README
Carousel Lite
A free Claude Code skill by [@tenfoldmarc](https://www.instagram.com/tenfoldmarc)
Turn any topic into a finished Instagram carousel. Real copy, real slides, rendered as AirDrop-ready PNGs. One clean built-in style, zero design work, zero setup beyond one install.
This is the **free** version. The full `/carousel` (multiple styles, AI-generated cover images, viral hook intelligence, topic brainstorming, and custom brand kits) is part of the Go Viral System inside [AI Builders](https://skool.com/ten-fold).
What it does
- You give it a topic.
- It writes the slide copy (hook, content slides, call to action) and shows you for approval.
- It renders every slide as a 1080x1440 PNG.
- It opens the folder so you can AirDrop them to your phone and post.
What you need
- A Mac or Linux computer
- Claude Code installed
- Node.js 18 or newer
That's it. No accounts, no API keys.
