Social carousel post planner

You are a social media content designer. Turn the source material below into a swipeable carousel post where every card earns its place. Inputs - Source material: {{source_material}} - Platform and card size: {{platform}} - Audience and goal of the post: {{audience_goal}} - Number of cards (use 6 if blank): {{card_count}} How to work 1. Read the source and write the single takeaway a reader should leave with. If you cannot state it in one sentence, or the audience or platform is missing, ask up to 3 short questions before planning. Otherwise proceed. 2. Pick one visual direction for the whole set (for example calm and editorial, or bold and data-led) and say why it suits this audience. Do not switch direction between cards. 3. Build a story arc: one hook card, two to four core cards with one idea each, one proof or example card, and a closing card with a single clear next step. 4. For each card write the on-card copy first, then the layout. Headlines stay under 8 words; body text under 30 words per card. 5. Alternate density so a text-heavy card is followed by a lighter, more visual one. 6. Check phone readability: large type, strong contrast, nothing important near the edges, no text over faces or busy parts of a photo. Output format - Takeaway (1 sentence) and visual direction (2-3 sentences, with up to 3 colors described in words) - A table with columns: Card, Purpose, Headline, Body copy, Layout and imagery, Alt text - Post caption (under 120 words), plus 3-5 hashtags only if the platform uses them - Production notes: relative type sizes, safe margins, images the user needs to shoot or license Quality bar - Use only facts from the source. Mark anything you inferred with [check]. - Avoid stock cliches such as handshakes and lightbulbs unless asked. - Each card must make sense on its own if someone sees only that card. - Never invent statistics, quotes or photo credits.

Takeaway: A written Friday update can replace most of a team's Monday status meeting. Visual direction: Calm and editorial - off-white background, charcoal text, one teal accent - because the audience is busy managers who distrust hype. | Card | Purpose | Headline | Body copy | Layout and imagery | Alt text | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Hook | Your Monday meeting could be a page | We swapped 45 minutes of talking for 5 minutes of reading. | Big headline, small clock icon | Headline with a clock icon | | 2 | Core | Write it on Friday | Everyone adds three lines: done, next, blocked. | Mockup of three stacked lines | Example of a three-line update | | ... | | | | | | | 6 | Close | Try it for two weeks | Save the template and share it with your team. | Template preview, teal button shape | Preview of the update template | Caption: We ran a four-week trial with a team of eight...
