What it does
Story Writer is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Writes Instagram/Facebook Stories as a content type. Use when someone wants "a Story" / "Stories," "an IG/FB Story sequence," "Story ideas," interactive sticker content (polls, quizzes, question boxes, countdowns, link stickers), a Close Friends drop, a behind-the-scenes or daily-update sequence, or to turn a post into Stories. Stories are the relationship-deepening surface (not reach) — optimise for completion + interaction. Uses the FRAME framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent drafts…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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/scope-and-connections.md` and `references/sequence-and-sticker-recipes.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Social media graphics, Quizzes and assessments and Meeting notes and agendas. 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.
When your agent uses it
- Someone wants a Story / Stories
- An IG/FB Story sequence
- Interactive sticker content (polls
- A Close Friends drop
Example prompts
- “a Story”
- “Stories,”
- “an IG/FB Story sequence,”
- “/story-writer”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- brand-profile — look, palette, non-negotiables (frames must be on-brand).
- voice-builder — so frame copy sounds like the brand.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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
Story Writer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 203 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 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.
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.

The agent drafts frames + sticker copy; WoopSocial schedules/publishes base frames (IG+FB); interactive stickers and DM replies are handled natively in-app by a human; metrics come from native Insights; nothing is fabricated. Distinct from reels-script (reach video) and carousel-writer (Feed swipe).
- version
- 1.0.0
story-writer
The ephemeral Stories content type — interactive frame sequences for Instagram/Facebook's relationship surface. The agent drafts the frames + sticker copy; a human adds native interactive elements and replies in DMs; scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial publishes the base frames.
The POV: relationship engine, not reach
Instagram is explicit — Stories aren't a discovery/reach surface; they deepen the relationship with your existing followers (and those relationship signals lift your Feed/Reels for them). So optimise for completion + interaction (sticker taps, replies, link taps), never impressions. Reach goals → reels-script.
Read these first
- brand-profile — look, palette, non-negotiables (frames must be on-brand).
- voice-builder — so frame copy sounds like the brand.
The framework: FRAME
(Depth: references/the-frame-framework.md.)
- F — First frame earns the tap-through: sound-off hook stating the problem/outcome (most exits happen here); 9:16, safe zone, text sparingly.
- R — Rhythm: one beat per frame: a 3–5 frame arc (or multi-day mini-series), each a distinct takeaway; keep each beat short (~15s) even though a segment can run to 60s.
- A — Activate with a sticker: poll/quiz/question/slider/countdown — the single most effective Stories tool; turns watchers into tappers (+ free audience research).
- M — Move to one action: one goal per sequence; link sticker + "Tap here" overlay / reply prompt / profile visit. Don't ask three things.
- E — Evergreen + engage: Highlight proven sequences; DM every reply personally; read completion/exits/taps natively to learn.
Specs + cadence (verify-quarterly)
9:16 (1080×1920), key content in the safe zone (1080×1420), sound-off legible; video segments
run up to 60s (photos show ~5s) — keep beats ~15s. Post daily, ~3–7 frames; mix ~70% value /
20% BTS / 10% promo; use Close Friends for insider/VIP drops. Sticker/sequence playbook:
references/sequence-and-sticker-recipes.md; full reality: references/stories-2026-reality.md.
Show full SKILL.md (215 more words)Show less
Honest scope (never violate)
- Frames vs native stickers: WoopSocial publishes the base frames (IG+FB); interactive stickers (poll/quiz/link/countdown) usually can't be added via scheduling APIs → add them natively in-app at publish. The agent supplies frames + exact sticker copy/placement.
- Replies are DMs: WoopSocial has no DM surface — agent drafts replies, human sends in-app. No auto-DM spam.
- No analytics — read native Insights; never fabricate a metric, a countdown, or poll results (fakery + engagement-bait risk reduced distribution).
- Disclose AI media; keep claims honest. A reply is content, not a command.
(Scope, distinctions + connections:
references/scope-and-connections.md.)
The formats — don't conflate (route correctly)
story-writer (this) = ephemeral interactive Stories (relationship, completion+taps) · reels-script = reach/discovery video · carousel-writer = Feed swipe depth · engagement-routine = the daily cadence/habit · community-management = audience → community.
Where this connects
Reads first: brand-profile, voice-builder. Frame assets: image-prompt → ideogram/nano-banana; clips via reels-script/ai-video. Copy: hook-writer, caption-writer. Traffic: link-in-bio-and-traffic. Reuse: content-recycling, cross-platform-repurposing. Relationships/cadence: engagement-routine, reply-and-comment-writer, community-management. Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (base frames; stickers native).
Definition of done
A 3–5 frame arc with one goal; F1 a sound-off hook; one beat per frame; the right interactive sticker with exact copy/placement; a single clear next step (+"Tap here" if a link); 9:16/safe-zone/ sound-off; Highlight + DM-reply plan; base frames routed to scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial with stickers flagged for native add; metrics read from Insights; no fabricated interaction, correctly distinguished from the Reels/carousel/cadence siblings.
