Write an Instagram or LinkedIn carousel, slide by slide
A swipeable carousel with a scroll-stopping cover, one idea per slide, and design notes for each.
The prompt
Write a carousel post for me.
Platform: [Instagram / LinkedIn]
Topic and key message: [WHAT IT TEACHES OR ARGUES]
Audience: [WHO]
Goal: [saves / shares / profile visits / link clicks / leads]
Source material (optional): [PASTE BLOG, NOTES, OR DATA]
Number of slides: [e.g. 7-10]
Brand style notes: [colors, fonts, tone]
Rules:
- Slide 1 (cover): a specific promise or tension in under 10 words, plus a short subline.
- Slide 2: why this matters, or the problem, so people keep swiping.
- One idea per slide; max ~25 words of on-slide text. Use numbers, lists, before/after, or mini-frameworks.
- Each slide should make the next one feel necessary.
- Final slide: a clear CTA tied to the goal (save this, comment a word, follow, visit link).
- Don't invent statistics; mark anything that needs a source [ADD SOURCE].
Return:
1. 3 cover options.
2. The carousel: | Slide # | On-slide text | Visual/design note |
3. The caption (with hook in the first line before "more") and 3-5 relevant hashtags.
4. Alt text for the cover slide.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
