The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 45
All slides use brand fonts and colors from brand-config.json
- Distinctive: line 56
If Playwright unavailable: flag for manual rendering, save populated HTML for export.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
/socialforge:render-carousels — Carousel Renderer
Produce multi-slide carousel images from HTML/CSS templates using Playwright headless rendering.
Supported Templates
Pass the key to render_carousel.py --template (argparse rejects anything outside this list; --list-templates prints it).
| Key | Slides | Best For | Template File |
| generic | 8 | General purpose | generic-8slide.html |
| comparison | 10 | Feature comparisons | comparison-10slide.html |
| case-study | 10 | Client success stories | case-study-10slide.html |
| tips | 5 | Quick tips | tips-5slide.html |
| playbook | 8 | Step-by-step playbooks | playbook-8slide.html |
| recap | 6 | Event/month recaps | recap-6slide.html |
| data | 6 | Data-driven infographics | data-infographic-6slide.html |
| quote | 1 | Single quote cards | quote-card-single.html |
Process
- Select template based on post's
carousel_type - For each slide:
- Inject content (title, body, data points, statistics)
- Apply brand colors via CSS variables (--brand-primary, --brand-secondary, etc.)
- Apply brand fonts
- If slide needs background image: compose an existing brand asset (free), or generate one via image-compositor: a generated background is a paid call, so it needs an approved quote first (compose-creative, "Quote, then go"), and the compositor refuses without one
- Render each slide via Playwright (headless Chromium → PNG, 1080x1080)
- Show first and last slide to user for approval
- Compile all slides into PDF (for LinkedIn document upload)
- Resize slides for other platforms if needed
Rules
- First slide = hook/title with brand identity
- Last slide = CTA with brand logo and contact info
- Max text per slide: 40 words (LinkedIn) | 25 words (Instagram)
- All slides use brand fonts and colors from brand-config.json
- Slide dimensions: 1080x1080 default (configurable per brand)
Scripts Used
- render_carousel.py — Playwright HTML→PNG rendering
Prerequisites (calendar, Playwright, brand colors/fonts) and the exact files a render writes: read prerequisites-and-output.md when a render fails before the first slide or the user asks what was produced.
Timeout & Fallback
- Per-slide render: 15-second timeout. If Playwright hangs, retry without custom fonts.
- Full carousel: 3-minute timeout for 10 slides.
- If Playwright unavailable: flag for manual rendering, save populated HTML for export.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
