File contents carousel-gen
Multi-image carousel pipeline for {{PERSONA_NAME}} — generates on-brand carousel slides promoting Samoa tourism via {{BRAND_NAME}}.
How It Works
Content Ideation — Gemini generates a carousel concept: topic, slide count (6-10), per-slide caption text, and per-slide image prompts based on {{PERSONA_NAME}}'s content pillars.Image Generation — FAL nano-banana-2 generates each slide image using {{PERSONA_NAME}}'s reference face for character consistency.Text Overlay — ffmpeg drawtext burns clean, bold slide text onto each image.Output — Images + sidecar JSON saved to ~/{{PersonaDir}}/carousels/{date}-{slug}/
Usage
node skills/carousel-gen/scripts/carousel-gen.js [options]
Options:
--topic "Samoa's Best Beaches" # Override auto-topic selection
--slides 8 # Override slide count (default: Gemini decides, 6-10)
--dry-run # Print carousel plan, skip image generation
Output
Slide images: ~/{{PersonaDir}}/carousels/{date}-{slug}/slide-01.png through slide-N.png
Metadata sidecar: ~/{{PersonaDir}}/carousels/{date}-{slug}/carousel.json
