Social Carousel Skill

Produce a 3-panel social carousel on a single dark stage. Each panel is a 1080×1080 cinematic still — connected as a series, but each readable on its own.

Workflow

1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Pick the loudest serif token for the headline lockups and a mono token for stamps / counters.
2. Pick the theme + 3 captions from the brief. The captions must read as one sentence when stacked: ("onwards." → "to the next one." → "looking ahead." or "input." → "iterate." → "ship.").
3. Stage — full-bleed dark page. Top header strip:
   • Left: serif italic display "Three posts. One beat."
   • Just below the title: a one-line description in muted mono ("1080×1080 · cinematic video loops · minimal type. Drop into Instagram, LinkedIn, or X — each post stands on its own or runs as a three-part series.").
   • Right: small mono badge "SERIES · 01 → 03".
4. Cards — 3 squares in a horizontal row (wraps to stack on narrow viewports). Each card is aspect-ratio: 1 / 1 with rounded 12px corners and a subtle 1px border, plus a soft drop shadow.
   • Background: a layered gradient that suggests a cinematic photo — for example, panel 1 = warm dawn meadow (stacked greens with a cyan sky wash); panel 2 = forest dusk (warm oranges fading into deep teals); panel 3 = pink-mountain ridge (rosy peaks against a dim violet sky). Use radial-gradient + linear-gradient only — no images.
   • Top-left chip: brand wordmark in serif italic ("Jerrod Lew") with a small accent dot.
   • Top-left below chip: micro mono index "AI · 01 / 03" (and 02, 03).
   • Bottom-left: the headline lockup in white serif display, italic accent on one word.
   • Bottom-right corner: a 1× LOOP mono stamp inside a thin border.
   • Bottom strip caption: small caps mono describing the imagined frame ("Man, walking forward — close.", "Woman, stepping into frame.", "Woman, overlooking the city.").
5. Write a single HTML document:
   • <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
   • Cards are sized via width: clamp(280px, 30vw, 380px) so 3 fit comfortably across most desktops and stack at < 1100px.
   • data-od-id on stage, each card, each headline.
6. Self-check:
   • The three headlines together form one sentence and feel cinematic.
   • Mono is used only for the wordmark index, the loop stamp, and the bottom captions. The headlines stay serif.
   • Each panel's color story is distinct — no two share a dominant hue.

Output contract

Emit between <artifact> tags:

<artifact identifier="carousel-slug" type="text/html" title="Carousel — Title">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact, nothing after.
