README

Create Carousel

OpenCode skill for creating Anthony Cueva-style LinkedIn and Instagram carousels in Pencil.

The canonical project lives here:

/Users/cuevaio/projects/create-carousel

OpenCode loads it through this symlink:

/Users/cuevaio/.agents/skills/anthony-social-carousel -> /Users/cuevaio/projects/create-carousel

What It Does

Creates 1080x1350 educational carousel decks in Pencil.
Preserves Anthony's dark/light visual system, Satoshi typography, footer, terminal cards, and slide rhythm.
Supports LinkedIn PDF/document carousels and Instagram image carousels.
Stores reusable logos, images, screenshots, memes, and profile assets under /Users/cuevaio/projects/content/assets.
Exports only x3 PNG slide images and generates the LinkedIn PDF from those same images.
Requires a rendered pre-publish visual review before tmpfiles upload or live Buffer queueing.
Queues posts through Buffer with mode: addToQueue and automatic scheduling.

Required Content Paths

Carousel work is stored under:

/Users/cuevaio/projects/content/carousels/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/

Reusable assets are stored under:

/Users/cuevaio/projects/content/assets

Do not create carousel-local `assets/` folders. Pencil image fills should use absolute paths into the reusable asset library.

Font Setup

Pencil `.pen` files can specify `fontFamily`, but they do not embed, fetch, or install font files. Final exports require Satoshi to be installed where Pencil renders.
