The Only Way to Grow Your Instagram With Claude in 2026

The Ootto Team · 2 min read · June 20, 2026

1Claude Code

Type this. The free Claude content skills land in your skills folder.

Prompt

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills.git && bash claude-content-skills/install.sh

Copies all fourteen into ~/.claude/skills. Restart Claude and every one of them is available.

2Claude AI or Cowork

No shell in these, so there's nothing to clone - sign in and add the connector instead, and get the same free Claude content skills running against a real account.

Turn every comment into an inbound lead.

We grew our own business on Instagram to over 10,000 leads in a month - one reel alone pulled 5,261 comments - spending 15 minutes a day. No agency, no content team, no posting schedule we couldn't keep.

For the less polished version, including what we failed to measure, read what happened when I let the system run my Instagram for a month.

Here's exactly how we did it - the whole method, nothing held back. This is the actual reel that pulled those comments, on the account we built from zero:

As of June 2026 it was sitting at 50k views in 10 days - the number above is baked into the reel itself and lags the real count.

How to set this up yourself

Start with the data. Here's the first piece of the stack, run by hand - nothing hidden.

Or stop the manual setup

This is the real product, not a mockup - it is running on our own @jayantcreates.ai account, the same one that pulled the comments above. Stop the manual setup - let Ootto handle it: onboarding, research, and one-click creation. One connector, fifteen minutes a day.

Onboarding learns your brand instead of asking you to fill in a form. Research finds the creators, ideas and hooks in your niche instead of you running Apify by hand. And one click on any reel hands Claude a brief already written - the reel's real transcript, hook, and your brand's rails.

Made by Ootto

Real reels, rendered by the engine

Six demonstration brands, six finished reels - the same engine that studies a niche and builds the reel actually made these, start to finish. No shot lists, no editors.

Or keep going by hand - the rest of the stack

If you would rather run it yourself, here is the rest of the stack.

Composio

2 · Wire it together

Lets an agent make authenticated tool-calls across 1,000+ apps, auth handled for you.

  1. Sign up at composio.dev and grab an API key from the dashboard
  2. This one's a Claude Code (terminal) connector - Composio hasn't published a Claude.ai web click-path for it
  3. Run: claude mcp add --transport http composio-composio "<your Composio MCP URL>" --headers "X-API-Key:<your key>"
  4. Restart Claude Code (exit, then claude) and confirm with claude mcp list
  5. First Composio tool call opens a browser link to authorize the Instagram toolkit - Claude then reads comments and posts without you touching tokens
ootto-watch

3 · Retention patterns

A Claude skill that lets Claude actually watch a video - frames and transcript aligned on one timeline. This is what finds where people keep watching, and where they leave.

  1. Claude Code: git clone https://github.com/Ootto-AI/ootto-watch ~/.claude/skills/watch-video
  2. claude.ai web: zip the folder, add it under Settings -> Capabilities -> Skills
  3. Then just tell Claude: "watch this video: <url>"
  4. Downloads via yt-dlp (Instagram, YouTube, X, Vimeo, 1000+ sites), samples key frames with ffmpeg, transcribes with native captions or local faster-whisper
  5. Pass several URLs at once to compare across them and find the patterns the winners share
Obsidian

4 · Memory

A free, private notes app - your files stay on your machine as plain Markdown.

  1. Download it (free), create a vault - it's just a folder on your disk
  2. In Obsidian: Settings -> Community plugins -> Browse -> search "MCP Connector" -> Install -> Enable
  3. In the plugin's own settings, "Quick setup for clients" -> Download .mcpb and drag it onto Claude Desktop to auto-install (or "Copy config for Claude Desktop" and paste it into Claude Desktop's Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config, then restart)
  4. Point the skills at that vault so every script is written from your own proven patterns, not a blank page
Remotion

5 · Render

Render the reel from the script your skills produced (a Node package).

  1. Scaffold a project: npx create-video@latest --yes --blank my-video, then cd my-video && npm i
  2. There's no Claude connector that renders for you - Remotion ships Agent Skills instead: npx skills add remotion-dev/skills drops best-practice rules into .claude/skills so Claude writes correct Remotion code
  3. Drop the script into a composition and render it yourself with npx remotion render <CompositionName> - that mp4 is what you post
Agent-Reach

6 · Eyes on the internet

Reads and searches Twitter, Reddit, YouTube, and GitHub through one CLI.

  1. Finds what your niche is actually engaging with, before Claude studies a single reel
Claude Content Skills

7 · The skills - free repo

The Agent Reach and Reel Analyzer logic that turns the data Apify pulls into research you can act on, given away.

  1. Install as a Claude Code plugin: /plugin marketplace add Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills
  2. /plugin install claude-content-skills@ootto-content-skills (or clone the repo and run install.sh - both drop the skills into ~/.claude/skills/)
  3. Run them in order: AI Brain, Agent Reach, Reel Analyzer, Going Viral, Viral Hook Writer, Reel Scripter, Reel Builder, Caption & Hashtags, Comment Responder - or run Content Factory once to chain the whole pipeline for you

It works. We ran it this way first. It also took us weeks, and it broke constantly. If you want the broader version of automating your content, we covered that too.

What it learns about you

This is the Brand Brain - how Ootto learns your voice, your niche, your audience and your rules, so every reel sounds like you and not like an AI.

It's built from your website, your connected Instagram, and research on your niche: your tone, your content pillars, the hooks that already work for your audience, and hard rules for what you'll never say. You can correct any of it by hand. That's what keeps a reel from reading as generic AI content - it's why the method above works the same whether you run it yourself or let Ootto run it. The method doesn't change. Only who's doing the work does.
