Science Carousel Generator

A 7-step, source-first pipeline that runs entirely on Claude Code's native tooling. The sources were: arXiv, PubMed, ScienceDirect, ScienceDaily, Phys.org, Nature, Ars Technica. A hard rule was to ban citing anything from training memory or inventing DOIs, authors, or journals.

The script generate_carousel.py procedurally draws 1080×1080 slides in pure Pillow (gradient backgrounds, radial glows, custom font stacks), alongside hand-built HTML mockups (index.html, multiple themes - editorial, sunset, tech, nature, deep-space) and a set of screenshot_*.py capture scripts used to iterate on designs. Its output_slides/ holds dozens of rendered theme and iteration PNGs.
