The 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…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# instagram-reels-publishing

The **Reel publish-mechanics skill** — get a finished Reel **out** the way Instagram displays it (specs, safe
zone, cover, settings). The agent **specs the publish settings + the cover brief + the specs/safe-zone
checklist + advises audio/tags**; **WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover**; **trending
audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, quality + Insights are native/in-app**, and the video/cover/burned-in captions
come from other tools.

## The POV: the Reel is made elsewhere — this gets it OUT spec-clean
Great Reels get squashed/cropped/blurred at the **publish step** — a sizing/settings problem, not a content
problem. Design for **how Instagram actually displays a Reel**: full **9:16** in the Reels tab, a **4:5** crop
in the feed, and the **3:4 (1080×1440)** profile-grid crop (the 2025 rectangular-grid change) — so keep critical content **centered**
and in the **safe zone.** The **cover** is chosen before publish and **can't be edited after.** WoopSocial
publishes **postType REEL + video + caption + cover**; the trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, and quality

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/instagram-reels-publishing@sha256:080c04cf3db3c5f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
