What it does

Ig Plan is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/instagram-agent-skill. Build the week on Instagram - what to post, which format, when, and who to engage with. Use when the user says "plan my week", "what should I post", "content calendar", "I have nothing to post about", or wants a posting schedule and an engagement list.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Content strategy. It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: Thirteen Claude skills that run an Instagram account: Reels off 26 scored hook formulas, a viral research skill, a caption linter, and a humanizer. Free, MIT. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says plan my week
  • What should I post
  • Content calendar
  • I have nothing to post about

Example prompts

  • “plan my week”
  • “what should I post”
  • “content calendar”
  • “/ig-plan”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. What the user sells, and to whom.
  2. The three or four themes they want to be known for.
  3. What actually happened this week: a client call, a number, a mistake, a
  4. Ten accounts worth being visible to.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d03c56b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ig Plan loads about 979 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 522 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~979

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Build the week on Instagram - what to post, which format, when, and who to engage with. Use when the user says "plan my week", "what should I post", "content calendar", "I have nothing to post about", or wants a posting schedule and an engagement list.

ig-plan

The control room. Everything else in this pack executes; this decides what gets executed. Run it once a week, on the same day.

Input

If ~/.claude/instagram/voice.md, swipe.md and log.md exist, read them. The swipe file is the user's own evidence from /ig-viral about which formulas are landing in their niche right now, and it outranks anything in this file. The log stops the plan repeating a theme from the last fortnight.

If they do not exist, ask for four things and write them down:

  1. What the user sells, and to whom.
  2. The three or four themes they want to be known for.
  3. What actually happened this week: a client call, a number, a mistake, a thing they built, an argument they had. This is where posts come from.
  4. Ten accounts worth being visible to.

What to post

Four to five posts a week, and at least three of them Reels. Reels are the only format on Instagram that reliably reaches people who do not follow the account. Carousels go deep with the people who already do. Stories are daily and are planned separately.

Mix across the week, never two of the same type back to back:

typesharejob
Proof1 per weeksomething that happened, with a number. Reel.
Teach1 to 2 per weekone thing the viewer can do today. Reel or carousel.
Opinion1 per weeka position that could lose you followers. Reel.
Story1 per fortnighta scene with a cost. Reel.
Offer1 per fortnightwhat you sell, said plainly, no apology. Carousel or stories.

For each slot give: the theme, the specific angle from what actually happened this week, the format, and the hook formula number from ig-reel/hooks.json. Not a topic, an angle. "AI" is not a plan. "The proposal we lost because the draft had an em dash in it" is a Reel.

When to post

Post when the user's audience is awake and not at work. For most consumer audiences that is early evening local time; for a business audience, early morning.

But say this plainly: the hour matters far less than the first two seconds. Instagram will keep showing a Reel for days if it performs, and will bury a well-timed one that does not. If the user is optimising posting times before their hooks work, they are polishing the wrong thing, and you should say so.

Anchor times to the audience's timezone, not the user's, if those differ.

The engagement round, which is not optional

20 minutes a day, before posting, not after. Build a list of 10:

  • 5 reach - accounts with an audience the user wants, where a good comment gets seen. Comment early, before the thread is 200 deep.
  • 3 peers - same size, same field. This is the group that reciprocates.
  • 2 buyers - people who could actually buy. Comment for weeks before any DM, and never pitch in a comment.

Hand the list to /ig-comment.

Say "write Tuesday" and I will draft it.

Write the plan to ~/.claude/instagram/plan.md so the other skills can read it. Nothing is scheduled or posted anywhere. This is a plan and the user runs it.
