Agent-authored workflow task: build slides for a carousel project — pick aspect-aware images via generate_image, position image and overlay elements on each slide, set base colors, and render to PNGs. Load this when you hit montaj/carousel in a workflow.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Carousel Skill

Use this skill whenever you are working on a `carousel` workflow project in montaj.

---

## 1 — What a carousel is

A carousel is N still slides at one fixed aspect ratio, rendered to `slide_01.png` … `slide_NN.png` in `<project>/render/`. There is no time axis, no audio, no video export.

| Aspect | Constant | Resolution | Platform |
|--------|----------|------------|----------|
| `square` | `CAROUSEL_ASPECTS[0]` | 1080 × 1080 | Instagram square |
| `portrait` | `CAROUSEL_ASPECTS[1]` | 1080 × 1350 | Instagram portrait (dominant in 2026) |
| `vertical` | `CAROUSEL_ASPECTS[2]` | 1080 × 1920 | TikTok photo mode, Stories |

The aspect is **locked at project creation** — Instagram and TikTok enforce uniformity across all slides in a carousel. Read it from `project.carousel.aspect`; read pixel dimensions from `project.settings.resolution` (`[width, height]`). Never attempt to change the aspect after init.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thesampadilla/montaj/carousel@sha256:f9cbb60f129d3a3d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.0741b8f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
