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 viral caption can sound like luck. A resilient reel is usually structure.

reel-analyzer is the version of “watch it again” with a reason attached to every second.

Viral looks like luck. It rarely is.

/reel-analyzer https://instagram.com/reel/example

Prompt

/reel-analyzer https://instagram.com/reel/example

Ran against one competitor reel that had visible retention above the account average.

The output I reused

The response came as ordered beats with timestamps, explicit hook intent, and the visual pacing at each turn. It was not only “what happened”; it was “what made the hook hold” and “where the re-hook lands.”

That format is the reason I can copy the winning pattern without copying the creator’s lines.

I copied the structure, not the creator

I copied only the beat map, then rebuilt line-by-line from my own offer and tone. The result was faster script drafting, because the timing pressure was already solved.

If you want the full pipeline around one reel instead of a single teardown, use it as the entry point for agent-reach and reel-scripter.
