Prompt ![Instagram](https://postqueen.ai/assets/channels/instagram.svg)

Make [5] square images for an Instagram carousel about [5 habits that keep me writing], one idea per slide, in a [Sketch] style. Post it on [Sunday] at [18:00] as a draft, with this caption: [Five small habits, one slide each].

Works best with ![Grok Bot](https://postqueen.ai/assets/agents/grok-bot.png) ![Muse](https://postqueen.ai/assets/agents/muse.svg) ![Claude](https://postqueen.ai/assets/agents/claude.svg) ![ChatGPT](https://postqueen.ai/assets/agents/chatgpt.png) and any agent connected to PostQueen

What your agent does

## The tool calls, in order.

1. `integrationList` `all channels` Finds your Instagram channel.
2. `integrationSchema` `instagram` Reads Instagram's rules: 2 to 10 items in a carousel, a 2,200-character caption.
3. `generateImageTool` `square, Sketch, ×5` Makes 5 square images, one habit per slide.
4. `integrationSchedulePostTool` `type: draft, ×1` Saves the carousel with your caption as one draft for Sunday at 18:00.

These are the real tool names your agent calls through PostQueen's MCP server. It picks them on its own; you only send the prompt.

The result

## Drafts on your calendar, not surprises.

Everything waits as a draft. Open any post to change the words, the picture or the time, then schedule it when it is right.

- A version for each network, within its limits
- Nothing goes out until you schedule it
- Change the text, time or media on the calendar

Variations

## Make it your own.

- Add a last slide that says [Follow for more writing habits].
- Also post the same images as a Threads carousel on [Monday] at [12:00].
- Write the habit for each slide in the caption too, as a numbered list.

Tips

## Before you send it.

- Each slide is an AI image, so the five slides use AI credits from your plan. Creator has 150 AI credits a month, Growth 300.
- Instagram takes 2 to 10 items in a carousel, so keep your list to 10 slides or fewer.
- Name one style, such as Sketch or Minimalist, and every slide is made in it.
