The Instagram SEO / keyword-search skill -- IG-specific search depth, distinct from the cross-cutting social-seo. Use when someone wants an Instagram post/Reel to rank in search, needs IG keyword research, or wants a searchable caption/profile. Instagram shifted from hashtag-based discovery to keyword-based search (hashtags deprioritized to 3-5 topic labels). Search runs semantic analysis -> metadata matching -> visual recognition (checks alt text + visual MATCH the caption). Uses the MATCH…

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-seo

The **IG keyword-search layer** — research the queries and write the keyworded caption (and advise the profile
labels + visual signals) that make a post rank in Instagram search. The agent **researches + writes the
search-first caption + specs the on-screen/spoken keyword + advises the profile/alt text**; **WoopSocial
publishes the caption**; **the Name field, handle, bio, alt text, category, and auto-captions are native/
advised**, and on-screen text/audio come from other tools/the creator.

## The POV: Instagram is a keyword search engine — keywords replaced hashtags

hashtags are deprioritized to **3–5 topic labels**, and **a large and growing share of discovery/new followers
now starts from search** (verify-quarterly; never quote a precise share). It's a
**closed system** (no external crawl/backlinks) but **Google + Bing index IG captions.** Search runs
**semantic analysis → metadata matching** (Name field/bio/caption **keyword cluster**) **→ visual recognition**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/instagram-seo@sha256:2bb0f45870f327e3

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.
