What it does

When installed, the agent produces a self-contained HTML page showing three square social-media cards that read as one connected series, such as 'onwards.' then 'to the next one.' then 'looking ahead.'. Each card has a brand mark, a numbered index, a headline in serif type, a caption and a small 'loop' stamp, with backgrounds made only from CSS gradients rather than photos. It is a layout and copy-design template, not an image or video generator.

Great for

  • Marketers preparing Instagram, LinkedIn or X carousel posts who want a quick visual concept
  • Designers who want a starting layout and colour direction for a three-part series
  • Teams already using the Open Design system with a DESIGN.md file

Skip it if

  • Producing publishable photos or real imagery: the skill explicitly uses gradients only, not images, so the 'cinematic photo' look is only suggested.
  • Brands needing their own identity: the template includes a hard-coded example brand name ('Jerrod Lew') that must be replaced before any real use.

Try asking

  • “Design a 3-card cinematic social carousel with the headlines 'onwards.', 'to the next one.', 'looking ahead.'”
  • “Make a three-post Instagram carousel series about our product launch in 1080×1080 squares”
  • “Create a LinkedIn series of three square cards for a weekly update”

  • Provide your own brand name, colours and captions in the brief, and replace the sample wordmark before publishing.
