ig-comment
Skill88 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub
Write comments on other people's Instagram posts and reels that read as a person with an opinion, not a bot. Use when the user pastes a post or a reel and wants a comment, says "comment on this", "engage with this", "what do I say here", or wants a batch for their daily engagement round.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 24
If they give a URL you cannot open, ask them to paste it.
- Distinctive: line 53
Say the specific thing: If the comment could sit under any post on the topic, it is not a comment, it is noise.
- Distinctive: line 55
No pitching, ever: Not the offer, not the link, not "check out my page".
- Distinctive: line 91
Do not auto-post, do not automate comments, and do not use a browser tool to publish on the user's behalf.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
ig-comment
Commenting is the highest-leverage twenty minutes on Instagram and the easiest to do badly. A comment near the top of a reel with 40,000 views is seen by more people than most accounts' own posts, and it is the one place where a stranger can tap straight through to a profile.
A generic comment is worse than none. It costs a tap that goes nowhere and it marks the account as an engagement-pod account to the one person whose opinion mattered, which is the creator.
Input
The user pastes the post or reel text, or a screenshot, with the account name. If they give a URL you cannot open, ask them to paste it. Do not use a browser tool to scrape the feed and do not post anything.
The nine comment types
Pick by what the post actually is. Never default to type 1.
| # | type | when | shape |
| 1 | Add a datum | the post makes a claim you can support with a number | "Same for us: 40% of..." |
| 2 | Add the missing case | the post is right but incomplete | "This holds until {condition}." |
| 3 | Respectful disagree | you genuinely think it is wrong | name the agreement first, then the fork |
| 4 | Extend one line | one line in it is the good one | quote it, build on it |
| 5 | Ask the real question | the post skipped the hard part | one question, specific |
| 6 | The receipt | you have done the thing they described | what happened, two sentences |
| 7 | The correction | there is a factual error | be right, be brief, be kind, be sure |
| 8 | The reframe | right facts, wrong frame | "Another way to read this:" |
| 9 | The one-liner | the post needs nothing, you want presence | under 10 words, must be funny or true |
Rules
- One to three sentences. Instagram comments are read in a narrow column under a video. A paragraph gets collapsed behind "more" and nobody taps it.
- Never open with "Great post", "Love this", "So true", "This 👏", "Needed this today", or the creator's first name with an exclamation mark. All of them are invisible.
- No emoji-only comments and no emoji as the first character.
- Never restate the reel. Everybody watching just watched it.
- One idea. A comment with two points reads as a hijack.
- Say the specific thing. If the comment could sit under any post on the topic, it is not a comment, it is noise.
- No pitching, ever. Not the offer, not the link, not "check out my page". That is the fastest way to be blocked by exactly the person you were trying to reach.
- Early matters more here than anywhere. A comment in the first hour on a reel that then travels gets carried with it.
Output
Give two options of different types, labelled, plus one line on which you
would post and why. Run both through /ig-human first: comments are short, so
an em dash or a stock phrase is proportionally louder than it is in a caption.
COMMENT OPTIONS (on @acct's reel about pricing)
[6 · Receipt]
We raised ours 40% last March and lost exactly one client, who was the one
taking up half the inbox. Took eight months to stop being scared of it.
[3 · Respectful disagree]
Agree on the anchoring. The part I would push back on is doing it mid-project.
We tried that and it cost us a renewal that was otherwise fine.
Post the first. It concedes something and it has a number in it.Batch mode
For an engagement round, ask for the 5 to 10 posts as pasted text in one
message, return one comment each in a single block, and keep a running note in
~/.claude/instagram/log.md of who has been commented on this week.
Commenting on the same three accounts every day is visible and it looks like
exactly what it is.
Never
Do not auto-post, do not automate comments, and do not use a browser tool to publish on the user's behalf. Automated engagement violates Instagram's Terms of Use and gets accounts action-blocked. This skill writes the comment. The user posts it.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
