Components: Carousel Layout

Guides carousel (slider) layout design for sequential content display. Carousels show one or few items at a time; users swipe or click to advance. Best when space is limited and multiple items need rotation—testimonials, quotes, logos, gallery highlights.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

When to Use Carousel

Use carousel when Use grid/list when
Limited space Full catalog visible
One focus at a time; rotation desired Browse, compare many items
Testimonials, quotes, logos, featured gallery Products, templates, blog index
Above fold; hero or section highlight Full listing; discovery

See grid for equal-hierarchy display; list for text-heavy scan; masonry for varying-height gallery.

Carousel vs Grid vs List vs Masonry

Layout Structure Best for
Grid Equal rows and columns; all visible Products, templates, features
List Single column; stacked Blog index, docs, search results
Masonry Columns; varying heights Pinterest-style gallery
Carousel Slides; one/few visible; swipe/click Testimonials, logos, featured items

Best Practices

Accessibility

  • Keyboard navigation: Arrow keys to move; Enter/Space to activate; focus visible
  • User control: Don't auto-advance too fast; allow pause; avoid auto-advance if prefers-reduced-motion is set
  • Announcements: Screen reader users need to know current slide and total (e.g., "Slide 2 of 5")
  • Touch targets: ≥44×44px for prev/next buttons on mobile

Performance

  • Lazy load: Load off-screen slides on demand; avoid loading all images upfront
  • Reserve space: Reserve space for slides to avoid layout shift (CLS)

SEO

  • Content in DOM: All carousel content must be in the initial HTML at page load. Google does not simulate clicks; content loaded via AJAX on slide change is not discoverable. Same as tab-accordion.
  • Recommendation: Server-render all slides in HTML; use CSS/JS only to show/hide. See rendering-strategies.

Use Cases

Use case Format Page Skill
Testimonials Quote carousel; multiple testimonials testimonials-generator
Showcase / Gallery Featured items; rotation showcase-page-generator
Press logos "As Seen In" logo strip or quote carousel press-coverage-page-generator
Community Banner carousel below hero community-forum

How to use carousel on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add carousel
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/kostja94/marketing-skills --skill carousel

The skills CLI fetches carousel from GitHub repository kostja94/marketing-skills and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?

│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/carousel

Reload or restart Cursor to activate carousel. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /carousel) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

Use Cases

User Story & Requirements Generation

Create detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and feature specs

Example

Generate user stories for 'password reset feature' with acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios

Reduce spec writing time by 50%, ensure comprehensive coverage

Competitive Analysis

Research competitors, compare features, identify gaps

Example

Analyze 5 competitor products, create feature comparison matrix, suggest differentiation opportunities

Complete competitive research in 2 hours instead of 2 days

Roadmap Prioritization

Evaluate features using frameworks (RICE, ICE, Kano) and create prioritized backlogs

Example

Score 20 feature ideas using RICE framework, generate prioritized roadmap with rationale

Make data-driven prioritization decisions faster

Stakeholder Communication

Draft PRDs, status updates, and stakeholder presentations

Example

Create executive summary of Q3 roadmap, monthly progress report, feature launch announcement

Implementation Guide

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop or compatible AI client
  • Access to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
  • Understanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
  • Stakeholder contact information and communication channels

Time Estimate

30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements

Installation Steps

  1. 1.Install product management skill
  2. 2.Start with user story generation for known feature
  3. 3.Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
  4. 4.Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
  5. 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
  6. 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
  7. 7.Share effective prompts with product team

Common Pitfalls

  • Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
  • Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
  • Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
  • Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
  • Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
  • +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
  • +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
  • +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
  • +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
  • +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
