## Prompt

```text
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.
```
