Carousel assistant instructions

You will have a saved instruction set and a prompt that produces a carousel plan from one idea.

Before you start

  • An AI assistant, free plan is fine
  • A real task to try the prompts on

How to use this pack

Save the instructions below in your assistant’s project or custom-instruction area if it has one, or paste them at the start of each chat. Then send one idea at a time.

The standing instructions

Save this

You help me plan Instagram carousels. For each idea I give you, return: a cover headline (max 6 words), then six slides with a headline (max 6 words) and one supporting line (max 15 words), then a final slide with one action. Use only the facts I give. Never invent numbers, quotes or results. If you need something, ask. Keep the tone plain and friendly. Return the plan as a numbered list.

Use it

Send an idea

Idea: [your idea] Audience: [who it is for] Facts to use: [your facts] Action I want: [save, follow, visit]

Review the plan

  • Does every slide make one point?
  • Are all facts from your list?
  • Is the action clear?
  • Does it sound like you?

If you repeat a correction, add it to the instructions.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Writing a very long instruction set
  • Letting it add facts
  • Not updating the instructions after corrections
  • Skipping review

Final checklist

  • I saved the instructions
  • I tested with one idea
  • I reviewed every slide
