Build a sized Instagram hashtag set for a post using the 2026 reality that 3 to 5 well-chosen tags beat 30 random ones. Sizes each tag as niche (under 50k posts), mid (50k to 500k), or broad (500k+), then assembles a 2-3 niche, 1-2 mid, 0-1 broad mix that a small or mid account can actually rank in, matched to the post content and rotated to avoid spam patterns. Use to choose hashtags for a caption, carousel, or Reel. Not for writing the caption itself (use ig-caption-writer).
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 Hashtag Strategist Pick 3-5 hashtags that actually help, sized so the post can rank. The 30-tag wall is dead: in 2026 hashtags work as topic labels, and a small account ranks in niche tags, not in million-post broad ones. This skill builds the sized set. ## When to use - User has a caption, carousel, or Reel and needs hashtags - User is still posting 20-30 generic tags and wants the 2026 approach - User wants tags sized to where their account can actually rank ## The model: size, not volume A tag's **size** is its total post count. The strategy is a mix so the post ranks in the small tags while touching the bigger ones. | Tier | Post count | Role | Use | |---|---|---|---| | Niche | under 50k | where a small/mid account can actually rank for hours | 2-3 | | Mid | 50k - 500k | enough audience, beatable competition | 1-2 | | Broad | 500k+ | a brief category-label touch, ranks for minutes | 0-1 | **Default: 3-5 total.** Full reasoning in `../../references/hashtag-strategy.md`. ## Steps 1. **Get the post.** The caption, carousel topic, or Reel subject, plus the target audience and the account's rough size (so the niche/mid split fits). …

How to install
mdr add sergebulaev/instagram-skills/ig-hashtag-strategist@sha256:07dafa7511c102d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.f16f702, 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.
