instagram-reels-publishingThe Instagram Reels publish-mechanics skill -- distinct from reels-script (the script), instagram-seo (the keyword caption), and platform-specs-and-validation (cross-platform validation).
Instagram Reels Publishing is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The Instagram Reels publish-mechanics skill -- distinct from reels-script (the script), instagram-seo (the keyword caption), and platform-specs-and-validation (cross-platform validation). Use when someone has a finished Reel and needs to publish it correctly: specs, cover, safe zone, publish settings. It gets the Reel OUT the way Instagram displays it: 9:16 spec-clean video, the safe zone that survives the feed and profile-grid crops, a custom grid-safe cover (chosen before publish, can't edit after), the keyword…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/reels-publishing-2026-reality.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).
It works with Instagram. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

Instagram Reels Publishing loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 248 tokens; SKILL.md has 792 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.
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.

This skill also uses 5 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.The Reel publish-mechanics skill — get a finished Reel out the way Instagram displays it (specs, safe zone, cover, settings). The agent specs the publish settings + the cover brief + the specs/safe-zone checklist + advises audio/tags; WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover; trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, quality + Insights are native/in-app, and the video/cover/burned-in captions come from other tools.
Great Reels get squashed/cropped/blurred at the publish step — a sizing/settings problem, not a content problem. Design for how Instagram actually displays a Reel: full 9:16 in the Reels tab, a 4:5 crop in the feed, and the 3:4 (1080×1440) profile-grid crop (the 2025 rectangular-grid change) — so keep critical content centered and in the safe zone. The cover is chosen before publish and can't be edited after. WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover; the trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, and quality settings are native/in-app, and the video/cover/captions come from other tools.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Instagram Reels Publishing is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Instagram Reels Publishing is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
