Instructions: how to connect your Instagram account to Claude

Connect above does this for you. If Claude ever opens the dialog empty, here's exactly what goes where:

A strong reel can still fail in-feed if the text does not reinforce the retention promise.

caption-and-hashtags treats that as part of the craft, not a final cleanup.

Where a strong reel still dies in-feed

/caption-and-hashtags a 3-step system for [topic]

Prompt

/caption-and-hashtags a 3-step system for [topic]

Returned caption, hashtag clusters by reach band, and first-comment copy in one pass.

What came back

The return included a caption draft plus three hashtag bands and a comment starter tuned to comment intent. That is already enough to publish.

More importantly, it kept the CTA language aligned with the reel’s goal instead of drifting into generic call-to-actions.

The caption that still converts after editing

I reused the first-comment line in moderation, then swapped one hashtag band for local terms. Everything else stayed as returned and still felt on-brand.

If this is the stage where you usually stall, connect it to one full loop with content-factory and run it consistently.
