the creator Carousel IG (Hacker-Light Edition)

my proven carousel formula, refined from his winning tech-stack post. One visual world across every slide: light mode, pixel-art mascot, big app icons, handwritten annotations. Built on the Higgsfield MCP so it runs natively in Claude Code.

This is a sibling of carousel-ig-cinematic but with ONE locked style (hacker-light), my defaults baked in, flexible slide counts, and a YouTube-repurposing path.

my defaults (do not ask, just use)

  • BRAND_ACCENT = bright orange #E95223 (vivid, saturated, Claude-brand orange; NEVER muted terracotta)
  • SOCIAL_HANDLE = @your.handle
  • Style = hacker-light only (see references/style-hacker-light.md)
  • Footer on every slide: Instagram glyph + handle bottom-left (handwritten), bookmark glyph + save for later bottom-right (handwritten italic)
  • CTA pattern: COMMENT "<WORD>" for the full guide + a pixel-art video card + handwritten 100% free of course :)
