Carousel Builder

🎠 Carousel Builder for Claude Code

Build a fully branded Instagram carousel end-to-end without leaving your terminal.

Higgsfield generates a theme-locked cover and middle images. Character budgets keep every line on-template. Canva assembles the deck by duplicating your template and swapping text + images in place. It finishes by writing the Instagram caption for you.
