ig-caption
Skill0 starsChanged 29 days agoMITView on GitHub
Write and lint the caption for a queued Instagram post - the first line that survives the "... more" fold, one ask, plain words, at most five hashtags - in the user's own voice. Use when a queue item has no caption, when the user says "caption this", or when `igap lint` reports problems.

JakeschincariolSkillig-dm
Write Instagram DMs that get replies - the keyword delivery, the first message to someone who engaged, the collab pitch, and the two follow-ups. Use when the user says "DM this person", "what do I send them", "outreach message", "how do I follow up", "pitch this brand", or is reaching out to someone specific.

JakeschincariolSkillig-human
Strip the machine fingerprint out of any draft - em dashes, AI slop words, invisible watermark characters - and score it against a five-check detection panel before it goes out. Use whenever text needs to sound human, when the user says humanize, "does this sound like AI", "remove the em dashes", "de-slop this", "this sounds like ChatGPT", or before any caption, script, comment, reply or DM is shown to the user.

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
5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
Ask what the video shows and the one thing a viewer should do next, if the user has not said.
- Distinctive: line 15
Use only facts the user gave you.
- Very specific: line 20
If the account uses AI voices or generated footage, say so in the caption.
- Very specific: line 22
Run igap lint <id> and fix every ERROR.
- Distinctive: line 24
Write like a person talking to one viewer: contractions, concrete nouns, no stock phrases (the lint lists the common ones).
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 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-caption
The caption is the text under the frontmatter in the item's queue file
(~/.instagram-autopilot/queue/<id>.md). Edit it there, then igap lint <id>.
- Ask what the video shows and the one thing a viewer should do next, if the user has not said. Use only facts the user gave you.
- Line one carries the post. The feed shows about 125 characters. For a Reel that already hooks in the video, line one is context plus the ask; for an image or carousel, line one is the hook.
- One ask. Links are not clickable in captions, so say "link in bio".
- Hashtags: 0–3 specific ones beat 5 generic ones; the hard cap is
caption.max_hashtags. - If the account uses AI voices or generated footage, say so in the caption; put the phrase in
caption.require_phrasesso the lint enforces it. - Run
igap lint <id>and fix every ERROR. Read the WARN lines and fix the ones that matter.
Write like a person talking to one viewer: contractions, concrete nouns, no stock phrases (the lint lists the common ones).
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.
