What it does
Give it a topic or an idea and it plans the deck, writes one idea per slide, checks every claim, renders the slides and writes the caption. The style is sparse and bold: a big uppercase headline with exactly one highlighted word, the same frame on every slide, step pills, tip strips, stat slides, and a final slide that flips to your accent colour so the reader's thumb stops on the ask.
Your brand colours, fonts and handle come from your workspace. Nothing about any one business is built in. It renders through the social-visuals skill, which ships in the same plugin, so there is nothing to install.
Say this to start
Type the command, or just say what you want. Any of these will do it:
/create-visuals
> build a carousel about [your topic]
> carousel on this topic
> LinkedIn carousel
> document post
> swipe deck
> turn this idea into a carousel
> write and design a carousel
When to reach for it
- you have an idea and want a LinkedIn document post out of it
- you want carousel slides for Instagram or Facebook
- you want a how-to, a checklist or a myth-versus-fact deck
- you have a verified client result worth a case study deck
When NOT to use it
| If you actually want | Use this instead |
|---|
| slides rendered from copy that is already written slide by slide, such as the content build's carousel and image posts | social-visuals |
| a single image post or ad image | social-visuals or creative-director |
| a plain-text post with no slides | social-caption-writer |
Before you start
| What you need | Why | |
|---|
| A topic or an idea | it plans and writes the deck from this | Required |
| Your verified claims file | it decides which numbers, results, quotes and credentials may appear. Without it you get one line saying so, and a deck with no specific claims about your business, its results or its clients | Required |
| Your Brand DNA: voice, colours, fonts and handle | the slides and caption are written in your voice and built in your brand. If no palette exists, it asks once for a dark colour and an accent colour | Required |
| Your testimonials file | only items cleared for public use may appear on a slide | Optional |
| A headshot file | can be shown on the final slide | Optional |
| An image generation tool connected to your workspace | only for an optional photo on the cover. Body slides stay type-only in this style | Optional |
How it runs
- It loads your brand and your proofYour verified claims, voice, cleared testimonials, colours, fonts, handle and any earlier carousels. If the topic is clearly about a different business than the active workspace, it asks which workspace first. One workspace's claims are never used for another.
- It settles the brief, with at most one questionThe topic, the reader, the platform (LinkedIn by default), the deck shape, the slide count (8 to 10 by default) and the call to action mode. It states its choices in one line and carries on.
- It writes the deckThe cover names the reader or their problem, not the tool or the brand. One idea per slide: a headline of 3 to 8 words and a body of 1 to 3 short sentences. Exactly one highlighted word in every headline. A market fact needs a named public source on the slide.
- It checks before renderingThe slide text goes through the claim lint and the claim grader, then a deck check: one highlight per headline, the call to action rules, the cover's slide count, no emoji or dashes, and 3 to 20 slides. Nothing renders until all of them pass. A claim that fails is removed, made generic, or you are asked to confirm it.
- It renders the slidesA PNG per slide and a PDF, through the
social-visuals renderer. The rendered words must match the text that passed the checks.
- It looks at every slideThe right words, one highlight per headline, nothing clipped, and a final slide that matches the call to action mode. It fixes and re-renders before going on.
- Caption and document titleIt writes the caption and, for LinkedIn, the document title. Both go through a voice check, a caption check and the claim checks.
- DeliveryYou get the slides, the PDF, the document title and the caption ready to paste. It asks whether any new confirmed fact should be added to your verified claims.
Deck shapes
| Shape | Use when |
|---|
| Walkthrough (default) | steps, a system, a how-to |
| Case study | a verified client result, from your verified claims only |
| Contrarian | an opinion piece |
| Checklist | things to have or do before something |
| Myth vs fact | correcting a common belief |
Call to action modes
| Mode | What it means |
|---|
| Direct | one explicit ask: a link, comment a word, send a DM, book a call |
| Soft | a nudge only: save this, follow for the next one |
| None | no ask at all. The deck ends on its last idea, with no call to action slide |
What you get
- A PDF of the deck for a LinkedIn document post
- A PNG per slide, 1080 by 1350, for Instagram or Facebook. Square on request
- The caption, ready to paste
- For LinkedIn, the document title, 60 characters or fewer. The title and the caption always come together
- Every run saved as a new version. An earlier version is never overwritten
- A line in your workspace assets file, if you keep one
Honest limits
Read this before you rely on it
- Every number, result, client name, quote, credential and "I did this" statement must trace to your verified claims or cleared testimonials. Without them the deck stays general.
- It never invents an example figure that reads as real.
- Under the none mode there is no call to action slide and nothing replaces it. It never writes "link in bio" unless you confirmed the link is there.
- A photo is optional and only on the cover. It needs a connected image generation tool and your approval of the cost first. Body slides stay type-only.
- A decorative serif reads poorly in uppercase at this size. It prefers your brand's sans font for headlines when it has one.
Where people go wrong
| The mistake | Do this instead |
|---|
| Handing it copy you already wrote slide by slide | Use social-visuals. It renders your exact words without rewriting them. |
| Asking for "link in bio" when there is no link in your bio | Add the link first, or pick the soft or none mode. |
| Wanting a statistic on a slide with no source | Give it a named public source, or a fact from your verified claims. Otherwise the stat does not go in. |
| Rewriting the whole deck to change one slide | Ask for that slide only. It re-checks that slide, re-renders and saves the next version. A caption-only change needs no re-render. |
Worth knowingThe highlighted word is the most recognisable part of the style. It is the topic anchor, the contrast or the promise, and there is exactly one per headline. Never two, never none.
