Note: Requires INSTAGRAM_BUSINESS_ACCOUNT_ID and INSTAGRAM_ACCESS_TOKEN in .env.
Command (Generation Only)
node .gemini/skills/carousel-generator/scripts/generate_carousel.js <path_to_content.json>
Strategy: The "Sam Parr" Framework
Every carousel MUST follow this 3-slide structure for maximum engagement:
- The Hook (Slide 1): A contrarian statement, a hard truth, or a shocking stat. (e.g., "50% leave in 5 seconds").
- The Value (Slide 2): A concrete "Before vs After" or "Mistake vs Fix". (e.g., ❌ Bad Headline vs ✅ Good Headline).
- The Tool (Slide 3): A formula, script, or framework the user can steal. (e.g., "[Verb] [Noun] without [Pain]").
Visual Style: "Swiss Premium"
- Background: Off-White (#F5F5F0)
- Typography: Massive, condensed, black sans-serif.
- Accent: International Orange (#F04E30) top bar.
- Vibe: High-end magazine, not "tech startup".
