Turn one long asset - a YouTube video, podcast, livestream, newsletter, blog post or client call - into a week of reels and carousels.

  • The user says repurpose this
  • SKILL.md covers Input, Extract, do not summarise, Then pick the format per extract and Then build the week, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Ig Repurpose is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/instagram-agent-skill. Turn one long asset - a YouTube video, podcast, livestream, newsletter, blog post or client call - into a week of reels and carousels. Use when the user says "repurpose this", "turn this into reels", "I have a video/podcast/ transcript", "cut this up", or pastes something long and wants it on Instagram.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 repurposing, Podcasting and Newsletters. It works with Instagram and YouTube. 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 repurpose this
  • Turn this into reels
  • I have a video/podcast/ transcript
  • Pastes something long and wants it on Instagram

Example prompts

  • “repurpose this”
  • “turn this into reels”
  • “I have a video/podcast/ transcript”
  • “/ig-repurpose”

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 Repurpose loads about 853 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~853

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.

Turn one long asset - a YouTube video, podcast, livestream, newsletter, blog post or client call - into a week of reels and carousels. Use when the user says "repurpose this", "turn this into reels", "I have a video/podcast/ transcript", "cut this up", or pastes something long and wants it on Instagram.

ig-repurpose

One good long asset contains four to six posts. Most people extract one and throw the rest away.

Input

A transcript, an article, a newsletter, a script, a call summary, a livestream. If the user gives a URL and this session has a transcript tool, use it; otherwise ask them to paste. Read the whole thing before extracting anything.

If the source is a video the user owns, ask for the file too. A Reel built on their own footage beats one built on their own words read again.

Extract, do not summarise

A summary of a video is not a Reel. Nobody wants the summary. Go through the asset and pull out the things that stand alone:

pullwhat it is
Claimsevery sentence that would start an argument
Numbersevery figure, cost, duration, percentage
Storiesevery moment with a person, a scene and a cost
Mechanismsevery "the way this actually works is..."
Mistakesevery admission of something that went wrong
Linesevery sentence already quotable as-is

List what you found, with counts, before writing anything. If the asset yields fewer than four items, it is thin, and four posts squeezed out of it will be thin too. Say that.

Then pick the format per extract

Not everything is a Reel.

  • Claim, mistake, story to a Reel. They need a voice and a face.
  • Mechanism, numbered list to a carousel. They need to be re-read.
  • A quotable line to a story frame, not a post.
Show full SKILL.md (176 more words)Show less

Then build the week

Each extract becomes one post and each post stands completely on its own. The viewer has not seen the source and never will. Never write "as I said in my latest video". The post is the thing.

Assign a hook formula from ig-reel/hooks.json to each and vary them. Five posts from one source with the same hook shape reads as a content mill, because it is one.

If the source is the user's own video, use the actual footage. The clip where they said the thing, with the real reaction in it, beats a re-record every time. Cut on the sentence, not on the breath.

Order across the week so the strongest claim goes first, the story lands midweek, and the mechanism goes last, when the people who liked the earlier ones are watching for it.

Output

SOURCE: "Why we killed discovery calls" (42 min podcast, 8,900 words)

FOUND  5 claims, 9 numbers, 3 stories, 4 mechanisms, 2 mistakes, 7 quotable lines

WEEK
TUE  REEL      #2  Negative Command  Stop running discovery calls
                                     use the 14:20 clip, he laughs at the end
WED  CAROUSEL  Job B caption         The 4-question form that replaced the call
FRI  REEL      #21 Mid-Sentence      "...and he asked for a refund nine days later"
SUN  REEL      #5  Time Collapse     Six hours a week back, one deleted link

Say "write Tuesday" and I will draft it.

Then draft on request, one at a time, each through /ig-reel and /ig-human. Do not dump four finished scripts at once. They will all sound the same and the user will shoot none of them.
