Filed note: Meg Kilgore’s eight-slide carousel structure holds the reveal until slide seven, then gives a fill-in-the-blanks Claude prompt for writing the deck.

Highlights: Most carousels die because they give away the answer on slide 2. There is nothing left to swipe for.
The sequence keeps the answer unresolved until the final slides.
Two rules. Every slide is a headline plus a support line that trails off. And nothing gets named before slide 7, because the whole deck is a held breath.
Each slide opens the next loop instead of resolving it.
Excerpt: Eight slides, in the order that makes people swipe. Copy it, paste it into Claude, fill in six blanks.
