viral-instagram-reels
From the author
Plan, write, and diagnose Instagram Reels that earn cold-audience reach. Use whenever someone wants a reels script or reels hook for a specific Reel, is debugging why a Reel flopped, wants to know if a draft is worth testing with Trial Reels before going public, or needs a reels caption tuned for the post-hashtag instagram algorithm. Built around what Mosseri has publicly named as the signal hierarchy (watch time, sends per reach, likes per reach), the Trial Reels test-then-publish loop, the Original Content Guidelines and 30-day recovery window, the Edits app, and Reels Insights metrics (skip rate, share rate, followers from this post). Covers a Reels-specific reels strategy: send-driving CTAs, originality without watermarks, audio licensing by account type, captions as the primary SEO signal, and the anti-patterns that quietly cap distribution. Pattern-based guidance, not a virality promise.

- reels-scriptsocial-media-skills/skillsUse to write an Instagram Reels script — a native, sound-off-first short-video script optimized for Instagram's discovery engine, built around a 3-second hook, watch-through, and sends (DM shares). Run when the user says "Reels script," "Instagram Reel," "make a Reel," "Reel hook," "trial reel," or wants short-form video for Instagram specifically. Reads brand-profile and voice first; writes the muted version first; structures for watch-through + sends; places IG-search keywords; picks original vs trending audio (trending audio is added natively in-app — not via WoopSocial); briefs the cover frame; outputs a production doc (shot - on-screen text - spoken - audio - timing) plus a Veo prompt pack for faceless/b-roll shots. The generic scripting craft lives in short-form-video-script; for TikTok use tiktok-script; for Shorts use youtube-shorts; hands the caption to caption-writer, publishing to instagram-reels-publishing, and scheduling to scheduling-and-queue.Media★ 193
- instagram-reels-publishingsocial-media-skills/skillsThe 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 caption, and audio. Uses the FRAME framework. Reads brand-profile + the Reel asset first. The agent specs the publish settings, cover brief, and specs/safe-zone checklist, and advises audio/tags. WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover on a schedule; trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, and Reel Insights stay native/in-app; the video/cover come from other tools. Remove other-platform watermarks; metrics never fabricated.Media★ 193
- instagram-marketingsergebulaev/instagram-skillsPlan, draft, audit, and publish content for Instagram. Use when the user wants to write a caption with a first-125-char hook, plan a slide-by-slide carousel, reverse-engineer the hook from a viral Reel or carousel, size hashtags the 2026 way, remove AI tells from a caption, or plan a week of Reels and carousels. Instagram requires media on every post, so the skills write the caption and the user supplies the image or video; posts publish via the Publora API draft, upload, schedule flow.Marketing★ 584
- viralityOotto-AI/claude-content-skillsPlan, script and review short-form videos (Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) so they actually get watched, with hooks that do something extraordinary in the first 3 seconds. Use when the user wants a reel idea, a hook, a script, a storyboard, or wants to know why a post flopped. Built from the real winners and losers of 262 posts and 3.5M views on @jayantcreates.ai.Planning★ 272
- ig-hook-extractorsergebulaev/instagram-skillsReverse-engineer the hook from a viral Instagram Reel or carousel, given a URL or a pasted caption. Identifies which of the 10 canonical 2026 formulas it uses (number-first, contrarian, relatable, confession, listicle, before/after, myth-buster, framework, pattern-interrupt Reel, how-I Reel), explains why it worked, names the primary goal, and returns a blank template mapped to your topic. Use to learn from a post you admire. Not for writing your own (use ig-caption-writer or ig-carousel-planner).Writing★ 584
- going-viralOotto-AI/claude-content-skillsThe strategy layer for making short-form video actually go viral — pick the goal, manufacture the emotion that drives it, then build the hook + funnel around it. Use when the user says "go viral", "make it go viral", "why isn't my content getting views", "how do I get more reach / saves / shares / followers", "my reels flop", "viral strategy", "what makes a reel go viral", or "how do I grow on Instagram / TikTok / Shorts". This is the WHY/strategy above the tactical skills (viral-hook-writer writes the hook; this decides what to make it about and why).Media★ 272
