What it does
Instagram Play is an agent skill from pockebot/openpocket. Automate Instagram interactions — browsing feed, stories, reels, DMs, posting, and story creation. Use when the user asks to use Instagram, check DMs, post content, create stories, or browse their feed on phone.
Its SKILL.md is about 920 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: 🐹 An Intelligent Phone That Never Sleeps. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to use Instagram
- Browse their feed on phone
Example prompts
- “/instagram-play”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d4dae3d. 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
Instagram Play loads about 919 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Instagram Play
Use this skill to help users navigate and interact with Instagram efficiently on a mobile device.
Core Principle
Act autonomously. Execute tasks without asking the user for confirmation at each step. Read the screen, make decisions, and proceed.
Creating a Story
- To create a new story, go to the user's profile tab (bottom-right) and tap the + (add) button on the profile picture at the top-left.
- This opens the story camera/picker. Tap the gallery/album thumbnail (bottom-left) to open the photo picker. Select a photo, then tap Next (top-right) to proceed to the editor.
- Add text, stickers, or other overlays as requested by the user.
- Tap "Your Story" at the bottom to publish.
- Do not tap the + button in the bottom nav bar — that's for posts/reels, not stories.
Browsing Feed
- The home tab (house icon, bottom-left) shows the main feed.
- Scroll by swiping up to see more posts.
- Double-tap a post to like it.
- Tap the comment icon (speech bubble) to open comments.
- Tap the share icon (paper plane) to send a post to someone via DM.
Stories
- Story circles appear at the top of the home feed.
- Tap a story circle to view it. Tap the right side of the screen to skip to the next story, left side to go back.
- Swipe left to skip to the next person's story.
- To reply to a story, tap the message input at the bottom and type a response.
Reels
- Reels tab is the play button icon in the bottom nav.
- Swipe up to see the next reel, swipe down for the previous one.
- Like by double-tapping or tapping the heart icon on the right.
Direct Messages (DMs)
- Tap the messenger/DM icon (paper plane) at the top-right of the home feed.
- Conversations are listed — tap one to open it.
- Reply in the same language the conversation is in.
- Type in the message input at the bottom, then tap send.
- Use batch action for tap-input → type → send flow.
Show full SKILL.md (214 more words)Show less
Posting
- Tap the + button in the bottom center nav bar to create a new post.
- Select photo(s) from the gallery.
- Apply filters or edits if the user requests.
- Add a caption as instructed, then tap Share to publish.
Navigation
- Home (house icon): main feed — bottom-left.
- Search (magnifying glass): explore/discover — second from left.
- Create (+ button): new post/reel — bottom center.
- Reels (play icon): short videos — second from right.
- Profile (avatar): user's profile — bottom-right.
- DMs (paper plane): top-right of home feed.
- Back: Android back button or top-left arrow to go back.
Common Pitfalls
- Story creation: use the + on the profile picture (top-left of profile tab), not the + in the bottom nav bar.
- Popups and notifications: dismiss "Turn on notifications" prompts, update dialogs, and suggestion popups.
- Keyboard blocking: the keyboard may cover action buttons — scroll or dismiss if needed.
- Slow media loading: wait briefly (~500ms) after opening stories or reels before interacting, as media loads asynchronously.
- Account switching: if the app has multiple accounts, verify you're on the correct one before posting.
Failure Handling
- If a post or story fails to upload, retry once. If it fails again, inform the user.
- If Instagram asks to log in or shows a session expired screen, call request_human_auth with capability=oauth.
- If the app crashes, relaunch and continue from the home tab.
