", "social carousel", "Instagram carousel", "LinkedIn series", "X thread cards", or "三连发".

# Social Carousel Skill Produce a 3-panel social carousel on a single dark stage. Each panel is a 1080×1080 cinematic still — connected as a series, but each readable on its own. ## Workflow 1. **Read the active DESIGN.md** (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the headline lockups and a mono token for stamps / counters. 2. **Pick the theme + 3 captions** from the brief. The captions must read as one sentence when stacked: ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead." or "input." → "iterate." → "ship."). 3. **Stage** — full-bleed dark page. Top header strip: - Left: serif italic display "Three posts. One beat." - Just below the title: a one-line description in muted mono ("1080×1080 · cinematic video loops · minimal type. Drop into Instagram, LinkedIn, or X — each post stands on its own or runs as a three-part series."). - Right: small mono badge "SERIES · 01 → 03". 4. **Cards** — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow viewports). Each card is `aspect-ratio: 1 / 1` with rounded 12px corners and a subtle 1px border, plus a soft drop shadow. - Background: a layered gradient that *suggests* a cinematic photo — for example, panel 1 = warm dawn meadow

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
