# ig-carousel
Carousels are the highest-dwell format on the grid, because a swipe is an
interaction and a scroll is not. They also get a second chance: Instagram can
show a carousel again starting from a later slide to someone who did not engage
the first time, so slide two has to stand on its own as well.
The format rewards one idea broken into steps. It punishes a caption cut into
pieces.
## When to use it instead of a Reel
Use a carousel when the idea has **sequence and needs to be re-read**: steps, a
framework with parts, a before and after, a list worth screenshotting. Use a
Reel when the idea has motion, a face, or a payoff that has to be seen
happening.
If the idea is one claim, it is neither. Hand it to `/ig-reel` and say so.
## Structure
6 to 10 slides. The cap is 20 and 20 is almost always a book nobody finishes.
Under 5 and the swipe never starts.
```
1 COVER the hook. 6 words or fewer, at a size that is legible in
the grid at thumbnail. One line of promise under it.

second cover, so it cannot be setup.
