What you're getting

Two skills, one brand setup

They're a matched pair. Carousel Studio builds multi-slide carousels. Static Studio builds single-image posts. Install one or both. When you have both, they share the same brand setup, so you only answer the questions once.

Carousel Studio

Multi-slide carousels

Give it a topic, a blog post, or your own slide copy. It writes the slides in your voice, then exports each one as a ready-to-post image at the right size.

  • Cover, content, and call-to-action slides
  • Your brand colors and fonts on every slide
  • Writes the copy or builds exactly what you give it
  • Exports 1080x1350 PNGs, feed-ready
Static Studio

Single-image posts

One line of text, one finished graphic. Pick from your own named background styles and it drops your words in, sized and centered, every time.

  • Your own named variants (a colored one, a clean white one, whatever you like)
  • Text auto-sizes to fit, never clipped
  • Your handle on every post
  • Keeps a simple log of what you've shipped
How it works

Set up once. Then it's fast.

The first time you run a skill, it gets you ready. Every run after that skips straight to the work.

1

First run: it checks your computer

The skill makes sure your machine can render images and walks you through anything missing with copy-paste steps. No guesswork, no developer knowledge needed.

2

First run: a quick brand interview

A short conversation about your name, handle, colors, fonts, voice, your background styles, and how you like to schedule. It saves all of it. You never answer twice, and if you install both skills, the second one reuses what the first one saved.

3

Every run after: topic in, graphics out

Say what you want. It writes or places the copy, renders the images in your brand, shows them to you, and hands off to your scheduler or just gives you the files. Minutes, not an afternoon.

Your whole setup lives in one file the skill saves for you. Want to change a color, your handle, or your scheduler later? Just tell the skill. It updates only that part.
Before you start

What you need

Not much. The skill helps you with anything technical when you first run it.

No design software. No coding. If you've never installed Python, the skill detects that on the first run and gives you the exact steps for your computer.

1. Download the skill file

Grab the .skill file from the download section below. Save it somewhere you can find it.

2. Open Settings in the Claude desktop app

In Claude, go to Settings > Capabilities. This is where your skills live.

3. Add the skill

Under Skills, choose to install or import a skill, then select the .skill file you downloaded. Repeat for the second skill if you want both.

4. Run it

Start a Cowork chat and say make me a carousel about [topic] or make a static post that says [text]. The first run walks you through setup.

First time only: the skill will run its environment check and brand interview. After that, you go straight to making graphics.
Make it yours

Everything is yours to change

Nothing is locked in. Your preferences live in one file the skill reads before every run. Tell it what to change.

Your brand

Colors, fonts, handle, and voice. Change any of them anytime by telling the skill, and it updates only that piece.

Your variants

For static posts, define your own named background styles and reuse them by name. Add more whenever you want.

Your scheduler

Use Metricool, Buffer, Later, or none at all. The skill hands off the way you work, or just gives you the files.

Tips & gotchas

A few things worth knowing

The first run takes a few extra minutes

That's the one-time setup. Let it check your computer and ask its brand questions. Every run after that is quick.

Have your brand colors handy

Hex codes are ideal, but a link to your site or logo works too. The skill can work from what you describe.

Your exact font may need a quick download

If your brand font isn't on your computer, the skill points you to a source or uses a close stand-in and tells you which.

Install both for the smoothest setup

They share one brand file. Set up the first, and the second skips straight to its own small handful of questions.

Questions

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?
No. The skills are built for solopreneurs, not developers. The only mildly technical part is making sure Python is installed, and the skill walks you through that with copy-paste steps the first time you run it.
What's the difference between the two skills?
Carousel Studio makes multi-slide carousels (a cover, content slides, a call to action). Static Studio makes a single-image post from one line of text using your named background styles. Different jobs, same brand setup.
Do I have to install both?
No. Each one works completely on its own. If you do install both, they share your brand setup so you only answer the brand questions once.
Will it match my brand?
Yes. The first run asks for your colors, fonts, handle, and the look you like, and saves it. Every graphic uses your brand, not a generic template.
Can it schedule my posts?
If you use a scheduler like Metricool, Buffer, or Later, you tell the skill during setup and it hands your finished posts off that way. If you'd rather post by hand, it just gives you the image files.
Where do my graphics end up?
As image files you can download and post anywhere, or pass straight to your scheduler. They're sized 1080x1350, the size Instagram gives the most room in the feed.

Your call to action
A note

I built these for my own brands first. I was tired of opening a design tool every time I needed a carousel or a quick post, so I taught Claude to do it the way I actually work, on brand and in my voice, and then made it something anyone can install and make their own.

That's the whole idea behind SoloOp HQ. You don't need more tools. You need systems built around how your business actually runs. This is one of them.
