About this capability
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 t
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by nexu-io/open-design in design-templates/social-carousel/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
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
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the headline lockups and a mono token for stamps / counters.
- 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.").
- 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".
- Cards — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow
viewports). Each card is
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1with 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 (stacked greens with a cyan sky
wash); panel 2 = forest dusk (warm oranges fading into deep teals);
panel 3 = pink-mountain ridge (rosy peaks against a dim violet sky).
Use
radial-gradient+linear-gradientonly — no images. - Top-left chip: brand wordmark in serif italic ("Jerrod Lew") with a small accent dot.
- Top-left below chip: micro mono index "AI · 01 / 03" (and 02, 03).
- Bottom-left: the headline lockup in white serif display, italic accent on one word.
- Bottom-right corner: a
1× LOOPmono stamp inside a thin border. - Bottom strip caption: small caps mono describing the imagined frame ("Man, walking forward — close.", "Woman, stepping into frame.", "Woman, overlooking the city.").
- Background: a layered gradient that suggests a cinematic photo — for
example, panel 1 = warm dawn meadow (stacked greens with a cyan sky
wash); panel 2 = forest dusk (warm oranges fading into deep teals);
panel 3 = pink-mountain ridge (rosy peaks against a dim violet sky).
Use
- Write a single HTML document:
<!doctype html>through</html>, CSS inline.- Cards are sized via
width: clamp(280px, 30vw, 380px)so 3 fit comfortably across most desktops and stack at < 1100px. data-od-idon stage, each card, each headline.
- Self-check:
- The three headlines together form one sentence and feel cinematic.
- Mono is used only for the wordmark index, the loop stamp, and the bottom captions. The headlines stay serif.
- Each panel's color story is distinct — no two share a dominant hue.
